Pros: Screen is brighter
Cons: 7 hours trying to get it to sync,
the WiFi card,fooling with the Bluetooth.
Summary: Palm is no longer the leader in easy to use PDAs. I love my Tungsten E. Its simple. It does what I want it to do - keep me organized. I bought it after I returned the "paper weight" called the T5 So I bought the E2 thinking it can only get better. ... read more

Pros: Legible, sharp screen, even in bright light; lots of memory available
Cons: My own memory is better than this device, since SEARCH DOES NOT WORK.

Cons: Unreliable. A problem with the touch screen technology. I'm quite disappointed in them.
Summary: I'm somewhat grateful to the sales at Best Buy clerk who strongly suggested the extended warranty. In fairness, Best has been very tolerant of me, every time I return, grumbling about the latest problem with my Tungsten. I shouldn't blame them for my ... read more

Pros: Great included software, excellent battery life, good starter PDA
Cons: No replaceable battery, poor choice of included cover
Summary: 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. ... read more
