- Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld
- I am 100% satisfied with the product. Works well with my Microsoft Office 7 program.
- I find it almost impossible to live w/o a PDA, so when my first E2 (which I got for free as an incentive from an investment company - those were the days!!) died, I purchased a Sony Clie, not knowing they were discontinued. When I lost its charger, too bad - no more parts. After much shopping around, I decided to go for the E2 again - more than I need for my uses, but the old one had been reliable, and I am used to the interface. The only thing I did differently this time is buy a hard case for it, cause I think the demise of the first can be traced to banging around in my handbag unprotected for years. The back "metal" was actually worn off. I heartily recommend the E2.
- Palm Tungsten E2 Handheldthis is my second one. had a tungsten e for 5 years. very happy with it. excellent for anyone looking for a good base model to keep a calendar and an address book. with and sd memory card it is also a great way to carry around "bragging "photos.
- I'm new to using PDA's so I kinda over baught getting the tungsten E2. I basically use the notes, calendar, calc., and memo unctions. The rest of the functions I have no use for at the moment. So as far as what I do with it, everything does exactly what I need it to do. I will someday try uploading geocaching coordinates into it but until I get the ones I have stored into my GPS solved, I will continue to memorize them one by one as I look for them.
- This is my second Palm (with my first being the Palm E). Because I prefer a device separate from a cell phone and music and game devices, the Palm is a wonderful product! I use it to maintain all of my personal and business appointments, to play games, and to listen to music. I may be outdated in terms of not preferring more advanced hand-held devices, but this product is easy to use, easy to carry, fits easily in my purse, and has a reasonably long battery life before needing to be recharged. I am not disappointed with the E2 at all!

- This is my third palm - the last two have been Tungsten E. They meet many of my organizational needs and is small and easy to carry with me. I only wish that the screen lasted longer than 2 years.
- I'm a previous user of tungsten E. When my battery died and I needed to replace the battery or buy a new product, I chose to buy the TX because of the added features. I had problems with the application software for TX virtually from the start. So I returned it for an E2. I have not had a problem from the moment I took it out of the box. I sacrificed some desirable features but it's more important to me that I have a reliable access to my data. I'm now a happy camper.
- It is a great buy as all other prices were much higher. Support was excellent.
- I am a person who works each day with lists and the pda has just helped me be more efficient! The yearly reminder for birthdays and other special events is priceless---so much easier than transferring paper data to yearly calendars!! It is so handy to have everything in one place! VERY easy to use!
- I've owned my Palm Pilot Tungsten E2 for around three years now. I love it! It holds my whole life. I've dropped it a bunch of times. It's gotten wet. It's been very cold and very hot. It's gone dead a few times & I've reset it and lost nothing. (I also back it up on the computer with the hot sync fairly regularly so that if it ever does go completely tilt-whirl, I'll only have lost a few weeks worth of stuff.) The battery lasts a good long time. Of course, I'm not much of a techie & I don't use it for an MP3 player and I never bothered to use the blue tooth stuff as I have nothing else that is blue tooth enabled. But it's got my whole calendar (extensive), all my contacts (extensive & detailed), my diet info, my medical info, my personal data is sealed away under password (which really works - I forgot the password for 4 months & could not get in, no way, no how - aggravating but reassuring). I have games to keep me from getting too bored in waiting rooms with three year old magazines. And I love the task reminders and the memo function. I don't need it to be fancier than a basic life organizer, but for that it works absolutely great and is very, very reliable!

- I've had two and both died within one year
- Both have crashed within one year. The onscreen keyboard won't activate making the unit worthless. If you buy one good luck.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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 have been a palm consumer ever since the oldest clie models and have always had pretty good luck. Buy one device, use it happily until it finally gets old and dies. I don't have unreasonable expectations for "life expectancy" of a device I use many times per day. However, I bought this model about 11 months ago and had problems right from the get-go. Within a month, the touchscreen was losing sensitivity and was not aligned right, meaning you sort of had to guess where to tap to actually pull up a certain thing. Tech support not helpful, but still under warranty so was replaced with a "remanufactured" device. (I won't even talk about how that process left me without a device for about three weeks...) Replacement device actually malfunctioned in EXACTLY the same way within one month. So frustrating to see that palm is manufacturing crap and then not taking responsibility when it fails. Especially because I tried to switch to a HP device - which functioned beautifully - and I couldn't get used to the different platform. What happened to my beloved palms??? So disappointed....
- do NOT buy ... I have had a e2 AND a Palm Lifedrive ... both have had loving care but broke within a year. Customer service will gladly fix it for $150 so unless you plan to spend an adverage of $20 a month for this .. BEWARE and dont buy!!!
- Don't get an E2 - they self destruct
- I had a seven year old m500 whose battery, and replacement battery, bit the dust. I've had Palms since the Palm III days. They've worked just fine, although dropping one and breaking a screen has never been pleasant.
However, the two E2's I've had show all the signs of rotten engineering. The first one ran for 85 days - then, the digitizer went nuts. Horizontal lines drawn across the screen went up, down, sideways, and you name it. The effect was especially notable on the writing area: the "menu" button could not be touched and the "home" button was, effectively, displaced to the very bottom of the screen. Digitizer calibration did not succeed, although, if, in the calibration attempt, one touches points offset from the correct points, a calibration would "succeed" - but the distortion on the touchscreen was obvious.
I called Palm support and they sent me a new one. Here it is, three months later, and the new Palm has started doing the exact same thing.
A search of the web shows hundreds upon hundreds of complaints about digitizer malfunctions on the E2. The old palms didn't do this. I therefore conclude that Palm made a severe design mistake; they get $150 for "repairs" after warranty; the warranty has been shortened up, obviously to get that $150; freeware and costware "solutions" to the problem are cropping up; and the company hasn't publicly recognized the problem.
Don't buy this thing. It's designed bad, from the start. I hate to say this, but I'm never buying a Palm again.

