Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld

Review: Very handy device. Got it as a gift in early January 2006 to replace an old model. Had a recent problem that I thought was a bad on-off switch. Sent a trouble report to the manufacturer describing the problem and got a phone number to call. The...

The Bottom Line: Because of the calibration issue, I can not recommend this item unless new ones had it fixed (did Palm work on it ?)

Review: 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...

Review: This is the first PDA I've ever owned. I never bothered to find out what one was until I noticed the PDA slot in my attache for work. So I looked them up and realized I could definitely use one of these to keep me organized away from the office or...

The Bottom Line: Skip it and go with an upgraded version or a handheld computer. Get the extended warranty if you decide to go with the E2. It's worth the peace of mind.

Review: 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...

Review: The Tungsten E2 looks good on paper, but a few minutes on google will show you that it's unreliable. Mine goes in this 'no reset mode' where it will not turn on, not reset, not even hard reset. The only way to get it back is to unscrew the cover and...

Review: I have just replaced my 18 month old Tungsten E2 with a TX. Why you might ask? Because it just died one day - screen went black and no life can be resuscitated. And Palm is of little help - the repair cost and turnaround time makes it almost...

The Bottom Line: I like everything about it--after all, it was my 4th Palm. But without SEARCH it's worse than useless.

Review: I bought the E2 after owning three previous Palms. As others have said, these were my replacement brain. I love the E2's display and the speed (vs my previous one, a IIIxe). BUT... I need to be able to search and the search function simply does not...

The Bottom Line: If you can get this for about $130, do so and find a third-party search program that will allow full searching with full list of results.

Review: 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...

Review: I've had nothing but trouble with this T2. When Synchronizing with Outlook it occasionally duplicates SOME (not all!!!) appointments and contacts. This is truly irritating, since then I have to clean up Palm as well Outlook duplicates. Now my E2...

The Bottom Line: Good for somewhat tech-savvy people looking for an all-purpose PDA.

Review: The Tungsten E2 is great for: Reading ebooks, keeping checklists, scheduling tasks and appointments, jotting down quick notes, playing games
The Tungsten E2 is acceptable for: Watching videos, listening to music (with headphones), typing...
