I'm trying to decide between purchasing a Zire72 Special Edition or the
Tungsten E2.
They are so close in price and features that I'm having a difficult time
deciding.
I've gone over all of the features and know about cameras and non-volital
memory,
but I really just want to know which palm is the better buy, which is best
in the
opinion of this group.
Also, is the Zire a more powerful PDA than the E2?
The processor speed of the Zire is listed as much faster than the e2's, but
since they
are different chipsets I don't know and haven't been able to find out which
is actually
more powerful.

I'm trying to make the same decision (after melting my Palm Vx when
trying to replace the battery -- it still works except for the power
button and the contrast control) and it seems like the Zire 72 has a
handful of features, most of which I'm not really interested in, which
the TE2 doesn't. So I'm still trying to decide.
