Even better, this can easily be snuck past supressive third world country border guards by saying it is "only a Palm" and being able to do a full story or interview complete with photos that can show up on the 'net within hours.
My biggest comment is that I wish there was something to cover up the lens fitting totally so it doesn't look like a camera all the time for these purposes. Thus, I see this as more of a professional tool than a consumer item due to the price and size. I keep on wondering when someone will start to use the line "laptop replacement" for these high end PDAs. Also notable is that the backlight is brighter than any previous clie models. At 0 percent, it looks brighter than my NR did at With so much valid concern about battery life, why don't the manufacters of PDAs epecial the most expensive lines just install TWO or more batteries?
Batteries can be very thin and not too big. It should not be such a staggering challenge for design engineers to do this.
We have already send men to the moon Why should it be so difficult to put multi-batteries in a PDA! One could guarantee application power and the other s to support mulit-media features, etc. I must say, this is the first NZ90 review I've read that wasn't half-assed. Ryan, do you think you could elaborate a bit more on the Bluetooth? Was connecting it to the T68i and TT something easy or was it painstaking and needed tweaking? I'm probably going to put together a howto on the topic soon.
I am trying with a Nokia i and a NZ90 with no sucess. And Nokia were no help. Any suggestions? Steve Foister Something that needs correcting Thomas Check out the Palm Tungsten T review at www. Although I thought the first clam shell clies were sort of cool, this one is out of hand. Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of a handheld when it approaches the size and price of a laptop? I play MP3s, video, and connect to the internet via Bluetooth on my Tungsten, and can do most everything with one hand.
It's size and now price is half that of the NZ Get yourself a good set of NiMH rechargable and you'll be good to go The Tungsten is still pretty much just an organizer. By the time you have bought all of the software and accessories to get functionality similar to the NX70V much less the NZ90 , you've already spent about the same amount while having a much less elegant and seamless solution.
At least the public did a great job of forcing Palm and the retailers to bring the price down to where it should have been originally. People have proven that they're willing to splurge on entertainment. While the NZ90 is the biggest PalmOS device, it also the most advance, intergrated, and convergence device.
You'll have to pay for a third party MP3 player and by many reports does not even sound that good. The current trend is to have the most features seemlessly intergated into a single unit. The NZ90 has all of that and although it's big, it remained fairly elegant and functional. So while the NZ90 is not a unit for everybody, it is a statement unit.
Sony is letting to Palm and PPC world know that they are on the forefront on innovations and intergration. Hate to tell you, but the days that Palm is just an organizer is rapidly setting and if Palm still believes in their outdated stupid "Zen of Palm" philosophy, then their days are over too.
The NZ90 is something that Palm should have made to show that they are in the game, but as usual Palm elected to warm the bench. KAY Thick as a brick. It's not a PDA, whatever it is. And it's nothing Palm should have made, given their financial status. Sony can better afford it. And do they care if it doesn't sell in the U. Not too much, probably. Video is very, very popular there. As noted, this could be a good journalist's tool. But it's probably got the smallest niche market of any handheld device going.
Not enough for me. I prefer it to my iPAQ, even though it's screen is a bit smaller. I give Sony credit for this device, but until they can make it the size of a Tungsten T, comparisions and arguements are moot. They could start by making Wi-Fi optional.
That could trim size and weight. I hope Sony does well with it, but they seem to be marketing as though these were Walkmans. At one time they had over 25 available. One for every possible occasion, I guess.
Apparently not. OK, fine. But the title of this thread is "It's a brick," and there's very little point in denying that. So I guess it's quite easy to harp on the initial poster's fondness for the Tungsten.
OK, where to begin. First, this review is of the NZ Why do you bring up the NZ70? Second, your statement about cost simply isn't true. Third, "elegant? Powerful, no question.
But "elegant? Point is, mashoutposse, you're perfectly entitled to love your NZ90, just as someone else is perfectly entitled to enjoy their Tungsten, or their T, or their Treo90, or heck, even their Visor Prism. But this evangelist-style drivel is just downright tiring. It's the spam of message boards. You may have noticed that the cellphone industry is currently in the toilet because consumer demand is not really in-step with these kinds of products.
Or perhaps you didn't Palm's tactic has always been size over function. Please, please, please stop calling the NZ90 "elegant. I think Palm realizes that the "Zen" ain't what it used to be, which is why they're trying to pack more punch.
Sure, they're behind Sony in terms of function, but they don't mind that. And I wish the "Sony-istas" would stop the doom-and-gloom predictions about Palm's days being numbered.
People said 2 years ago that Sony would rule and Palm would be defunct. And despite Palm's admission that the T T hasn't sold as well as they'd hoped, Palm still sees its market share increase.
Now, my own thoughts on the NZ90 are these: --it's got lots of goodies --it's big --the stylus actually sucks worse than the one on my T Go read it.
All the way to the end, this time. I bought a Tungsten T and an SD card. I have taken it out of the box and have just finished charging it. I have turned it on. Now, I ask you -- What can I do with this thing? That was not my intention, however there's nothing wrong with comparing the business strategies of these two companies. Have I mention anything about cellular economy? I said Trend. Well, perphaps YOU didn't understand the point. What does all the TV ads, magazine ads, etc There are numerous articles that claim that wireless ascess to the internet and wireless communication between electric components is the future.
I think that putting everything that the NZ90 has in a package that is slightly larger than the NX series is "elegant". If you created the OS and one oof your licensee are kicking your butt in terms of function and that does not bother you? You can't be serious. By the way, you realize that Palm has already split into two. According to the article above, Sony wants to buy the entire OS division.
The Palm Zire is all Zen and almost nothing else of value. I'll bet it outsells this NZ brick by over to-1 in unit volume. Those parts are loose. Battery compartment is clean, and it properly closes. Battery ejecting function is normal. Charging port is without damages. Whole keyboard and side controls have adequate mechanical response. Stylus is missing. Camera module opens and closes well. Unit is tested with a proper charger, but it can not charge a battery.
