LisaAS36 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I have decided to get a basic PDA and due to the fact I have some Sony Memory sticks for my digital camera, I think I'm going to get a Sony Clie. I'm having trouble picking between the S360 and the SL10. From what I can tell, the S360 has 16m RAM, 160x160 resolution and goes for around $150. The SL10 has 8m RAM 320x320 resolution and sells for $105 (Amazon has a $25 rebate). I will use the Clie for name and address storage mostly, will probably end up loading caches into it but don't see my self using it on a daily basis as an appointment book or anything like that. Does anyone out there have one of these units and can make a recommendation between the two? Or can recommend another low end Clie Thanks- Lisa [This message was edited by LisaAS36 on November 06, 2002 at 08:15 AM.] Quote Link to comment
azog Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 If you plan on becoming (or already are) a charter member, and using the pocket queries, get the higher rez. model. MobiPocket has a version specifically for the high-rez screen of the CLIE. ---------- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be also be like him. Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I don't own either of those models, but I do have a T615C, and am quite happy with it. I think I've seen prices running in the $200's lately, so its not quite as inexpensive as your current choices. If you're only going to be using it for text-based stuff (datebook, contacts), then the lower resolution one would be fine. But since you have a digital camera, you may want to consider the higher resolution Clie. I've been loading pictures onto a memory stick, and showing them to people on my Clie; everyone who has seen it has been impressed with both the quality of the image as shown on the Clie, as well as the idea of showing pics on a gadget (and personally, I think its a lot easier to carry my Clie around when showing pictures, rather than a bulky envelope of pics from Wal-Mart or Eckerd.) The one good thing about the Clies is the memory stick option. Thanks to having a memory stick, I have all the normal Palm OS programs, several drug and medical reference programs, games, and my geocaching & vacation pictures all together, and still haven't run out of memory. ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick.

LisaAS36 Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 Thanks everyone. I went out tonight and picked up the SL10. (It even came with a free game of Scrabble) Lisa Quote Link to comment
azog Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 If you plan on taking your CLIE out on cache hunts, I'd strongly recommend getting one of these cases. I had my CLIE in the leather slip-case, and I was afraid of getting it damaged. Now, this new case is made out of metal, and i don't worry. ---------- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be also be like him. Quote Link to comment
