Palm Tungsten E, Toronto buyers

3 questions


1. Has anyone here with a Palm Tungsten E, succesfully used the 1GB SD cards? Thats like 200 mp3s on one disk, more than enough at a time.

2. Any recent Palm Tungsten buyers in Toronto, Canada? Where did you buy it and for how much? I need to replace mine

3. Are there any other mp3 players for the palmOS other than realone. Its pretty inconsistent when it comes to playing songs in a playlist. Half the time the unit will go off after the 3 minute sleep time, and the other half it will stay on along as there is another song to play, which is what want.

I have one (I'm not canadian). It was the first and last product I bought from Palm. Why?

90 warranty + hardware touchscreen bug on some models = really bad deal

Timeline:
- bought november 2003. With 2 months, I was aligning the screen frequently. Then more and more the screen got misligned. So, with 100-120 days, more or less (right after warranty) the screen got incredible worse. Then it became practically unusable.

The good thing is that I practically don't use the stylus (pen)/touchscreen. I use basically (99.99999999%) to read texts and listen to MP3s. Now, the funny thing is: I'm in college and most people use Palm PDAs, and I know a reasonable number of people that had problems with Palm PDAs exactly for this reason (screen misaligning with time). I know that problems happen, but over and over again is not acceptable. Also is the technical support. Take a look at Amazon and check the reviews about the Tungsten T, for example, just to confirm it........

3- You can set RealOne to "play on background", which is what I do. I set the turn out time i think to 1 minute. I can say realone is enough for me, and also is the 256mb SD card I have. If I want 1,000,000,000,000 musics (which seems too much), I buy an MP3 player........

yeah I know its pretty damn unreliable, and its very low that palm give the 90 day warranty as standard, but overall my unit was better than most, I bought it a few months ago. So I'm just guessing the newer iterations are better.

Its just that my screen broke, and its gonna be like 200 canadian to fix it, I might wanna just add 50 dollars and buy one brand new, unless there is some none palm repair shop that can fix the screen, as I dont really give a F*** about voiding any warranty as thats over.

I would then just save up for the T5
