My dreams of owning a audio/visual handheld comunication device almost came true with the NZ90. Also have a device that I can hold pictures, record movies, and listen to mp3 all in one made it all worth the purchase. from Pricegrabber.com Good graphics. Weaknesses: Large and top heavy, short battery life, low internal memory, no modem and external wifi device. Summary: My dreams of owning a audio/visual handheld comunication device almost came true with the NZ90. Also have a device that I can hold pictures, record movies, and listen to mp3 all in one made it all worth the purchase. from Pricegrabber.com It has a 2 megapixel built in camera, a voice recorder(comes in very handy at times). Has an MP3 player, I don't know why, it is not all that useful to me for mp3 listening. Wireless connectivity using an optional Sony WLAN is a charm. Connects to internet flawlwssly - get mail and browse internet. from Pricegrabber.com It has a 2 megapixel built in camera, a voice recorder(comes in very handy at times).

The Bottom Line: Buy an NZ90 if you are a fiddling afficionado who loves toys. Do not buy one if you have small pockets, large fingers or a tight budget! from Shopping.com Lens cover (opens in pocket). Memory stick (dislodges in pocket). The Bottom Line: Buy an NZ90 if you are a fiddling afficionado who loves toys. Do not buy one if you have small pockets, large fingers or a tight budget! from Shopping.com The NZ90 is great. It has become a laptop replacement for me. from Pricegrabber.com Most of it's people seems to complain it's battery usage especially when operating cameras but if you make your backlit screen minimal as possible, then the camera will last longer even with the flash. I do that all the time and usually gets me 50 shots with flash if used continuosly without quitting; quitting so would make results for your battery life different. MP3 works great but you'll need to format your mp3s to atrac3 using sony's software since all it playback is atrac3. I also recommand that you get at least 256mb of merory stick pro for this one; that way you can backup lots of data in case your pda screws up and also to store some video clips, games, works, etc. from Amazon.com Take for example audio player. It can only play files which has a frequency of 44.1KHz and data rate of 96kbps to 128kbps. However there are some awesome products out there, but since sony doesnt provide their API, these products dont work for nz90. Battery life is terrible. from Amazon.com You cannot even fill a MS on one battery charge and movies cannot be taken (or the flash used) at anything less than full power. The battery is rechargeable (and removable), but there is no external charger available. Batteries must be charged in the Clie.

The cradle connection is awkward and usually takes both hands and some jiggling to get it to seat on the cradle. The only way to tell it is seated properly is to turn it on and make sure the battery logo has a lighting bolt accross it indicating that the unit is charging and therefore is properly seated in the cradle.

I am now looking at a Pocket PC and digital camera (separate) to get better performance.
