Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld

My first Tungsten E2 was stolen. After such great fun and a user friendly pda, this is the only replacement choice to even consider. No need to check the others out. This is the one to own.

I had a one just like it and I bought this one as a gift for someone.

It keeps notes, memos, the time, and a calendar well. It has a nice 320x320 screen, and the graphics are good.
It has trouble hot-syncing if the cord is not pressed firmly into the device, and even then sometimes it will hang for hours, if not stopped. The Bluetooth hotsync is about the same. This inability to hotsync at all, sometimes, is the main problem. Everything else works great, I can't ask for more.

I've had my E2 for 2 or 3 years now. I had one warranty exchange unit early on because the speaker failed, but since then everything was fine.....until today. Unit won't turn on. Googled for a solution and discovered an issue and solution that is quite common. Take out the four torx screws from the back of the unit and carefully prise the two halves apart. Disconnect the small plug on the battery lead from the circuit board, wait 10 or 20 seconds and re-connect. My E2 came back to life immeadiately, just the clock to reset. Some users report having to use the reset button to get back to normal operation but this seems to work most times.

I am hooked on the Palm Pilot interact method. I used to prefer the key board, but I eventually accepted the touchscreen and I would never go back.
The is an excellent information platform, buy with confidence.
