Compare Royal Vista Handheld to Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld

The Vista is a rudimentary electronic planner that can store up to 12,000 records. I saw it at an Odd Job discount store on Lexington Ave and it was selling for forteen dolas, so I bought it just to see what it was like. Well, doesn't look like I'll throw away my HP iPaq 1910 Pocket PC any time soon. The Vista is cute and really small and weighs only 1.6 oz with its two watch-type batteries (one for backup), but since you need the keyboard or a PC to input data, it's not convenient. The user interface is more complicated than necessary, although it's not hard to figure things out on your own. If you get lost, the 4-point-font user's guide helps. It also comes with PC sync software although I have not tested it since this is not going to be my main PDA. For me it's more a toy. But I can see my dad using it; in fact I'm buying him the version with a stylus and touch-screen for the same low forten dolas. Less

An affordable alternative to other models, the Tungsten E2 handset offers the portability and ease of having your office at your fingertips. Complete with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as Bluetooth technology and e-mailing. The Tungsten E2 can also be used to carry MP3 files or digital photos thanks to its expandable memory and SD card support. The E2 is a great, affordable option for both casual users and hardcore business folks alike. Less
