Palm Tungsten E review

Monday 20 October 2003, 2:51 PM

battery life bad!


I've had 2 of these units, returned the first and am getting ready to return the second one. The battery only gives me 1.5 hours of 'on' life. And this is with the screen brightness turned way down. The M-130 lasted 8-10 hours and I expected to get at least 3-4 hours out of this puppy. I'm not even getting half of that! There is a problem here that Palm needs to address. Too bad, nice unit other than that.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
