SonyUSA is now showing (and accepting orders) for the TH55 ($399.99) and TJ37 ($299.99).



This is the first time i've been really torn about preordering (and not waiting until the first price drop) a pda, since the 55 is near zactly what I've been waiting for. Trouble is, there's always a few "oops" with any new model, so what's going to be the oops for this one? Or should i wait to see the new Palm T-whatever?

Decisions, decisions....


Main differences (per Sony's spec sheets):
55 has 123mhz Sony Handheld Engine cpu, 37 has 200mhz i.MXL cpu (have to think the 55 is better/faster/more power stingy, but no facts behind that)
55 has voice recorder, 320x480 screen
55 is .10 thicker, .38 taller
55 can sync via wifi
55 is 1.5oz. heavier

Personally, the screen size is the drawing card of the 55. I miss my HandEra's huge screen, and although the 320x320 Sony screens are nice, that extra real estate is mighty handy and makes the wifi almost usable.
