Customer Reviews

PalmOne Tungsten E (2008-10-24)
It was recieved in good condition but unable to download any PDA software, IT would have been nice to have ability to download with windows vista, and even nicer to have gotten a user manual or at least be informed of what was and was not included.

Best money spent (2008-09-09)
I bought a used Palm from Amazon Marketplace for school, and I am just pleased with it in every single way. The functions were incredible for this little machine. When everyone else had a backpack full of textbooks and PowerPoint slides, I just carried my Palm in my pocket. I had my textbook in PDF and my PowerPoint slides all stored in my Palm. When people are busy writing down notes in class, I just typed away with my Palm and wireless keyboard. When presentations were given, most presenters had a stack full of note card and printouts of their PPT, I had them again in my palm. The Palm also allowed me to play videos and music from my SD disk. And with all these functions, this PDA has a great battery life. It had certainly made college life much easier. I had my Palm for about three years now. It is still running strong. I rarely, I mean rarely die on me. What else could you ask for?

Was reliable, but now I've lost some faith in it (2008-05-13)
I bought my Palm Tungsten E (used but in excellent shape) over a year ago. It has been working well, although I still have problems getting it to Hot Sync with my Office 2003 applications.

About 6 weeks ago, it froze, then crashed. Once it was working again (after I reloaded all my information--calendar and contacts), I saw that I lost some of the programs. There is no longer a calculator function.

I pressed the reset button, and lost more applications. I am tempted to go back to a Franklin Planner...good old paper and ink!

Palm One Tungsten E Handheld (2008-05-12)
I use this daily for many purposes. I do not use the Bluetooth function, but it is included. not enough memory even with an extra card. Easy to use, and to teach yourself how to use it.

Power Switch Fragile, Can't do Word Search (2008-05-08)
The top power switch on these units is very fragile. It will break with normal everyday use. Suggest setting the unit up so that you never have to use this switch to turn the unit on.

Also this unit encounters a software failure when trying to do a word search. However, I decided it wasn't worth the time and effort to return it for this one glitch.

As I already have a substantial data base from a prior unit I had which failed due to the power switch, it would be too much trouble to switch product to a pocket PC. However, if I were starting from scratch I'd definitely get an HP unit.

What I don't understand is if cell phones can be built to be near indestructable, why can't Palm design a unit which is more robust!!!!
