The keyboard has a short in it and Sony wants $150 to fix it. So, since I don't want to pay that much to get it fixed, I am going to purchace a new PDA. What would be a good replacement for it? I really want another Clie because everything I have is Sony and I can easily exchange data between them all with the memory sticks.

It was announced a long time ago that Sony would stop it's Clie line. Try a search on here and you'll get all the details as well as a lot of shouting Sony no longer sees the Clie line and palm OS as a viable market unfortunately. __________________ Dags Japanese Clie/Palm/Tapwave User (Vx - m505/J - 750C/J - NR70/J - NX80V/J - TH55/J - T\|T3.5 - Zod1 - Zod2)

If you need anything that requires a keyboard (ie email, notes, contacts, todos) then UX50 is a great alternative / upgrade. I bought my used on ebay. No issues. Very happy. Just another option. __________________ TG50 -> Now UX50 & TH55 , 1GB MS Pro, BT-GPS, EB40.

I'm torn between 3 options, the palm zire 72, Tungston C, or just start using my phone for pda stuff, and use an mp3 player for music. Games aren't as fun on the phones though so I'm not sure I want to go that way. Granted the Tungston C wouldn't be good for mp3 either, but with the wi-fi would make a good 'net palm. __________________ Egun On Lagunak (Basque for g'day, mates) Pete Nalda

Since the Remote comander program is also nice, I can use that also in my line of work (television installer). I got an old NR-70v and that has a keyboard also on board. It uses the same desktop charger so it is a good choice to use simotaneously with the TG-50. I should have bought another TG-50 when I had the chance, I don't think any device would make a good substitute for TG-50. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.

philpalm Registered User Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Alhambra Posts: 1,196	I now have 4.7M of 11M space in my internal memory on my TG-50. Previously when trying to play legacy I couldn't play it because not enough internal memory. I moved mobipocket (1.4M to a folder in my memorycard) and now I can play legacy again. The great thing about TG-50 is you can use a pro duo card up to 2GB. You just have to remember to juggle around different programs into a memory card to leave enough space to use memory intensive programs like legacy. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.
