Ipaq 1910 or Tungsten E?

I am low on funds (no job) so that leaves Ebay for fulfilling my PDA addiction. I have won a Tungsten E and might win a 1910. Assuming I win, which should I keep?

I'd go with the 1910. Much as fewer and fewer apps support PPC2k2, it still has better software support. Also, it doesn't suffer from the problem of most pre-WM2003SE/WM5 iPAQ's, the sub-par, washed-out and/or yellowish screen.

2 hours left on the auction. We'll see. Unfortunately, I have to leave the house before it ends, so I might get outbid at the last moment. :<

Doesn't eBay have auto-bid features? I mean you set a maximal price so your offer will be automatically increased if other bids arrive.

Yes, I just didn't want to be bid up higher than I wanted to pay. I changed my max bid to $100 which is more than I want to pay.

Gotta love the post office. My Tungsten E that I one was shipped out on Monday via 'priority' from Maryland (8 hours away by car!) and its still not here. I could have driven down there and picked it up quicker!

I would encourage you to try out both and see what you prefer. While Menneisyys is correct about the 1910, it is a bit of a slow unit and doesn't have that much memory.

I'd love to try the Tungsten E, but the seller didn't include the charger. I really need to read the listings! I've been driving around to see who has the charger. If I can't find one, I'll just Eba to someone else.

As for the speed of the unit, I have owned MANY different PDAs of various speeds. Since I usually underuse (calender and phone #s) my PDAs, speed has never been an issue.[/u]

That's right. Overclocking the 1910 to 300 MHz (which works flawlessly) is a must.
