 tungsten palm July 18, 2008
piece of junk. I bought this...returned the first one as it malfunctioned the first month. Now I have the second one 3 months later and out of the return period and it is dead again and I am stuck with it and getting no response.
Worst gift ever July 10, 2008
Last Christmas I received a brand new Tungsten E2 as a present. I mainly just wanted a device to help me stay organized, keep contact info and maybe some pictures in. I used my new Palm about 20 times before it just stopped turning on. I called tech support, who told me to charge it (which I had already done for 2 days!) and to call back in another 2 days. I followed their advice, as well as trying a hard re-set, and called back when it still didn't turn on. In my second call with them, they told me I could send it in and for $149.00 + tax, they would fix it for me!! I can buy a new one for that!
Their customer support is also severely lacking, for several reasons:
1) After 90 days, you have to pay to talk to tech support.
2) I was disconnected 5 times during my initial call with them and had to keep calling back and waiting in the queue. I spent a total of almost an hour and a half calling back and waiting on the phone for a phone call that lasted less than 5 minutes.
I would not recommend this (or any!) Palm products and highly advise anyone considering it NOT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! It is awful!
 It does what is supposed to do - it is not a laptop or a phone July 9, 2008
I enjoyed my E and used it daily for 2 years without exception. Then when the E2 came out ... without some much as a glance at the user manual I bought one. With the brighter screen, the bluetooth keyboard & 1G memory card, I am a very "happy camper". I use it as a business journal, address book, expense report recorder & appointment calender. In addition, I use the media section for product references using both the video & still photos of my products. The entertainment value of the MP3 player is just a peraonal side benefit for me.
Sync-ig with OutLook was great with the E, but has not work as well for me since I use a different email server now. I do miss not being able to do that. With the latest update of Documents To Go I am extremely pleade to be able to bring PDA document with me for client references.
BOTTOM LINE:
1) the larger screen is easier to read than a smartphone. 2) with the portable keyboard it is easier to input & update than a smartphone ... I just can't type with my thumbs. 3) I can reference materials at the same time I am talking on the phone much eaier than a smartphone.
Buyer beware July 7, 2008
No where on the box does it say that this product is not compatible with XP Media Center. Only after not being able to install the software and drilling down into the Palm support site do you find that out. The box simply states it is compatible with "Windows XP" Their support is really lacking.

I've had a Palm 100 since 2001. It is still working, but I knew it would need to be replaced before long. While the 100 lacked many of the luxury features of the E2, it surpassed the E2 I received 7 months ago in ease of use and life span. I was very excited when I saw the color screen. The images are sharp and bright. I found extras that I did not have on the 100. I could put my SD card in the top and view all the pictures on it. Very nice when you can never think to carry pictures with you. However, the pictures are very slow to load. Another treat is that it is slim, came with a nice cover that was easy to move out of the way when I wanted to view it. The other WONDERFUL difference is it's rechargeable. I had to keep a close eye on the 100 because, if your battery ran too low, you lost everything. And, if you didn't change the batteries out quick enough (taking out the old and putting in the new) you would lose all your information again.
When I began using the E2, I noticed that I had to touch the stylus under the item in order to highlight it. I'm very flexible so I adapted to these dyslexic positions. One area that never quite seemed to work smoothly was synchronizing. Before, my 100 synched beautifully. For the last 7 months, each time I tried to synch, I had to load the program first. Then I would end up with doubled-up tasks. It was frustrating to have to go back in and delete all the duplications.
Two days ago, I stopped the car to look up an address. When I returned to my car, I noticed my E2 was in the street. I picked it up and it didn't come on. To make a long story short, I've been upset with myself until I came to see about buying another one. After reading several of the reviews, I knew my Palm had fizzled without any help from me. Many of the issues others had had, I did too. Now I've decided it would not be a wise way for me to spend my money. I'll have to look into other brands. I appreciate all of those who took the time to review the E2. You've helped me make a better decision.
