"It Was Love Until....."
Pros: Ease of use, color display, bluetooth connectivity
Cons: Screen cracked within one month of ownership
Summary: This is my third Palm handheld, replacing my beloved Vx (in IBM black-clad form), which in turn replaced my original IIIe. And out of the box I loved the color display and bluetooth connectivity (after years of fighting to keep the Vx talking to my Macs at home as well as my work-issued PCs). There were however minor disappointments - although the unit was sleek in it's brushed chrome cladding it was fatter and somehow clumsier feeling than the preceding Vx, the buttons were less responsive, and the included protective flip cover was an absolute joke.
It's truely disheartening to find that despite the use of a Proporta aluminum-reinforced protective case, without any kind of banging or dropping, the screen has developed a major crack after only one month of use. Investigation indicates that the solid-looking case flexes placing stress upon the screen which caused it to crack.
Although I hope this crack is a one-off fluke kind of thing, I see at least one other complaint from a reviewer on this site about the same type of problem. Noting that there's also a complaint or two on a couple of the Palm user message boards, I have sort of a bad feeling.Updated
Forgot to note in my original review that for users of earlier Palm handheld devices, the switch to Graffiti 2 is somewhat of a hassle, even after a month of use. Considering the brains and capacity of the device, I'm a bit disappointed not to be offered a "original Graffiti" compatibility mode.

2nd palm product. Fails 10 days after the 90 day warranty again, costs $39.99 to fix it through their exchange. Not the first time I have had problems and I'm tired of having to send $40 every 90 days for another junker. Forget Palm, find a better Company becaouse they are in the business of selling garbage.

I loved my E2 until, after about 1 yr of use a switch in the earhone port apparently broke. Now I can't get any sound through the earphones or the rear speaker on any kind of regular basis. And Palm wants to charge me $129 to repair that little thing. That's the last Palm product I buy
