Summary: Nice Product, Terrible Support/Warranty
Review: My first experience with hand held after my trusty HP 200LX. The functionality was great and I used it easily and quickly for 3 months. Then the Palm stopped working entirely - wouldn't turn on at all, 15 days after going out of warranty. Cost to repair $125. Palm told me to send it back to Amazon...as I might have better luck there.Most likely the last Palm product I will ever buy...and I'm not bashful about telling my friends my opinion either. If I ever risk another purchase of a Palm product, I will execise it to the nth degree while it is under warranty. By the way, the HP is still working flawlessly.

Summary: Good product
Review: This is just what I need for the $$ I am willing to pay. The color screen is great! The 32 MB memory is plenty, but I still added a 128MB SD card for mp3 and photos. My TE is loaded with softwares, from games to dictionaries to Zagat. I can't live without it and it never disappoints me. Many comment on the poor battery life. I have had it for > 6 months now and don't find that as a problem. I use it everybody at work, and charge it once every 2 or 3 days. Not bad at all. It's actually much better than my cell phone.

Summary: Best Basic PDA
Review: Bought two of these (from Amazon) with the hard case, for my wife & myself. Earlier had 2 Psion 5mx but my wife never liked her Psion as they were too bulky & complex. She loves the palm Pros:
+ Right price
+ Great OS & software bundle
+ Great screen Cons:
- Battery Life & not replaceable
- Crashes Sometime
- Could do with a voice recorder Recomendation: if you buy this PDA, add in the hard case, as my Palm E is still alive and looks new thanks to the case.

Summary: Palm E P.O.S.
Review: I think that Palm needs to be punished for this one. It's essentially unusable as a PDA - which to me implies something you ues AWAY from you desk for productivity. Simply: the battery will run out after maybe one hour of use. Stupid. Worse: you can't replace the battery when it wear out. So, for $200 you get a plug-in, disposable PDA. If that's what you want, well........ I think a quote from another viewer sums up Palms strategy for the E:
"Most of the minor issues with T|E will go away if you spend double and get a T|T3. Overall this is a great Palm at affordable price. Thanks Palm! "

Summary: The best Palm
Review: This palm turned out to be far better than my expectations.
The screen is so bright that I have to use it at minimum contrast. When at maximum, I can use the palm as a flashlight in a dark room. The colors and resolution are amazing. The processor is very fast and what surprized me most is the quality of the multimedia capabilities. When listening MP3 the sound is Really great and very loud. I use it only in the 1st third of the volume. Also you can watch videos with fairly decent quality. (I whatched a full south park episode while waiting at the laundry). Without the SD card the device becomes rather dull, since you can't use the multimedia capabilities. I strongly reccommend to buy SD cards of at least 128 MB. I don't understand why there are other more expensive models, since this palm is all you can ask for a palm.

Summary: Poor quality and poor service
Review: Problems have ranged from very poor battery life to functions "locking". I've had extremely poor service. After less than 6 months my E died completely. With only a 90 day warranty I have no recourse and repair from Palm is $150+. After being an avid Palm user since it's introduction in '95, I am extremely disappointed. I cannot recommend Palm to peers and would not purchase another.

Summary: Works well enough for me.
Review: I have had the Palm Tungsten E for 6 months. I have an expansion card in it. I have several dictionaries and books on the card and have installed databases on the handheld itself. I've downloaded trial software, deleting and undeleting, and have had no problems. I have had to do a soft reset twice. It syncs easily. One complaint so far is that the battery doesn't hold a charge very long. Maybe 2-3 of hours of continuous use. Another is that I don't like making "k's" with grafitti, and grafitti in general can be very annoying when I am writing quickly. I would recommend keeping it in a sturdy hard case. From reading the other reviews, sounds like it can get banged up easily. But this is my first Palm, and I am pleased with it for the price.

Summary: Burned by the 90 day warantee!
Review: I bought a Tungsten E assuming I was getting a "good value." But, after about 5 months, the digitizer failed. With only a 90 day warranty, it would cost me $125 to have Palm fix it. Once fixed, they will only stand behind it for 30 days! If you like to gamble, this could be a nice unit for you. If you would feel bad about throwing away $200, be warned!

Summary: Customer Service Just Horrible
Review: My Palm never worked properly so I had to send it back (on their recommendation) to be refurbished. To make a long story short, they lost it, denied they lost it, and after about a dozen phone calls on my end they finally agreed to send me a new one. I'm still waiting. I could barely understand the service people and when I asked where they were they answered "Bangladesh." They never had a record of any of my previous calls so each time I called I had to tell my story from the begining. I will never buy another product from Palm and urge everyone to stay away from this product. It's not worth it in any way.

Summary: dependable for me
Review: Sorry to hear of the bad experiences that others have had with the Tungsten E. I have had mine since November, so that makes 5 months, and I dont have any problems or regrets. The screen is very clear, the processor is fast, and I appreciate the large memory. I also use it with a 64MB memory stick, and installed the Filez software to manipulate files. I don't particularly like the page up/down hardware on the E. My old M105 worked more cleanly for this function. I also agree that the battery life is not long, but I just figure that this is to be expected given the great display and the faster processor. It recharges quickly and easily for me.
