Yes, the Tungsten E/Zire71&72 have a screen buzz problem. Not sure if Palm has corrected it. According to many people on the palm boards, including http://www.brighthand.com, the buzz is caused by the materials inside being too tightly packed. The processor causes the humm when it does not have enough space to let off its noise w/out toughing a surrounding part. Kind of like a gasonline engine at idle...but VERY annoying! Palm acknowledged the problem but said that it is "normal". If I see on my palm forum sites anything about the E2 having the same problem.... well I won't be upgrading if that is the case. The Tungsten T3/C/E2 don't seem to have the same problem, however.
I suggest you check out Brighthand. Your questions will be most easily answered, good luck. > Nathan Bullock said: > I know I am off topic.
