User Reviews for Palm Tungsten E2 PDA (200MHz, 32MB, SD/MMC/SDIO Card, Palm OS v5.4)

Reviewed by: ktrenegade

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Nice organizer. Great features. Compact and easy to use.

Weaknesses: Touch screen fails often. Can't handle more than 1GB memory card.

Overall Evaluation: The touch screen broke after 8 months. Replaced whole unit and 2nd E2 touch screen went bad after 4 months!! I babied it but the touch screen still failed!! It starts by activating the line below/above where you touch. It gets twitchy and will jump around where you touch. When you try to re-calibrate the touchscreen, it will keep asking you to endlessly touch the points on the screen over and over. Finally, you try to activate ABC or 123 and all it gives you is "." or "-" symbols. Best Buy no longer carries PDAs, so I received a store credit.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Palm OS

Weaknesses: Units built to fail with heavy use

Overall Evaluation: I'm stuck on palm OS, this is my 15th palm PDA. I now expect units to fail within 1 year, usually last about 8 months (I'm a heavy user.) Until I migrate to smartphone or Windows OS I'll just keep buying these.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Makes an OK paperweight

Weaknesses: Not reliable

Overall Evaluation: After 4 months mine went dead. Palm wanted $75 to look at it. I found a website that instructed me to take it apart and unplug the battery. It wasn't easy but it worked. I have to repeat the process about once a month.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: When first bought this was my answer to all of my desires. It had a crisp display and most of the features that I needed. Touch pad was extremely sensitive and accurate.

Weaknesses: Eight months later, the touch screen malfunctioned. Could not enter data in the lower portion of the screen. No data could be entered except via computer interface. Tech support was NO help.

Overall Evaluation: This really started out to be a great tool. I needed something like this to enter data for work. It really worked flawlessly for about eight months and then the trouble started. Tech support said to do a hard refresh and re center the touch pad. No joy Went back to them and got no response at all. WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER PALM TOOL.
