I just bought a PE off of woot for there $125.00 deal. After my purchase I was looking around ebay and found a Used EE Buy it now for $150 +14 shipping.

I read the ad 4 times to make sure it was an EE not a PE. The guy onlu had 1 feedback so I was skeptical. I bought it and to my surprise it was in fact an EE. A little scratched exterior wise but in all in good working condition.

After spending an hour trying to get it to update to ermine (the Pe worked first shot) using the usb stick. I finally tried it with the sdcard and it worked first try.

I noticed one the PE with ermine there is several options when you hit hold the power button. With the EE there is just power off or Mute. I was looking for the hibernate in the menu. I can only conclude that the EE has sensors that detects when you close it and the PE does not.

I gave the PE to the GF and I kept the EE. I am still on the fence if that was the right decision. I like how small the PE is and I like how Large the EE is. But the EE is to big to carry around.

I tried bringing up trading her, but she likes the PE since it fit in her purse.

Maybe I will wait for another woot To get another PE. I just don't think I can bring myself to selling the EE though. I think I got a real good deal on it.
