Summary
In early September my 2 year old Palm Zire 71 fried itself. One day it was charging, got really hot, and simply stopped working. I knew it was coming. For a couple weeks the battery didn't hold a charge and always felt warm, so when the PDA finally...
During the big Flood of 2005 which struck the isolated area of Central Virginia also know as My Basement, my wife lost a PDA (more specifically a Sony Clie (epinons keeps displaying the wrong charatcer for the accent mark) to the...

Summary
I purchased a Tungsten E2 because I just started back to grad school and I suddenly need somewhere to put a dozen manuals, and get a whole lot more organized. While I would say I was satisfied with the Tungsten, there are some niggles about the design...
Strength
Compact, great software, a huge help to organization!
Weakness
Designed such that you must buy accessories to get full functionality, and other things
Bottom Line
Get his PDA to get organized and enjoy a few added extras, but read my review and be aware of the limitations.
OVERVIEW For some reason Palm decided to name this little PDA "Tungsten" - but their isn't an ounce of Tungsten in it. Well, its an OK name, but I didn't buy it for the name, I bought it due to an unfortunate accident. After four wonderful...
Strength
Nice color screen, low cost, Documents to Go included
Weakness
Poor cradle design, Graffiti 2
Bottom Line
Great for contacts, tasks, appointments, photos and portability of some MS Office documents.
I have always been amazed by PDAs and numerous usages of them. I watched in awe as a friend whipped out his PDA and entered in schedules for important exam dates and other notes to remind him later on, while I was scribbling down illegible scratch in my...
Strength
Organizing has never been funner; Small, Basic and Minimalistic; Good Software; Wi-Fi/Blue tooth Ability
Weakness
Occasional Freezing; Small Memory space for Songs/Videos; One game included; Protection of screen costly
Bottom Line
Excellent for beginning PDA users and features the all the programs needed to be organized. Simple and Minimalistic sums up the overall impression of the Tungsten E2
I've never owned a PDA before, but wanted one for a long time. It seems the older I get the more I'm expected to remember and keep track of, yet the shorter my memory gets. Ugh. What is one to do? Why talk the hubby into buying a PDA, of course...
Strength
Great included software, excellent battery life, good starter PDA
Weakness
No replaceable battery, poor choice of included cover
Bottom Line
Highly recommended as a first PDA or a replacement for an older/outdated unit. Priceless convenience and usability.

Summary
The Tungsten E2 is worth more than it's price when you consider the functionality of what this handheld can do for you. I've owned many Palms in the past (Palm III, VII, Vx, Palm m100, m130, M515, T2, and the E2. Each Palm served its purpose and as...
Strength
Easy to use, affordable, expandable, versatile
Weakness
uses unique connector (not compatible with universal chargers), no cradle
Bottom Line
I would highly recommend this as it's an outstanding handheld for the money and can be used almost anyone with ease.
I am no computer wiz, nor am I some business mogul that needs to be in ten places at one time. So PDA was not a necessity in my life, although I have found over the last few years that it does come in handy and has lots of bonuses. My first PDA was a...
Strength
great color screen, smart look, very versatile
Weakness
Reported short battery life expectancy but .. so far so good
Bottom Line
so far so good, if the battery dies again, I'm not going to be happy!
So I was up a few dollars in my pocket, and was wondering. What could I buy that would improve the way I live? I looked around. New portable Media Player? Some good applications for my PC? An upgrade to my system? Well, I thought about all of those...
Strength
Does so much. Great application support. Graffiti is for me. Battery.
I have owned many many pocket devices over the years, some were better than others, this one falls somewhere in between. The NEC Mobilepro, with it's large keyboard that was lovely to type on, entering information was a breeze. It's not all that great...
Strength
Small and light, somewhat powerful features.
Weakness
My speaker in the unit failed. Doesn't come with wireless internet.
Bottom Line
Think twice about purchasing this particular model since mine seemed like quality control was asleep at the wheel. The computer still works but speaker doesn't work anymore.
