    This hand held Palm was given to me by my son about a year ago.  It is still working, with no problems encountered.  It is very useful for keeping track of all my doctor appointments.  It is great for storing phone numbers.  Small and compact.  Screen is clear and easy to read.  I find the calculator is very useful.  A great pastime, ...playing the game Hearts.  It is very easy to sync with my computer.  This proovides a good back-up for all the information.  I...

    While searching for a PDA I tried all the demo's. I settled on the Palm Tungsten E. Within days this thing was running my life. Important dates to remember (anniversaries!), important meetings at work, and reoccurring events all are a snap with this gem. It is quick to learn the Palm navigation. My single reservation is that several of the buttons are now (after 18 months use) a little mushy (you have to push down harder than you should to get them to work). I bought at... Read more

    The product does what it is supposed to do... organize your life, hold your applications and etc. PLEASE BE AWARE dont make the same mistake I made. I baught a 4G SD card for the E2, come to find out that the E2 cannot read SD cards over 1G. In essence, get an SD no higher than 1G. If you want more memory, I suggest you get ther T2 which can handle a 4G memory Read more

    This PDA is too cool. I received it for Christmas, and absolutely love it. It has anything and everything you could every want or need in order to help keep you organized. One of the coolest features is the sync cord when you can sync info between the Palm and your personal and/or office computer. That way you only have to type the info in once, and it will transfer it to your other computers at the push of a button. Read more

    I just received my palm a few days ago. Ok actually last night. Just thought that I'd pop in here, the place that I ordered it from (I ordered it new from amazon. I recommend it) and give a short and concise review. First of all, know that I really do like this palm. Once you get past the installing process and get comfortable with it. To any newbies out there, there's a few things that I recommend you doing BEFORE you get your palm. 1. order an expansion card with it,... Read more or see product
