UX50 Review

It looks pretty... but functional?

I had planned to write this review on the UX50 but its keyboard is simply too cramped and unresponsive. There’s almost no tactile feedback from keypresses and typing is a real chore. The onscreen handwriting recognition is no substitute either, as PDA fans will attest.


Then there’s the screen. Yes, it is clear and bright but it’s pretty obvious that 4.5in just isn’t going to be enough. My eyes really hurt after about 15 minutes of web surfing and that’s despite constant use of the zoom buttons.

These are comments taken from Digital World Tokyo review of the New Sony UX50.
