 Tungsten E2, 2005-09-12
This was an upgrade from an older Palm. Install automatically pickup up data and was operational in minutes. Easier to use than my old Palm. Color screen is easy to read. Rechargeable battery life appears very good (over a week).

 Solid, affordable, useful, 2005-09-12
I bought this to replace an old Handspring Visor Platinum that I used (it is still in use by my wife). I wasn't interested in bells and whistles like multimedia players and I don't need huge storage because that old visor with 8MB of ram was large enough. After looking at all the Palms, the E2 seemed to be the current sweet-spot for the cheap price (maybe $150 USD after rebates) and useful features.
The upsides: After about a month of use, I like it. The screen is really great and very easy on the eyes. The build is solid feeling and the stylus is excellent. The battery life seems good (still wish it just used user replaceable batteries like the Handspring did). The included PIM apps are more than adequate and the fact that I won't lose my data if I forget to recharge it is great. The bluetooth works as advertised, with a bit of finagling, and I have it syncing over BT to Mac OS X addressbook (really great) via isync and everything else to palm desktop (don't like iCal). I've tried the mp3 player and it does, indeed, play mp3's. Hooray. Basically, it does everything I needed and some extra neat tricks too. I especially like the writing notes on the screen (I'm a chemist, so that means I can jot ideas for reactions down when I think of them).
The downsides (or, why 4 stars and not 5): Graffiti 2 takes some getting used to and I still think graffiti 1 was more accurate, if less intuitive. The Mac OS support just isn't as good as it should be (palm desktop just barely works in OS 10.4) and I feel that Palm has been neglecting software ever since palmsource was spun off. That said, I got it to work with some help from the interweb (macosxhints, mostly).

Great improvement over the Tungston E, 2005-09-07
The best feature of the E2 is the improved battery life. Whereas
the old E will exhaust the battery in 4 hours of usage and empty
in a couple of days when not being used, the new E2 stands up to
many hours of continuos use.

I'm a happy camper, 2005-09-05
I resisted upgrading my Sony Clie T615C, which has been at death's door for a while now, because I thought the transfer of data would be a pain between the two makers. Plus, I didn't need all the extras being touted now - MP3 player, voice recorder, on-board camera, etc., and wasn't looking forward to making the buying "decision". I made my decision, though, and am tickled. The color is beautiful, the speed is peppy, and I'm grateful to be joining the 21st century, having just added some songs to my expansion card. P.S. The transfer of data went very smoothly.

Great price, 2005-08-31
Just picked this up and with all the discounts and rebates, it ended up being $150. Only $20 more than the Palm zire 31. Judging from the other reviews should be very pleased.
