| eguros's Full Review: Palm Tungsten™ E Handheld |
I bought the Tungsten E because it was the only PDA in that price range that could open/create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Being a college student, that was very important to me. It has been great to be able to write papers, and review lecture presentations without waiting in line in the campus computer labs. Having my schedule and to-do list one tap away has been a life-saver as well. One of the best features is size; I can keep it in my hip pocket, and not feel conspicuous or weighed-down.
The biggest problem with the unit has been its lack of the universal PALM connector, present in virtually all other PALM PDA's. Instead, the Tungsten E has a USB port which is basically only for HotSynch-ing, and not for accessories. In addition, one of the most advertised features of the Tungsten E has been its ability to play MP3's. They usually gloss over the fact that it needs a $100 accessory pack to do so.
If you are looking for a PDA to increase your productivity, the Tungsten E's great. If you want a multimedia toy, or want lots of expandability, it's not the best choice.
