Palm Tungsten E2

The Palm Tungsten is a sleek cool looking handheld with a vast array of features that are going to suit the majority of users.

Also provided in the box are several power adaptors which will make in rechargeable almost worldwide. Although the unit comes with Bluetooth there is also an additional cable supplied which will link your Palm to your computer for the transfer of data.

I bought Tungsten E2 with the intention to use it as a portable editor, to input text when I don't have access to my main laptop. It proved to be ideal for that, although I did struggle with the default onscreen keyboard and found the Grafitti feature completely useless. However, I solved that problem by buying a bigger virtual keyboard from a third party and now I'm quite comfortable with writing on it. I don't type as quick as I do on a normal laptop, but I guess there has to be some compromise somewhere. I wouldn't recommend this product to people with poor eyesight. The reason why I say ... more

BACKGROUND ******************** I am a bit of a gadget nerd. I love gadgets. When I see one I don't need, I'll find excuses to need one. I started a new job few months back, and I saw one of my workmate pluggin a PDA to a craddle everyday, until the day I asked him about it.

The palm, the organiser, the device that doesn't let you forget. This pretty much sums up this brilliant organiser. the calender is superb with hand writing recognition for super fast input of events, scedules and even word, powerpoint and excel spreadsheets. What they have managed to do is place all the key features of a mobile office in and taken all the useless garbage out. Howwever I do think they took too much out. "TRULY" MOBILE (WELL ALMOST) But lets start with what is has and whats good. Firstly the appearence the home screen is easily navigateable with clear icons in a grid or list ... more

I spent quite some time researching Palm's because my fiancé wanted one for Christmas. Whilst I may be a bit of a geek I had no experience of these at all. After a few weeks reading and talking to people it seemed that this Tungsten had what I needed, it had a nice clear screen, high resolution 16-bit (64k colour), but the cover was a little pointless, its quite light at 133g and it has 32mb of non volatile memory, which means that if the battery dies you do not lose anything. For protection I think it may be worth investing in a harder cover. I was a little annoyed that I had to either buy a ... more
