Palmone E2 looks ok but has some serious faults that make it a questionable buy. The calculator, the most basic of functions has an error that means the percentage key does not work. A simple calculation like 200 + 5% yields a result of 2.05 not the normal answer of 210. In this day and age even the cheapest of calculators can get this right. The battery is still not user replaceable, this kind of limitation is inexcusable. It fails to work with Easysync 4.2.1 so sync to Lotus means an additional outlay to buy new software. There is a noticable delay when moving between applications. Suppot from Palmone is non-existant, they just do not want to know. They appear to condone the poor quality, almost embrace it.

I know what you mean about not be able to line to lotue organiser, it is by far the best organiser out there, not only in loks but useability. When I got my PDA, I had been using Lotus for some time, decided I would swop to Outlook, used it for a while, but have now decided to go with the Palm desktop, which came with the PDA, this seems even though it is basic, to do the job just great, as it does everything the PDA does, and when I sync the two, I don't get data going off into places which I can't find.....
Advantages: good Price, Large Screen, Good Software Bundle, Battery Life Disadvantages: Cant replace battery your self, No Universal port, No bluetooth, Does not support X64
