E100 is 100% fun
I recently purchased the E100 after owning the E15 and a PV200A. The E15 was a little hard to see and the PV200A, while very reliable, did not have handwritting recognition. I compred the E100 to the Palm, and for the money the features of the Casio are much better. I have had absolutely no problems and utilize it extensively for note taking and contact storing. I am currently on my 4th day of using the same battery. This is a great product with appealing upgrade capability. Recommend to anyone looking to buy full feature PDA.

Good product, poor support
The E-100 is a good product but limited by the terrible support from Casio. None of the support numbers that come with the E-100 give access to a human for ordering purposes. It is impossible to find a modem for this so that one can access the internet. It is impossible to order anything via Casio's 800 numbers, brochures or online site. I have never been so frustrated in trying to spend money to upgrade a product only to be met by resistance by a company that doesn't want my money.I will never buy another Casio product after this experience.

All flash, low practicality
At a cursory, window-shopping level the Casio E-100 shines with its color screen, easy touch pad, and smart initial layout, but once you use it you realize it suffers functionally versus the Palms.

It is too bulky for your pocket or even a jacket. The power switch is awkward to use. The power runs out quickly and needs to be recharged, so if you travel internationally it can't simply be plugged in whereas the Palm uses AAA battries that can be gotten anywhere. Despite being CE based it doesn't sync up with Outlook any better than the Palm. It has much less flexibility with capturing addresses and data which with the Palm can be better customized.

Stay with the Palms, because Amazon will not take it back after 30 days if you don't like it,

Win 2K
My boss and I just upgraded to Windows 2000. During install, his CE device was found and configured automatically. I had to set up my Palm from scratch, which was a pain.

If you are considering going to Win2K soon, I would choose this device over a Palm.

A Great Palm PC
I have just recently purchased The E-100 after long months with the Palm Pilot III. I rate the E-100 WELL above the III. The set up is a snap. I also downloaded MS Active Sync 3.0 which makes the sync both at home (Win 98) and at work (NT) much much easier. I was disappointed in the audio play back. The quality is there, but not the volume. Also the file download is slow. Other than that I am very please with the E-100 and so far, would recomend it to anyone.
