Digital camera reviews of Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld
Digital camera Review: Awful support for Windows Vista
Summary: 1 Stars
You would think by now that Palm would have figured out that Windows Vista is the software that all of the new Windows based PCs are running now. The best they have for software is a Beta version (yeah, giving you nightmares yet?). The Beta version for Vista and the Tungsten E2 does not support many of the items that the XP compatible software version has AND if you have Vista on one computer and XP on another (ergo - XP on my work laptop and Vista on mhy home computer) it will make your life miserable as it just won't work.
I had to dump the Tungstgen E, find and buy the older Tungsten E handheld and install the old version of the software on both computers in order to have my life back again.
Digital camera Review: BAD PRODUCT / BAD COMPANY
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the third Palm PDA I have owned. I bought the E2 directly from Palm after my previous palm died. It simply quit shortly after the warranty expired. Telephone support is poor and expensive. After research this is a common problem.
My employer pays for PDA's for executives and since I approve of all of these products, I will hereafter not allow any purchase of any Palm product based on falty products, poor customer support and extremely poor customer support.
Digital camera Review: BGF Administrative Assistant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third palm - the last two have been Tungsten E. They meet many of my organizational needs and is small and easy to carry with me. I only wish that the screen lasted longer than 2 years.Digital camera Review: BIG Improvement over my old Handspring Visor!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Good stuff: Color, SD Slot, Bluetooth, sound, software selection is great, view videos/pictures/PDF Files without the need for a laptop or cell phone, Great idea for people who tend to forget things or need to write stuff down so they dont forget (Like me!!!), Rechargeable!!, comes on just by hitting one of the 'function buttons'.
The Bad Stuff: Flip Cover is kinda cheezy but can be taken off. These things tend to show fingerprints real well. Reading PDF's on the tiny screen takes some getting used to. Playing games/videos from memory or SD Card will eat up the battery. The HotSync cable end is a bit fragile so if you're too rough you might snap it off if not careful.
Overall, I'm quite happy with it.
Digital camera Review: Bad battery, bad service, bad warranty
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned two of these in the last two years. Both have died without trauma. The warranty of 90 days is inadequate for a $200 product. It seems their made in china battery suddenly dies leaving one high and dry when you need the palm information the most and the battery will not recharge. It stays totally dead despite recharge. I was able to fix one for now with a new battery from ebay.... for now. I would avoid this product or buy the extended warranty and plan on having it out of service.
