Went out last night and bought a Clie TG50. Not for me, but a friend who just wanted a Bluetooth enable PDA.

What I find surprising is that in Singapore, SONY keeps their distributor in check. Like any retailer, you can ask them for special deal. Not for the Clie. The salesman says, once SONY finds out he's giving a discount, they'll freeze shipment for 6 months.

Anyway, it's S$699 (about $400) for this model. The Zire 71 sells for S$550 (US$315). So, having read all the promises of Bluetooth yet to be fulfilled :-(, I would go for the Zire and buy a Bluetooth card instead. But then again, it's not my dollar, just helping a fried ;-)

Regards,
Deva
