Need Help. Zire 72 SE or Tungsten E2

Archived from groups: alt.comp.sys.palmtops.pilot,comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

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.

Any comments or help would be appriciated.

TIA ~Michael

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.
