In you Palm 07/06/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages A neat unit with lots of applications
Disadvantages None

The Palm Tungsten is a sleek cool looking handheld with a vast array of features that are going to suit the majority of users. It comes with most of these features pre-loaded, but there are more on the provided CD which also contains the software to enable synchronization with your PC or Mac. 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 have found through experience that the cable method ... more

Palm Tungsten E2 - A Decent Choice for Writers 24/02/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages robust, reasonable battery life, easy to use, versatile, good value for money
Disadvantages Grafitti feature not satisfactory, stylus input not satisfactory, limited extra features

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

Tungsten E2, my first PDA 20/04/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages easy to use, long battery life, great screen, read the review
Disadvantages read the review goddammit!

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. When he showed me, I thought that was really cool, and I wanted one. I bloody hardly knew about PDAs!!! Anyway, I searched for the same as his, a Palm Tungsten T3, but it was apparently discontinued... SO I started a painstaking search for the new gadget of my dreams (needs): A PDA. Ta da da... After a few weeks browsing ... more

The Perfectly Organised Device 14/01/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages quick, easy to use, great applications, looks good
Disadvantages scratches easily, hard to type, limited connectivity

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

Good for the Price 05/02/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Price, clear screen,
Disadvantages Tempremental sync sometimes

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

Helpful E2 27/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Very easy to use
Disadvantages can't think of one.

I have had my E2 for about a year and it is still going really well. Having had different types of memory electronic gadgets llike electronic diaries and such, this was exactly what I was waiting for. The PDA feels good in your hand, it feels ergonomically right, it has substance like a quality product. This may sound a strange description, but sometimes it is good to feel something that feels well built and strong, not flimsy and plasticy. I am the type of person who really can't be bothered reading instructions, I am sure there are lots of you out there that feel the same. It is so simple to ... more

Saves me hours of work. 13/03/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Value for money, email, microsoft word programme, bluetooth
Disadvantages Occasionally freezes. Only comes with 30mb of memory

I have had several palms, this has made my life so much easier having the blue tooth technology. I have purchased a 1gb memory card, which was essential to do anything worthwhile with it. I use the palm on a daily basis for: my address book, my memos, as a notepad, for taking minutes at meeting straight into a word document, excel spread sheets and power point. I also use it for the web and email (see below) I also have lots of photographs of the family, save to my memory card. I also have quite a few short videos. There are so many useful programmes you can download as 'extra's' I have a ... more

Great Palm!! 28/05/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Good Value with Excellent Features
Disadvantages Tends to freeze or get fatal errors occassionly

I actually bought this whilst in America and to be honest looking back think I paid a little too much looking at what you can get it for now in the UK. Firstly, I must admit I am no wizard with technology but if I can manage to use this so could most other people, I must admit I was very sceptical at first, having only ever been used to my standard desktop PC. I write lots and lots of documents and this is fantastic for it, you can just load your excel and word documents and literally work on them anywhere and then transport them, you can also get a docking station which is great if you want ... more

Cool kit but be careful of the common problems 16/01/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Versatality, VFM and free software availiable for Palm OS
Disadvantages Known issues and glitches

Personally I like my E2. It works well for the price but it isn't without it's faults....These are the main issues attached to it... -The power button on the top is very feeble and prone to breaking, it's best not to use it ( thankfully this can be worked around via a simple free program which allows one of the front buttons to be used to switch it off) -Video playback is typically poor and glitchy without proper conversion. This isn't an ipod touch, the videos need to be converted for the palm screen but when converted properly (try VemoDe, totally free palm video convertor) they play very ... more

Palm Tungsten E2 24/11/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Stylish, Durable, Easy to use.
Disadvantages No Wifi, Limited SD Card Memory

I bought the E2 about a year ago (2007). Since then I have greatly enjoyed using it. This Palm Pilot comes with Real Player, and all the other great programs that Palm always includes. It is very easy to install new programs from the internet and on the disc that is included in the package. It is very handy when managing one's daily life. I personally use it to manage my money, daily, monthly, and yearly activities, its great if you need to jot something down real quick, It stores all my phone contacts and eMails. Its also great for checking eMail on the go. You can download your eMails from ... more
