 Under rated Feb 17, 2008
By Tamerlane O. Phillips
I have been using this sony mylo com-2 for a couple days. Let me start by saying that i feel alot of the reviews that are negative about this device are wrong. I use the sony mylo 2 to make skype calls and read and respond to emails also i use it to watch youtube videos.The skype application works great very good call quality and if your listening to music or surfing the web and a call comes in a skype screen comes up and you can answer the call.Email function is great and you can add photo attachements and view photo attachments.Web surfing is really fast but you have to turn off the power save feature(tools then network settings then click on advanced and uncheck the box that says power save) and if you do that the youtube videos are smooth and the surfing might be faster.
some of the reviews complained about the memory problem with multi tasking on the sony mylo com-2 if you are running three applications at the same time you can get this memory error screen and you have to shut down one of the apps. alot of pocket pc's have this memory problem i own the Dell Axim X51v and even though the dell goes for $455 you encounter the same problem and have to shut down apps.
I love the sony mylo-2 so far so good...

A personal comunicator, not a computer. Mar 12, 2008
By Chaz Ashley
The mylo COM2 is great, I had the first one and didn't like it so much, but made use of it anyway. I think this thing is great, it works all IM clients well and you can go on the net and actually upload stuff. The keyboard is backlit so it's always easy to work that, it's touch screen and easy to navigate. Websites load pretty fast for a handheld and you can scroll 3 different ways. You may not be able to have every one of the applications open but, it's NOT a computer, it's a personal communicator. Just wanted to mention that since some have that confused.

Good but expensive Mar 05, 2008
By Gareth Baron
"Gareth B."
I bought a Mylo Com-2 predominantly for Skype calling from wi-fi (802.11b/g) hotspots. My impression of the unit was that it was well put together and the software was easy to use. I'll cut to the chase on what I didn't like: (1) the Skype functionality can't be used in hands-free mode - a big no-no for me since I like to communicate whilst having hands free. It's a shame because the music player works through the speaker - I guess it's a firmware patch thing. (2) the fact that you have to use Sony's proprietary memory sticks. Wake up Sony. The world now uses SDCards. You lost the race! (3) The price. At $299 USD it's way over priced. If you consider that a Blackberry with Skype costs ~$200 and you get a relatively cheap data-plan from a cell phone carrier you're going to have similar costs plus you have a cell phone and the other MP3 capabilities etc. (4) the proprietary microphone attachment. Admittedly they have improved this model by having a standard headphone socket.
So being fair, the product is actually well designed and the concept is good. you get AIM/YIM, Facebook, Myspace and web access without the use of a laptop (which you could probably get for a similar price used). You also get a 1.3Mpixel Camera. It's aimed at the Social-Network generation. It has the standard very good Sony 'out of the box experience'. It's a shame that it's so late and I feel that it has missed the market window. However I see that the product is aimed at children, so it may be appropriate. The question you have to ask yourself is: Do you really want to spend ~$300 on a toy that has limited use ? Why not buy a cheap cell phone and a family cell phone plan (lot's of cell phones have IM/MP3 and web/email access and Facebook/Gmail plug-ins for free - heck the iPhone has all of the above and it's really cool with an 8Gb MP3 player default [for ~$400]!. With that you can keep in contact with your kids any time and they can call 911 or emergency services if needed !! (This is a big deal for most parents I know). My money would go with the Cell Phone Plan.
The reason for a 3 star rating is that the product is well designed and functions very well at what it was designed to do. I just wish it had a cell phone built in (which would be a killer product!). I just can't justify the cost of something like this. For $100 maybe. An expensive handset otherwise. Yes, Sony is probably using the argument that you will get free communications and you are cell-phone plan free. Guess what, you're also tied into wi-fi hot-spots (which is not everywhere!). That compromise doesn't justify the cost.

 It's really good Mar 09, 2008
By S. Hajdasz
"PieBreaker"
This product is actually really good. I got one for myself( white one) and another one for my fiance ( black one). They look very nice and everything else works great. The only problem I see is that you can't buy internet for this. And the hotspots are not that good, you can't use it on the bus or the car or the train... only where there is free access to internet and that gets me upset.

Works Great Dec 04, 2008
By Mike
"Mike"
I bought this device primarily for using the Skype client while travelling overseas. It works GREAT! The sound quality is great and I've never had a problem connecting to any hotel wireless network. I also purchased a D-Link travel router (about $70) to use at hotels where only wired internet is available through an ethernet cable, and have not had any problems with that either. I read some of these negative reviews and it appears that some people bought the Mylo thinking it would do things that it didn't claim to do. It is NOT a cell phone, it is NOT a computer, although it is reasonably capable of browsing the internet. You DO have to have a wireless internet signal to use this on the internet. I've put movies on it to watch and music to listen to, and have been overall very happy with my Mylo 2.