- Died suddenly after 12 days & could not be reset
- This was my third Palm Tungsten E2. My first Palm PDA, a Palm V, lasted five years. My first Tungsten E2 lasted a little over two years. My second one lasted a little less than two years. This one lasted a whoppin' 12 days! All of my Tungsten E2s, even when working, were flaky -- they buzzed, they had to be reset often, their conduits quit working and I could not back them up to my computer. Customer "support," when I tried it years ago, was so useless it was insulting. I'm not even going to try for a refund, I'm just never going to buy a Palm product again. Unfortunately, none of the other PDAs seem very reliable either. Much as I dislike the bulk and inefficiency of paper, I'm going back to it until some wonderful company makes a reliable PDA.
- This is the fourth pda I have owned. I have never had a problem with the others just a silly need to get the latest gadget.
The Tungsten e2 I ordered only worked for a week. I am a hairdresser and I keep all my appointments for the year in this thing. The pda froze up and will not turn off or on. I have done everything possible, reset the thing reinstalled my software etc. I contacted the seller and they told me to send it back in the original package. The package I got had been opened and no plastic on it just a box. OOPs I never thought I would have to send it back and the package is somewhere far far away recycled. I am just so disappointed. Don't know what I will do but in the mean time I transfered all my data from my computer to paper.
- the hardware was out of order after one week of usage,
very bad experience,
will not recommend t any one
-
- I have had 4 Palm tungsten E2 PDAs. I like the compactness of the PDA.
However, the quality of the product has deteroiated and gone downhill.
The screen area for the notepad keeps failing and you cannot write notes after just a short while. This product has poor quality control.
- Ok with the purchase.Thought i would also get the accessories like the USB cable,but.....Still finding the product useful though.It arrived a bit later than i had expected.
- I'd buy from this seller again...
- This seller was very easy to work with and I received everything I needed. I would definitely buy from him again.
- A dependable PDA with the features (calendar, address book, expansion card slot) I need. No phone, no camera, no movies - which I don't want.
On the down side, as a Palm owner for many years, I am annoyed at the need for not infrequent soft resets that seems to have accompanied their development of OS 5.
- I've had two and both died within one year
- Both have crashed within one year. The onscreen keyboard won't activate making the unit worthless. If you buy one good luck.
- Almost great, but dated and the quality is declining
- This was my fourth and fifth Palm. I started with the old Palm Pilot, upgraded to color with the M505, got a Tungsten E (eventually the speaker went), then two E2s. The first E2 the digitizer got off and could not be corrected. But I loved it so much that I got a new one. I loved the new one too until one night it would not turn on (and has not turned on since). It seems the reliability has gone down since they started making them in China.
Positives:
1) Open system (IR port, 3rd party software, memory cards etc.)
2) Audible sound at least as good as an IPOD (see my review of the Ipod Touch I replaced it with)
3) Real one player is more functional on the road than I-tunes
4) Personal productivity software (to do lists, note pads, spreadsheets, databases etc.)
5) Documents to Go syncing with Microsoft Office
Negatives
1) Availability (I did not get a third largely because no one stocked them locally and I was in a hurry)
2) Reliability
3) Dated hardware vs. the new touch screens; also some minor issues like only supports memory cards up to 1 Gigabyte.
4) No vibrating alarm (ahh for the M505 even with its dim screen)
5) Documents to Go screwed up my synchronization
It seems that Palm has given up on its PDAs (they may be on their way out). But even after having two of these die on me, I hope they come back and if they come out with an upgrade, I'll gladly buy it.
- Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld
- I am 100% satisfied with the product. Works well with my Microsoft Office 7 program.
- I'm very satisfied. Nothing less than I expected. I figured, why buy a new one, especially since PDAs are fossils at this point anyway. Also, the desktop recharger and leather case were unexpectedly thrown in for free. Very cool. Thanks.
