The PDA arrived in good condition and operability. My wife is enjoying it as it helps keep her up on her schedule.
I would use this vendor again.
Long Live the Palm Pilot! December 6, 2009

I was beside myself when I realized that Palm no longer made/sold the handheld Palm Pilot. They now have incorporated some calendar/planner features into their phones. I don't want my phone to be my scheduler: screen too small, too much scrolling around to get where you want to go. I LOVE MY PDA! So I found a refurbished Palm TE from one of Amazon's merchants, Guaranteed Tech, and I couldn't be more pleased. I had some problems downloading the softwear and the owner of the company, Eduardo Vaz, telephoned me from Canada, ON A SUNDAY, and walked me through the process.
The TE works flawlessly, I am back 'in business' again and I couldn't be happier. This PDA is straight forward, no glitz, no difficult learning curve yet some advance features if you choose to use them.

I have owned my Tungsten E since 2004 and recently upgraded to an iPod touch--and I want my Tungsten back! I dislike the touch because it doesn't do some things that my now-obsolete Tungsten does. Most importantly, the Tungsten will connect to a Bluetooth full-size keyboard, which greatly eases writing.
I finally "upgraded" to the touch because after 5 years of sterling service (which includes one battery replacement through a third-party vendor that voided the warranty--battery replacement requires welding, which exceeds my skill set), my Tungsten E's on/off switch is broken and its plug-in charger doesn't work, so I must charge through the USB port. Add to that the obsolete OS and a clearly failing battery, and I decided it was time to upgrade. Big mistake! If I had to do it over again, I'd spend the money on a Tungsten T|X, which has wi-fi capability, or I'd send my existing unit in for repair. I angsted about buying the touch because the lack of a full-size keyboard was a deal-breaker for me, but I finally caved when I discovered the touch has Bluetooth--although alas, no Bluetooth keyboard yet exists.
I tricked out my Tungsten E with some add-ons to make it do what I wanted it to do. I'm giving three stars for "ease of use" because what I did requires some technical know-how. I downloaded and installed a number of freeware programs. I wanted the unit to do its record-keeping thing (contacts, to-do list), but I also wanted it to play music and videos, and I wanted to read e-books. My unit runs Palm OS v.5.2.1. I downloaded and installed the following updates and patches: Palm Outlook Conduit Updater; Palm Tungsten E SDIO Update; and Palm Desktop 4.1.4. I installed FileProg, which grants me access to the TE's files, so I can see directory structure.
I push music (MP3) and video (MP4) onto a cheap 2GB memory chip with PFB FilePC2PDA. (I have avoided trying any larger-capacity chips because word on the street is that the unit may not read these larger chips.) To play music, I use RealPlayer for PalmOne. I particularly like that I can listen to music while doing something else on the unit. To play video, I use TCPMP 0.72 RC1, which was very difficult to get to work because a crucial component (the audio) is disabled for intellectual property reasons. I had to use some kung-fu to make it work--but it was worth it. The video quality is wonderful. It's perfect for amusing myself while working out at the gym. To read e-books, I use Palm Reader, which came with the unit. To convert TXT files to PDB, I use Easy PDB.
The Tungsten E was/is a good fit for me because I do not really need a cell phone or wi-fi. I really like the ability to use a full-size fold-out keyboard; it's wonderful while traveling. For an easy-to-use stand-alone device, the Tungsten E is perfect for me. My existing unit is on its last legs, but I love it with an undying passion. It did everything I wanted.

Nice restored PDA with excellent communication and follow-up support from seller. My only disappointment is that the battery isn't as robust as I had hoped...but it is more than adquate for a discontinued device.

This vendor is very dependable. I had several questions about the product. The vendor was pro-active, he responded promptly to my emails and was willing to give me good options on other products of interest. The product was is very good condition and in its original packaging. I would return to this vendor in the future for other tech items.
