My aging Palm Tungsten E has become a bit tired so I have "upgraded" to a Tungsten E2
The T:E2 is almost physically identical to the T:E, the visual changes are the “universal connector†(I do think the mini usb connector of the TE was more universal) that it shares with the T5 and the Lifedrive and that its 3mm fatter (makes it fit the TE case better )
The TE2 has the same non-volatile memory as the T5 and the TREO650, so no worries of loosing data
Bigger battery and the non-volatile memory make the battery time on the E2 amazing, using it as a MP3 player for approx. 6 hours only drained a quarter of the battery (after a week or so of use I have yet to charge it)
The built in Bluetooth works perfectly together with my Sony Ericsson K700i
Documents to go 7 is included in ROM and with the 200mhz CPU I don’t have to wait 30 seconds or more just to open one of my excel spreadsheets (some documents took forever to open on the TE, urghhhhh ).
Some really OLD palm app’s don’t work anymore (old games mostly) and the “blue highlight around selected onscreen buttons†(will post pic) annoys the hell out of me since it looks really FUGLY if you use anything besides the standard collor scheme.
Other than that I love it
