Ever since I had my E2, I was interested in comparing the two units. I was out with one of my testers at the local burger king’s-and here is what we found out.
The Tungsten T5 has a longer stylus than the E2. My friend uses a replacement stylus, the huge plastic area is there because a head change makes the stylus compatible with the E2:

Styli can be exchanged if one really needs to, but it doesnt really look well:

Mechanically, the units are pretty similar. The T5 is a bit longer, and that is all the difference one can see with the free eye. However, some T5 peripherals like the Brando cradle need a bit of work to make them work on the E2 which has a “fatter” bottom:

Overall, what can I say? The T5 and E2 look very compoatible-but they are definitely not. You may be able to recycle your headphones and your stylus-but thats it. How did you fare?

The T5 is abit longer than TE2 because T5 has the blue status bar, thus making the screen slightly larger.
Hi DK,
thats a good point.
However, the size difference is too big imho(the blue status bar is too thin imho).
