A brilliant middle of the road choice!

Strengths: Excellent value for money, huge range of apps., intuitive interface, excellent color screen, lightweight and compact.

Weakness: Poor internal speaker (Who cares?? Get headphones.)

The palmOne Tungsten E2 is a superb PDA for those who require a wide range of functions beyond a basic calendar and contacts, but who are not looking for a ‘techie-extravaganza’ that will blow the socks off even the most jaded geeks. Having said that, the E2 is wicked cool and will raise eyebrows out of most technically adept members of the general public, while still leaving the user with an...

Beware... not compatible with all versions of...

Strengths: Ease of use. Need a calendar (with reminders), address book, calculator, task manager, spread sheet, and word processor. It's here! Want to play a few games. It's covered.

Weakness: Compatability issues.

While I LOVE this PDA because it is a simple PIM with a nice look (color screen) and feel (nice small size). But be aware, even though the technical specifications state it is compatible with Windows XP. They will not support it with all versions of Windows XP. I did not find this out until I bought a new computer 33 days after I bought the E2. I could not get the device to work with the new...

Palm Tungsten E2

Strengths: Low price, good display, excellent battery life, comes with Documents to Go 7.

Weakness: Uses the same cheap-looking case as the Tungsten E, no Wi-fi, slows down a bit when running processor-intensive programs.

This unit is ideal for people who want a PalmOne business-oriented handheld, but don't want to pay extra for the Tungsten T5. With this model, PalmOne has taken the Tungsten E, improved the display and processor, and extended the battery life while also adding Bluetooth. The main drawbacks are that PalmOne still uses the same cheap plastic case as the Tungsten E, which smudges easily, and the...

Palm Tungsten E2

Strengths: High resolution screen. Sleak outlook. Affortable. Compare with old model Tungsten E, also support Bluetooth & Connector.

Weakness: Although you can expand memory using SD card, but some popular software only allow to synchronize content into memory which is 32M, sometimes, it's just not enough.

If you want an affortable, sleek PDA, Tungsten E2 is one of the best choices. It also supports PDF, Microsoft Words, Microsoft Excels and capable to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook. Just fatastic. I am also use free Plucker to syncrhonize daily news and read offline. It also supports all kinds of games, mp3,movie players. It's just like a handheld PC. Must buy.

Palm Tungsten E2

Strengths: Sleek design, easy to navigate, fast hotsync, no cradle needed to sync. Lots of great free software on installation CD. Fast.

Weakness: Horrible cover that comes with it -- it doesn't stay shut.

I already had a very old school Palm 3xe that broke so I decided to do a major upgrade. The Palm T E2 is awesome compared to my old black and white palm. It's fast, it has a great color screen. It was easy to install and it comes with a rechargable battery. The biggest disappointment is the cover that comes with it. It's ridiculous how flimsy and useless it is to protecting the Palm's screen. I...

Palm Tungsten E2

Strengths: Speed, weight and memory.

Weakness: So far, absolutely none!

This product is so much faster that my other PDA. The speed of turning over the screens between applications is unbelieveable. When you turn on the power it brings up your date book a week at a glance which is better than having to check the specific days for appointments. I also like the slimness of the unit not to mention the weight. It is very user friendly.

Excellent PDA

Strengths: Speed, design, size

Weakness: None

For the money, this is undoubtedly the best value on the market today. It is very quick, simple to operate and you do not need a degree in advanced geekism to understand how to use it. It is commendably light and small, but does need a separate memory card to use it to its best advantage.

Palm Tungsten E2

Strengths: Color screen, flexiblity, Hot sync

Weakness: speaker

Glad I bought this and saved money that I would have spent on a Treo or Blackberry. Sometimes it is not good to have a "console" PDA because if one thing goes wrong, you will have to do without until it gets fixed

Excellent PDA for this price!

Strengths: Very slim and have a pretty good LCD screen.It is very useful for schedule tasks or try to jot down some quick notes.

Weakness: But it somehow very tricky to use the Grafiti characters.

I advise people that are new to PDAs should choose this one because it is not very complicated to use it.In fact, it can hold a lot of picture in it or musis if you use a SD card.With rebate and discount from staples, the price is just 175...great to go!!

Tungsten E2

Last year’s Tungsten E was a big hit among handheld buyers. For less than $200, the E delivered all of the PalmOne basics (such as the latest operating system, a fast processor, a generous amount of memory, and a rich color screen) all wrapped in a diminutive frame that slipped easily into a pocket. PalmOne has updated that model, raised the price, and christened it the E2 to make a PDA...

Palm Tungsten E Review

A good PDA just got better. It's always a pleasure when we can say that, and the Tungsten E2 gives the Tungsten E just what the doctor ordered for improvements. In fact, as a mid-range PDA selling at a near budget price, the Tungsten E2 is one of the best deals on the market. It has a bright high resolution color display, an expansion slot that's compatible with memory and networking cards, it...
