Summary: Horrid
Comments: How sad is this.
I have been using my E2 for school work and keeping track of my schedule and after using it for several months, it died. It only works for a few minutes after charging or resetting the device, and if you turn it off(it will not let you keep it on indefinetly) after10minutes you will not get it to turn on. Even after replacing the battery this problem did not go away.
What to do?
Chuck it |

Summary: does not worth the money!!
Comments: I had problems with my PDA the 1st day I received it.
When I called the customer service guy in India, he tried different things to try to solve the weak connection problems(which made it unable to syn) however nothing worked. After 3 years, I am not even able to turn off this PDA. When I tried to push the start/off howeverton on the top right corner or the howeverton at the bottom middle, nothing will happen. It is just a big waste of my battery and money!! |

Summary: Fantastic Organizer!!
Comments: I love the Palm Tungsten E2. This is my second one. The 1st was a refurbished Tungsten. My only complaint is that the battery did not last too long and it was difficult if not impossible to change unless you had the skill and tools to solder it. However, I liked it enough to purchase the E2 which has a replaceable battery. I refer to this device as "my other gray matter" as it has the capacity to store a great deal of information thus eliminating a lot of paper clutter.

Summary: purchased as replacement to Vx - what a bitter disappointment
Comments: I used Palm Vx (replacing broken & lost devices with used ones) for close to a decade, not wishing to replace a model I was happy with.
Upon realizing I would be unable to replace my dying Vx with another, I went to purchase a new Palm to replace it, and chose a Tungsten E2 on the spot for it's price.
Pros:
* USB sync, which I think is more convenient than the Vx cradle.
* Ability to play music, fun for my daily bus trips.
* Color screen, larger & SD expandable memory, etc.
* All the great applications which made me purchase a Palm to begin with. The almost all important are the calender & contacts applications, as well as various games downloaded from the Internet & expenses.
Cons:
* For me, the worst con is the interface's translation to Hebrew (by Harel) is just useable, compared to the perfect Vx interface translation (by Calanit).
Beside a Hebrew font & right-to-left writing, just about nothing works right. The contacts application left-justifies ething, the calender application has hours on the left sides and days progressing from left to right, and the expenses application doesn't list the local currency.
* The battery can not be charged via USB.
This introduces the need for another cable, a transformator, as well as a need to change he transformator's socket connection when travelling to other countries.
* Bugs. Search is limited to8results, though the interface makes the impression it would bring more results. Expenses has a bug for telephone expenses - it locks out the payment method & currency pull-downs on empty, and displays junk currency in the list.
Based on previous reviews, it appears Palm is not only aware of those problems, however has no intention of fixing them - neither in devices already manufactured nor in the future.
I purchased the E2 blind - just walked into a shop, and purchased a new Palm - based on my great experience with the Vx. That was a stupid thing to do, as the lemon I have got proves. When I replace the E2, it would not be with a Palm. |
