The palm comes complete with windows compatible word, powerpoint, excel spreadsheets and acrobat reader (PDF). These are great apps as they are just as easy to use as on your computer. But may I recommend a folding keyboard for the palm as these are sold separately, but do increase speed by a huge amount. This is specially if you are old fashion and do not fancy typing on slow touch screen input. The palm also includes outlook which ... ...in.

...clear battery indicator on the Palm for reference. The computer to palm cable is standard, but a "dock" for the Palm would have been helpful. The screen is very responsive to the stylus and it is pretty easy to get around the Palm itself.
But I could overlook a few things, after all you can't always get everything you want, especially when it offered so much for less than other palms on the market and the price was £129 at Amazon.co.uk.

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.

Advantages: Small easy to use and not that expensive Disadvantages: Naff case comes with it.
...I nearly bought the Palm Z22, but was put off it because unlike the Palm Tungsten E2, it can not be added to.
The Tungsten E2 come with everything you need, charger with pins that can be changed for different countries, so no travel adapter required for it, stylue, screen protector, software for your PC, and a leather case - well thats the only down side I've found. The case is useless, its one piece of leather (I think), and would not protect anything.

Advantages: Flexible storage, sharp display Disadvantages: Calculator does not funtion correctly, battery is not user replaceable, does not work with Easysync 4.2.1
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 ...
