 about as good as a Palm OS 4.x device can get March 5, 2010

The Clie T665c naturally invites comparison with the Clie SJ33 (and forget about Palm m515) - both feature the same bright hi-res screen, 66 Mhz Dragonball CPU, and 16 megs of RAM. They do have several differences that might influence your choice.
First, SJ33 comes with Bejewled in ROM and the T665 comes instead with Remote Commander. Shown as RMC in the app menu, this lets you use your Clie as an IR remote control. I didn't think much of this feature until I realized how often I have to keep looking around my apartment for my TV's remote (roommate keeps misplacing it). But I always have my Clie handy.
But if you're going to use it for this, better keep your charger handy. The IR port eats up your battery power fast. This is exacerbated by the fact that the T665 only has a 750 maH battery capacity. The SJ33 has 1200 maH, and I've seen hi-cap batteries for the SJ33 as large as 1500 maH.
Another difference is the up/down buttons on the front. On the SJ33 these are very strangely shaped and are not raised above the level of the case. They're quite inconvenient to use. The T665 does not have buttons for up/down; rather, it has a little lever switch that sticks directly up out of the case. You do not press down into the handheld; instead you flick the lever up or down parallel to the case (either towards the screen or away). This is really effective for one-handed operation.
Another great convenience is the on/off power button located in the lower right corner. The SJ33 has no such button -- you have to use the On/Off/Hold slide switch on the side of the case (not very handy). Of course, to power up you could tap one of the App buttons (Datebook, Memo, Todo, Address), but this sends you directly to that app, and if you want to go someplace else, you'll have to get into the App screen and find your other app. With the T665, if you're using RMC say, you can power up directly into RMC just by pushing the power button. If you're a channel surfer you will appreciate this a great deal.
The Palm handhelds all have power buttons, but the location of the T665 power button at the lower right corner is an improvement over the Palm. If you're holding the T665 with one hand, it's easy to reach with your thumb to get at the power button. The Palm power button at the top of the handheld means you have to hold the handheld with one hand and use your index finger of your other hand to get to the power button. I realize this isn't a great effort, but believe me, if you're constantly powering up and down this really starts to get to you.
One thing to be aware of is that the screen on my T665 sometimes goes dark for no apparent reason. It's working fine one minute, dark the next. I thought my battery was going. Then I checked the Sony website and found out that you need to do a soft reset. I did that was right back in business.
Other than these minor differences in feature sets, the T665 is functionally the same as the SJ33. Cosmetically, the SJ33 comes in a sleek all-plastic case with a sturdy integrated flip-cover. The T665 comes in an aluminum shell with no cover. Also, the dimensions of the two handhelds differ. The SJ33 is slightly thicker, shorter, and stockier in proportion. The T665 is the same width, but has a longer case above the screen and below the buttons. So choosing which is a matter of taste and style. Myself, I keep my T665 for use around the house, and grab one of my SJ33s for work in the field.
I have been unable to find any metal cases for the T665. There is one by InnoPocket, but despite their description it is too shallow for the T665. It's actually for the even-thinner T415. Don't buy this for your T665. You'll have to settle for a leather case.
One gripe I have for all the Clies is the Back button. It doesn't return you to your previous app - it simply takes you back to the App launcher. Useless. This is particularly annoying in RMC. You can configure RMC to use the jog dial in addition to the screen. I have dial-up fixed as volume-up, dial-down as volume-down, and push-jog to switch back to previous channel. So I must be careful not to touch the back button, since then I have to tap RMC in the app launcher to get back control of my TV. Useless and annoying. And there's no way to disable the back button.
What more's to say? Bright screen, 16 megs of RAM, and 66 Mhz speed. (The higher clock rate definitely makes a big difference when speed-writing in Graffiti. and when running the free public-domain CBasPad BASIC interpreter by Ron Nicholson.) It does about anything one could expect from a Palm OS 4 handheld.
was great January 14, 2008

Was great for a little while, but quickly got outdated. Still good for basics.

i doubt anyone will even ever read this as sony has pulled out of the market, but this is a really solid pda. i need a new one b/c the screen is messed up from dropping it too many times (i am really hard on it). i have really enjoyed it though. as long as i am replacing it, i want a faster processor. 66 Mhz is a lot faster than the original palms, and faster than most folks need...but i run some medical software on mine that utilizes every ounce of speed. if you are just a regular user, or relatively new to pdas, you won't be disappointed in this one! be sure to get the cradle that comes with it as it is pretty cool.
Awesome hanheld May 5, 2004

This has been one of the better electronics purschases I've made. Memory is great, full of features (MP3 audio is great), no stupid thumb keyboard. I've thought of upgrading just because, but despite being two years old, no other PDA on the market is as functional as the T-665C. The only drawback - no way to add a WiFi card. COme on SOny! Build it, and they will come!
