Electronics : Palm Tungsten E2Rating: - first Palm i ownI was debaiting on Palm Z22/E2/TX as i wouldn't use this item for big files or watching videos/music, I just wanted a powerful organizer. I've had Microsoft windows based mobiles/PDA before and they are so slow and always have memory problems or glitches and won't sync with PC. This palm syncs with my PC brilliantly and after a week of playing with it i'm very happy as it does what I want. My only gripe is that this PDA doesn't appear to complete turn it's self off as it goes into power saving mode, but I like it as it's always ready to use at a moments notice. overall I'm very happy with this PDA even though it was orginally made in 2005 but most people make the mistake of going for a windows based PDA with phones included but if you want a PDA to funciton as an organizer rather than a portable office then this PDA can't be wrong can it. Rating:  - Great while it lastedI have use electronic diaries since the old Sharp IQ's came out. I had my Tungsten E2 about 2 years ago as a present and I thought it was a wonderful product. I used it day in and day out. Diary, addresses, to do, music, pictures the whole lot. I backed up religiously and I would have given this review 5 out of 5. Then, after about 18 months the screen started doing whatever it wanted. I had it repaired (costing about half of the price of a new one) but figured once it was repaired it would be business as usual. Well it wasn't to be. It limped on for another couple of months, sometimes doing what I wanted and sometimes not. It became increasingly frustrating to use and now I have gone back to a filofax. By the looks of these reviews I was lucky it lasted as long as it did. I would say get one, but don't expect longevity from it. Rating: - nice PDA but unreliableI had the Tungsten E and the Tungsten E2. Whilst I like them when they work, they break very easily. Neither one lasted more than two years before I was forced to abandon them. I wouldn't buy palm again (esp. as they have/had a fixed price repair fee that was more than the cost of a new device). Rating: - Does what it says on the tinIf you want an all singing and all dancing PDA ,you will have to pay more for it than the E2 costs.If on the other hand you want to rid yourself of those bits of paper and a diary, that always move from the place you are sure you placed them ,this is for you.It is easy to figure out and after a short space of time you should understand the logical way it is setup.I have had the E2 4hrs, made a few errors ,learned by my mistakes and have at present everything as I want it.It is easy to connect to my laptop and well explained.all in all a competent bit of kit..... Rating:  - Great, but....My first (and second PDA). Very handy little gadget. When it works it works really well. Here's the but: sadly it isn't very reliable. My first packed up after a couple of months - the screen stopped working completely. Amazon changed it - no hassle. Second one worked well for 6 months, then the keyboard key stopped working (annoying but not fatal /k is the shortcut). Now the screen input is very inaccurate, freezes regularly. The screen recalibration hangs for hours - you just have to keep touching the squares. Contact palm support - it is covered as it is under 12 months since I registered it - but Palm are impossible to contact. Email - forget it! Phone - round and round in answerphone circles! Webiste - forget it! I really like my Palm, but it just doesn't work well enough for me to say 'buy one'. When I can afford to I will be looking elsewhere. |
