I have been using a Tungsten E2 for some 10 years now as my digital memory of all sorts of 'trivia.' Maybe not the most reliable (this is my 5th, with predecessors having had nervous breakdowns or non-responsiveness after being dropped), but cheap to replace. Phooey on smart phones. Besides NSA can't track me (I don't have a mobile phone...).

I don't remember the description very well but I certainly did not know that it was old technology. I have yet to be able to find a way to sync with my Windows 10 and have spent hours researching to try to do so. My main reason for purchasing this item was so that I could use it with my computer. I have yet to use it.

Released on: 04/13/2005 Starting Price range: $375.00 I am a huge Tungsten series type of person. I have owned mostly all the Tungsten series and this is one of my favorites. I also would suggest a Tungsten T3 or T5 for the expanded screen and the faster processor. Don't get me wrong, the Tungsten E2 still has a lot of features like Bluetooth to sync with another Bluetooth device like a pc, laptop, or another PDA. Even though this has a 200 Mhz processor, the applications run very well. The PDA also displays pictures with great clarity, especially if you like to show off your family or pet photos. I hope this helps in your decision making and if it did, please take the time to vote. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. By the way, if the listing did not post the specifications, I will post them below. Thanks again.

I have been using PDAs since the original Palm Pilot (which I still have, and works perfectly!) Although the Windows Mobile based PDAs are more elaborate and powerful, I think their features distract from the real use of a PDA, that being a personal assistant. The Tungsten E2 is the perfect blend of technology, value and usefulness in my opinion. It is very easy to use, and I mean VERY easy. It has a very nice screen and a sleek compact design as well as high-tech features like Bluetooth and a web browser built in. However, the most attractive feature is its price. I was considering to buy one of the Zire models which can be aquired under $100.00, but when I considered the fact that the E2 comes with the Full Version of Documents to Go (which is worth around $60 by itself) the decision was a no brainer, especially since the Achelle's Heel of Palm-based devices is its weak MS Office integration. And I can assure you, with Documents to Go, that is a thing of the past, as it makes seamless and easy to carry your MS Office data with you. One minor gripe, especially for international buying customers: THE TUNGSTEN E2 interface CANNOT be changed into Spanish or any other language. But that's a minor thing (unless you dont know English at all of course). Overall, the Tungsten E2 is the perfect choice for an entry level PDA, and has enough room to stay with you as your mid-level PDA as well thanks to its great mix of value performance and style.Read full review
In my business I measure windows for myself and other decorators for alltypes of blinds and top treatments. I fill out a measure sheet with all the details about the windows and the distances around it. Some of the time it can be hard decifering my writing so i made a spreadsheet which helped. Then the idea came. I wonder if could be put into a PDA. With a little investigating it seemed it should be possible if I where to find one with documents to go. I decided to try to find a used one on ebay rather than to just go out and buy a new one for full retail since this was just an idea so far. Well I bid on a few till I got one for under $100.00. When it came in I got myself familiar with it and installed my spreadsheet and viola it work great. Actually it worked better than I expected be cause I did not not know about the "write 2" software. The fact that I can write in my own handwriting with a stylus and it change it into a typed number or letter is unbelievable. Show I have to say my first experience with a pda has been great and I am also taking advantage of the other feature as a calender and putting all my appointments into it also the calculator come in handy.Read full review
