Pocketfactory reviews the Tungsten E2
I think Pocketfactory is the first to review the Tungsten E2. The reviewer was suitably impressed with the E2's bright display. He also liked PalmOne's decision to put 32MB worth of non-volatile memory and the built-on bluetooth.
His gripes are that the E2 still doesn't have Wifi built-in and the paint finish attracts fingerprints just like its predecessor.

The review concludes:
The Tungsten E was originally designed for budget conscious business users and prosumers. During its lifecycle, it has sold nearly 2 million units. PalmOne seems to be taking a queue from Apple’s playbook by adding new features and goosing the price point a bit in order to squeeze out higher margins and cash in on a successful product. I expect the new $249 price tag to fall back down to $199 once demand settles. Still, even at $249, the product offers many key features found on the more expensive Tungsten T5 for nearly half the price.
I came away from this review surprisingly impressed with the product. PalmOne deserves high marks for fixing nearly every complaint levied against the original model, and integrating a pedigree of new functionality.
