Palm Tungsten E2

My old Palm TX died, and I didn't like it. The browsers are horrible; you can't see anything on the screen, it's too small. I liked the Tungsten E2 I had before it, so I wanted to get another Tungsten… E2...but $579! Yikes! No way! I guess my PDA days are over as I don't like Smartphones either (and they have smaller screens than the TX!), especially given they can't communicate directly with the computer (we can't have people using the phone as a modem for the computer now can we?). Too bad, they are a real convenience, especially being able to create EXEL files, but that price is way too out of line for me.

I am a Palm Pilot user from WAY back when they first came out. I have used them at work and play and have, until now, had no mechanical issues with any of the four different ones I have used (Palm I, Palm… III, Palm IIIc,and M515). The ONLY reason I purchased a Tungsten E2 is because I spilled water on my M515 and it died (ya think). The touch screen on the Tungsten E2 I received has yet to work properly. I touch it in one spot, the pointer clicks somewhere else and you have to be very alert to find it sometimes. Based on others reviews, I have not tried to have it fixed because I have little, if any, patience with faulty mechanical devices. I am currently trying to find something to replace the E2 because it has fallen into the black hole in my bedroom where all things lost go to hide. The only reason I have for "needing" a PDA is for the games. I am retired and I like having specific mind tickling games to entertain myself with and to make sure that what brain cells I have left are still semi-working.
