Customer Reviews: Pleased with entire purchase I was very pleased with the entire purchase process and with the Palm Tungsten itself. Although it is an older technology, it perfectly meets the needs of my teenage granddaughter who wanted something to keep a calendar, read E-books, play a few simple games and listen to Mp3 music. The setup and syncronozation process went flawlessly and the company which supplied the product (GuaranteedTech)also sent some e-mails containing up-to-date information and web links to free downloads etc.
EXTREMELY UNHAPPY I purchases this item in November, it is now January and after 2 weeks at Palm repairs it still does not work!!
I am soo upset, and I do not know who to complain to. Palm repair has all foreign speaking personal who can only read from a preprinted script and cannot understand "please transfer me to someone who speaks english"
I am out lots of money and no way to get a working pda!
I have no idea why I am writing this, no one cares. I will not get a message from someone to offer assistance on how to get one that actually works.
Oh well - happy new year I guess.
Horrid How sad is this.
I've been using my E2 for school work and keeping track of my schedule and after using it for several months, it died. It only works for a few minutes after charging or resetting the device, and if you turn it off(it won't let you keep it on indefinetly) after ten minutes you won't get it to turn on. Even after replacing the battery this problem didn't go away.
What to do?
Chuck it
does not worth the money! I had problems with my PDA the first day I received it.
When I called the customer service guy in India, he tried different things to try to solve the weak connection problems(which made it unable to syn) but nothing worked. After 3 years, I am not even able to turn off this PDA. When I tried to push the start/off button on the top right corner or the button at the bottom middle, nothing will happen. It is just a big waste of my battery and money!
Fantastic Organizer! I love the Palm Tungsten E2. This is my second one. The first was a refurbished Tungsten. My only complaint is that the battery didn't last too long and it was difficult if not impossible to change unless you had the skill and tools to solder it. However, I liked it enough to purchase the E2 which has a replaceable battery. I refer to this device as "my other gray matter" as it has the capacity to store a great deal of information thus eliminating a lot of paper clutter.
