Palm Tungstenā„¢ E2 Handheld

Pros: Bright screen, weight, size
Cons: Hotsync, screen calibration

In early September my 2 year old Palm Zire 71 fried itself. One day it was charging, got really hot, and simply stopped working. I knew it was coming. For a couple weeks the battery didn't hold a charge and always felt warm, so when the PDA finally ...

Pros: Color display, good use of memory, compact
Cons: Easy to lose, needs GSM phone for Bluetooth wireless

During the big “Flood of 2005” which struck the isolated area of Central Virginia also know as “My Basement”, my wife lost a PDA (more specifically a Sony Clie (epinons keeps displaying the wrong charatcer for the accent mark) to the ...

Pros: Compact, great software, a huge help to organization!
Cons: Designed such that you must buy accessories to get full functionality, and other things

I purchased a Tungsten E2 because I just started back to grad school and I suddenly need somewhere to put a dozen manuals, and get a whole lot more organized. While I would say I was satisfied with the Tungsten, there are some niggles about the design ...

Pros: Nice color screen, low cost, Documents to Go included
Cons: Poor cradle design, Graffiti 2

OVERVIEW For some reason Palm decided to name this little PDA "Tungsten" - but their isn't an ounce of Tungsten in it. Well, its an OK name, but I didn't buy it for the name, I bought it due to an unfortunate accident. After four wonderful ...

Pros: Organizing has never been funner; Small, Basic and Minimalistic; Good Software; Wi-Fi/Blue tooth Ability
Cons: Occasional Freezing; Small Memory space for Songs/Videos; One game included; Protection of screen costly

I have always been amazed by PDAs and numerous usages of them. I watched in awe as a friend whipped out his PDA and entered in schedules for important exam dates and other notes to remind him later on, while I was scribbling down illegible scratch in my ...

Pros: Great included software, excellent battery life, good starter PDA
Cons: No replaceable battery, poor choice of included cover

I've never owned a PDA before, but wanted one for a long time. It seems the older I get the more I'm expected to remember and keep track of, yet the shorter my memory gets. Ugh. What is one to do? Why talk the hubby into buying a PDA, of course. ...

Pros: Easy to use, affordable, expandable, versatile
Cons: uses unique connector (not compatible with universal chargers), no cradle

The Tungsten E2 is worth more than it's price when you consider the functionality of what this handheld can do for you. I've owned many Palms in the past (Palm III, VII, Vx, Palm m100, m130, M515, T2, and the E2. Each Palm served its purpose and as ...

Pros: great color screen, smart look, very versatile
Cons: Reported short battery life expectancy but .. so far so good

I am no computer wiz, nor am I some business mogul that needs to be in ten places at one time. So PDA was not a necessity in my life, although I have found over the last few years that it does come in handy and has lots of bonuses. My first PDA was a ...

Pros: Does so much. Great application support. Graffiti is for me. Battery.
Cons: Short warranty. File Sync.

So I was up a few dollars in my pocket, and was wondering. What could I buy that would improve the way I live? I looked around. New portable Media Player? Some good applications for my PC? An upgrade to my system? Well, I thought about all of those ...

Pros: Small and light, somewhat powerful features.
Cons: My speaker in the unit failed. Doesn't come with wireless internet.

I have owned many many pocket devices over the years, some were better than others, this one falls somewhere in between. The NEC Mobilepro, with it's large keyboard that was lovely to type on, entering information was a breeze. It's not all that great ...

Pros: Great screen, color, versatility, size, speed, look.
Cons: Very poor technical quality, very short warranty (90 days).

Fine, I'm open to the possibility that I received two lemons in a row. My first E2 was a replacement for my 5 year old work horse Palm Vx. Love that old pilot and it served me well. I decided to replace it with the Tungsten E2 since it was blue tooth ...

Pros: Nice looking, beautiful bright screen
Cons: Software not as intuitive as Windows on PC. Calibration issue (don't buy it used!)

This review is mainly intended to discuss about the recalibration issue with the Tungsten E2. The screen went off calibration and impossible to recalibrate with the pen, there fore it was impossible to use the screen in any way. If you are not a home ...

Pros: Screen is brighter
Cons: 7 hours trying to get it to sync, the WiFi card,fooling with the Bluetooth.

Palm is no longer the leader in easy to use PDAs. I love my Tungsten E. Its simple. It does what I want it to do - keep me organized. I bought it after I returned the "paper weight" called the T5 So I bought the E2 thinking it can only get better. ...

Pros: Similar to 3C. Brighter screen, great detail. Blue-tooth is handy.
Cons: Unreliable. A problem with the touch screen technology. I'm quite disappointed in them.

I'm somewhat grateful to the sales at Best Buy clerk who strongly suggested the extended warranty. In fairness, Best has been very tolerant of me, every time I return, grumbling about the latest problem with my Tungsten. I shouldn't blame them for my ...

Pros: Reliable and versatile.
Cons: Search function limited to single page

This is my first Palm handheld, after years of hearing the acolytes talking up the company and product. I purchased it mainly to handle about 350 contacts and prospecting planning -- setting up times to call, follow up, etc. This worked fine, except for ...
