4.1 out of 5Works great, no trouble sinking and loading all my current data to the new Palm. Also no problem with document to go software and a holiday calendar addition I got from PalmGear. Only thing is why change what isnt broken? With no cradle and a plug in that to me seems flimsy and could be prone to breaking easily, so what, they are creating less quality to up sales? I dont mind the power plug in and have found the battery to last longer than my Palm5 did. So time will tell with the plug connection, Im just being careful. Love the color screen super sharp and clear. Great deal. Said it was a demo but I couldnt find any marks.
The currently enjoy of Tungsten E2 it's easy of use and although it's a blem, it work like it's brand new. The one setback that I see with this product is that the bluetooth feature is limited. Also, Overstock sent the Palm out right away.
Wonderful product at a great price. Minor scratches on the case, but I can't care less, as they do not interfeer with function and are barely noticable.
I bought this originally for my husband, but actually he isn't using it so I am. I love the size and ease of use. I had trouble installing programs on to this because of my own lack of knowledge, but overall I am quite happy with it. I bought it based off reader reviews and it seemed like it was a middle of the road not too fancy type of product. I am mostly using it for my work as an RN and look up labs, diagnoses, and other information pertaining to healhtcare. It is also very helpful to keep my schedule and calendar updated. Two thumbs up.
I bought this Palm refurbished as a Christmas gift. My dad loves it and it looks good as new!
This Palm is great if you are looking strictly for an organizer with few modern addons. The calendar is fantastic and easy to use. If you are looking for something to surf the web with, take pictures, or do some serious music listening...This is not the item for you.
I finally purchased a Palm Tungsten E2 when my old but trusty (and beloved) Visor "bit the dust." I am adjusting to the new Graffiti style with little complaint. The one thing that I miss the most is the features available in DateBook+. I had come to depend heavily on things such as selecting the amount of time to 'snooze' and the wide variety of calendar views that were available. I'll adjust; not happily, but I'll adjust.
I purchased 2 units in less than 1 year. It is a great business tool, but they damage easily from shock. Purchase the extended warranty. The MFG warranty is only 90-days. Be sure you load and update all your infomation once a week, but for important data do it daily. If you have to return it back for any warranty repairs be advised the data stored inside is wiped out. Learn to use an expanded memory chip as a harddrive to store information. I use a Palm because i don't need a portable computer. I am in and out of my office daily...the Palm goes with me everywhere.
I really enjoy my Palm Tungsten although a users manual would have been nice.It installed easily and works great for my needs. It also has a lot of extra features that are great.
I have had my E2 for 1 month now and I love it so far. It is a great organizational tool, the mp3 player feature is great, and the photo resolution is excellent. I am quite pleased with it.
Pretty decent unit, works well. Saw a new unit at a similar price after buying this one, but a decent price nevertheless.
Great PDA! Upgraded from a very trustworthy Zire 31 for the additional memory but now love many more features and the look. I have friends who bought refurbished E2s and keep have complete failure problems so definitely buy the extra protection plan as I did. I have not had any problems with mine though.
I had one, it died, I needed a new one but wanted the same type. Glad you had it available. Technology isn't the latest and greatest, but it is fine for what I need and it does what I want.
I am a writer with carpal tunnel syndrome. The PDA is the perfect cure for me. I can literarlly type my novel on it. It isn't perfect, but I can use the "pen" and write on the screen in longhand, and it is transfered to typing charcters (the letter forms take a while to get used to, but it's very useful, once you get the hang of it). I also speak & write in both spanish and french, and accents are easier with this even than with my pc. Also, there are simple little games (and a few you can download for free), calander, . . .it's very useful, and not horrificially expensive. I will say that The screen calibration isn't all right, and it doesn't always translate well (from stylus to characters on screen) but in it's defence, I use it CONSTANTLY, probably if you use it only say 30 min a day, and while sitting appropriately at a desk, it will keep working better. But even with it's less than perfect translations, it's terribly useful.
I like the palm pilot, but I didn't realize when I got it that it was refurbished and not new. I expected it to be in better condition. It was scratched, the protective case was cracked, it didn't come in the original box, and it had no manual. Also, I can't get it to sync wirelessly with my computer which is one of the things I really wanted it to do!
It has such a small memory and even with a memory card added, it won't do everything it is supposed to do. My old Palm IIIc actually works better.
I bought my E2 several years ago after my last PDA broke. My search criteria was based on expandability to use with various software and hardware. Specifically I wanted a GPS compatible PDA and Palm makes a kit, complete with software and hardware, that uses Tom Tom. I found an "open box" GPS kit for an additional $105 online (price may vary). It has worked flawlessly with the GPS and as a pocket-friendly PDA. Only glitch I know of is that you should close out of the solitaire game and return to the main menu before powering down as I found the PDA sometimes won't boot back up properly, requiring a reset. A big plus over my last PDA is that the data isn't lost if you let the battery die, so no need to reload off your PC.
I am very happy with my purchase. I had some problems with the first hotsync, because I had a previous version loaded on my computer. However I called Palm and they walked me through backup, uninstall and reinstall of new software. Once I did that everything was perfect. This was my first purchase from Overstock.com and I would recommend shopping with them first.
The product I recieved was great, however the software that was supposed to allow the transfer of Word and Excel documents is no where to be found. Other than that one thing, this was a great deal.
Had a T3 where the battery was failing. Was able to plug the E2 into my PC and then downloaded everything smoothly...no issues (since software was already up to date). This was a really smooth transfer of data...glad I did it. Screen works well, easy to enter data. 2-part sync/recharger is something I'm getting used to....
