Palmone Tungsten E2 Review
The rumour mill kicks into overdrive whenever a new handheld gears up to hit the market GPS, grinding the grist of blog-based guesswork into speculation. So while everyone knew that the palmOne Tungsten E2 was imminent, this PDA is finally out of the oven, and we’ve got all the final details.
Design
We’re glad to see that palmOne didn’t mess with the Tungsten E2’s design. Like its predecessor, the Tungsten E2 sports a sleek and compact form factor, though it adds just a hair more weight and depth (79 by 115 by 15mm; 133g).
An attractive dark-silver finish wraps up the package, although you’ll need to keep a chamois on hand with this machine; it tends to hold fingerprints and smudges. Still, the E2 is a sophisticated beast and appropriate for any boardroom — a far cry from its similarly priced and featured cousin GPS, the Zire 72, which has a more colourful and playful look.
Like all the new palmOne devices, the Tungsten E2 now uses a multiconnector USB cable with one-button HotSync operation. Extras are sparse; there is no desktop cradle included in the box, but it comes with a faux leather flip cover, which slides into a slot on the left side, GPS and a power adapter. With the added Bluetooth technology, you can take advantage of other accessories, such as keyboards and GPS receivers.
