Palm Tungsten E Handheld Review

I liked the fact that it was light. Knowing I am klutzy, I accessorized with a hard aluminum case and I also use display protectors.

On balance, it has worked very well. It does help me track my contacts and calendar. I also used Pocket Quicken software (extra) to synchronize between the handheld and my quicken software.

My biggest current beef with it is that the battery is not user-replaceable. Now, it doesn’t hold a charge very well. I need to charge it for a couple of hours nearly every day. I keep charges at home at the office and in the car to help with this.

However, I'm wondering if I need to keep it too much longer because the newer cell phones have contacts and calendars. The Motorola Razr's, which I am looking at for an upgrade in a few months, maintain calendar and contact lists. I've seen online that there are available software packages that claim they can syncronize with Microsoft Outlook.

So, it's possible that I will not need to carry an extra device around.
