I'm now on my second Palm. The first suffered a cracked screen when I fell over with it in my pocket. The repair cost was almost as much as a new machine so .... Fortunately I had backed it all up to my laptop so downloading the data and added programs was a doddle. The new machine just took over from the old one.
Data entry is reasonable straight forward. I use the graffiti hand writing which is pretty easy although this touch screen is slightly less sensitive than the one on my first machine so I have to 'push' a little harder. There are one or two other differences. The on/off switch is less sensitive so switiching on and off is more hit and miss. More annoying is the search facility in Dataviz 'Word'. On my first machine there was a virtual search button. Type in "Japan" and you could search the whole document then "Find Next" and "Find Next" and so on. I can't do this on the Tunsten 2 ... guess I'll just have to read the instructions - how annoying!
That minor point aside I now use the machine as a MP3 player with Real Player and the tracks stored on a SD card, keep holiday snaps on it, play games (occassionally), word process, store contact details and use it as a 'virtual memory' now my real memory is succumbing to the ravages of middle age. I would be lost without it - which reminds me, I'd better do a back-up today. This is also an easy process as is adding new programs and importing data.
I've had one of these for the last 4 years now. It does everything I want and more besides and does it well.
I don't use it to access the internet, although I believe you can, and although it will link to a mobile phone it is a very old tech way of doing so. If you need your organiser to be your phone as well, this isn't the machine for you. If you need a basic, adaptable, easy-to-use, reliable organiser with a few added bells and whistles, this one's good enough.

Amazon Verified Purchase
My first PDA was a Palm Vx a few years ago and I loved the simplicity and usability of it. Last year I decided to upgrade it to an iPaq which I subsequently sold because it was rarely used and the battery life was poor, I checked on Amazon a few weeks ago and spotted the E2 and the main thing that I liked about it was that it uses non-volatile memory i.e. if the battery is depleted you don't lose your data. This, though, is one of many great features of the E2 and for the price I decided it was very good value and bought one. It was only when I started using it I realized just how good the Palm OS and software really is. It is really nice to use and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it. You can even view and edit MS Office files on it so it has most, if not all, if the features that it's more expensive counterparts have but at a fraction of the price. Lastly, the battery life is fantastic. Although I am not a heavy user I have only had to charge it twice in the month that I have owned it. This is a winner. You won't be disappointed,

I bought a Palm Tungsten E2 to replace an earlier Tungsten model that was stolen in a house burglary. I am very pleased with the E2 and especially the added security where the device locks up and encrypts after a chosen period of inactivity (when my earlier model was stolen I was worried about possible security of some of the data within it, despite it being in "Hidden Records").The new model has more functions than the old and was £[...] cheaper. "Documents To Go" is brilliant - it never worked properly on the old model, and I love the Bluetooth connectivity whereby I can select a contact telephone number and the device automatically dials the number via my mobile phone. It essentially increases the phone book of my mobile and I can write and send text messages much easier from my Tungsten than I can on my mobile alone.

Probably dated and overtaken by new age phones but it serves me well and enabled me to transfer years of data from an earlier model. Arrived safely and in working order.
