Tungsten E vs. Tungsten E2

[fwtong]

I was hoping to pick up a PDA this Friday and wanted to know what the major differences were between the Palm Tungsten E and the Tungsten E2, and if the Tungsten E2 was worth the significant extra cost (keep in mind that 1 feature I do not need in the near future is BlueTooth). My main use for the PDA will be as a PIM and to maybe do some light document editing on the go.

I highly recommed getting a pocket pc over a palm. You get so many more features and the pocket pc is much more versatile. The price is also better. I got my hp1940 for only 165 bucks. At that time the E and E2 were still at 200 bucks. My pocketpc beats them both models . Its faster, has more memory and a bit smaller. mine also has a removable battery which is great for me when Im away from the charger. I can just change battery and im up and running again.

edit: you could try and ebay one, they seem pretty cheap there. Once difference i notice is the E2 is a bit faster and has bluetooth.

I had hoped to get a Palm based PDA since I wouldn't need additional software to sync it to my home Mac. But I'll also look into getting a Pocket PC if it's really that much cheaper.
