WHAT A GREAT VALUE!! but...... I could not believe the brightness and sharpness of the screen! Stunning! Battery life -- 1 to 2 weeks, great. Vast amounts of memory for pictures, sound, and an expansion slot for more. Plays MP3s. Extremely fast processor for very snappy response, improved version 5 OS functions now use MS Outlook compliant names: Datebook (now called "Calendar") Phone book -- "Contacts",etc. I had a problem with corruption of one of my data files and received prompt and helpful support from Palm. Free for 1st 90 days, not toll free. No wireless, but you can connect to a cell phone! No "Blue Tooth" (how's that for an idiotic name?) but you can beam! Complaints? If you liked Graffiti you'll HATE Graffiti 2! Very different, you get yo re-learn most of what you KNEW! Cradle?? NO Cradle! and none available to buy! Surprise! Now you've got a teensy power cable separate from a USB type B cable. That sucks! but I guess they had to hold back something. All in all, get this Palm!! incredible value, strong one of palm's newest PDAs is the tungsten E. in my opinion, this palm is the sweet spot in palm's latest releases. for the price, it's an impressive package. pros: - bright, transflective 320x320 display is easy to read even in daylight. - 126-MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM (28MB are available to the user). - MP3 and multimedia support. - small and light at 4.5 by 3.1 by 0.5" and 4.6oz. - strong software bundle - now includes the new Contacts and Calendar applications (with Contacts, you can finally store multiple addresses for each contact) - USB support. - expansion slot supports SD, SDIO, MMC. - impressive value - at this price point, no other PDA brings the complete package the tungsten E has. cons: - no built-in Wi-Fi (although you can use the expansion slot for an add-in). - battery not replaceable. this is a solid PDA and an incredible value. as mentioned above, you can use the expansion slot to install a Wi-Fi add-in so there's a work-around for this limitation. if you MUST have built-in Wi-Fi, consider the tungsten C. another upgrade is the tungsten T3 if you want a bigger, hi-res screen and bluetooth. i hope this helps you in your buying decision. peace. What is your problem Just get it from Best Buy or a or a local electronics store, you'll get a 1 year warrenty, and if it crashes, refund or get a new one. If you are stupid enough to think for ONE second that the used pda that PalmOne sends you will not have problems, the PDA they send you is "USED", by fact, its exactly like your old one! Take my advice, and buy one from your local electronics store. I hope this helps the future buyers of the T|E, and other PDA buyers. |
