Good Points: Good personal information manager, enter information via virtual keyboard or graffiti alphabet with provided thin stylus. The provided flip cover was preferred over buying a more bulky case for this PDA, thin enough to slip this into my pocket. Good battery life.

Bad Points: This is really a nice PDA, but I'm not recommending this because the battery isn't user replaceable. You need to send the unit to Palm to have it serviced, along with a charge of US$100.

General comments: Palm Tungsten E has a Texas Instruments 126 MHzOMAP311 CPU; Palm OS 5.2.1; nice color display 320 x320, 16-bit (64k color), 32MB, slot for addtional SD memory, protective flip cover.Included software/CD: Memos , Prefs , Tasks , Expense , HotSync , Adresses , Calendar , Contacts , Note Pad , Calculator , Graffiti 2 , Palm Photos , Palm Reader , World clock , Kinoma Player , Telephony/SMS , Kinoma Producer , Handmark MobileDB , Phone Link Update , PowerOne Personal , Handmark PDA Money , Palm VersaMail 2.6 , Handmark Magic Dogs , PowerOne Calculator , RealOne Mobile Player , DataViz Documents To Go , Palm Desktop Software 4.1 , Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm OS

Trash. The Palm Tungsten E is now trash. Totally unreliable. I'm on my 3rd one in 12 months and I'm literally throwing it in the bin. I will NEVER purchase another product from Palm -- and I was a loyal customer with a Palm IIIc I used for years. Two TEs were replaced after fighting with the company (after they deigned to finally talk with me). One replacement I paid nearly the cost of the original machine for -- (should have bought a better device to start with), the second was within the 90 d ...

A long time user of a Palm Vx, but lack of backlight was becoming a problem. I've been using it for two weeks now. I actually bought my Palm Tungsten E in Florida and when I got back found it had alreay been announced here in UK at about £145, I paid slightly less in USA but had to buy a voltage convertor so about the same price overall.

I use the Palm for all diary work and notes. Previous lack of decent Office sogtware meant I had to convert files to Notes. Now I can transfer fil ...
