Date: 2003-02-24 do NOT buy if you travel -- major conceptual problem here A wonderful little machine if you want to be a slave to always finding a power outlet within 24 hours -- or lose all data!!Imagine a PC which loses ALL data when unplugged. That's what the Toshiba 330 & 335 are. Since all data is stored in RAM, when the battery runs out, all data is lost. The problem is that the battery runs out in 24-30 hours even when TURNED OFF! This is a scenario I don't ever want to experience: arrive in London for the big meeting. Been in airports for 12 hours, tired. Head to hotel. Don't have English adapter plug, so don't plug in. Fall asleep. Wake up 8 hours later. Poof! Your meeting address, notes and contacts are gone. Yeah! What a concept. Perhaps I'm missing something here, but this is one of the worst user-experience flaws I've seen in a long time. Buy an old Palm. You might not have all the widgets, but at least you'll know where you're supposed to be.
Date: 2003-02-20 Great value, fun product! I recently purchased the Toshiba e335 Pocket PC and switched over after more than 5 years as a Palm Pilot user. I'm still getting used to the differences, but overall am very impressed with the Pocket PC capabilities versus the Palm OS. I miss the incredible ease-of-use and bulletproof reliability of the Palm, but so far it is more than compensated for by increased function and flexbility. ... The Toshiba e335 is light and fun and has been very reliable so far. The documentation is weak, and my first day with the unit was one of frustration because I actually tried to follow the directions for sync-ing to my PC, but since I got past that hurdle it's been pretty smooth sailing. The online help system was only marginally helpful in resolving my problem, but the tech support guy at Toshiba was very patient through multiple problems with my laptop PC before finally being able to resolve what turned out to be a Pocket PC documentation error. I am really enjoying the clarity and colors of the Toshiba screen: although it's not quite as good as some of its competitors, the difference is negligible, and hasn't interfered with my enjoyment of the unit.
Date: 2003-02-09 Great Pocke PC & Great Price This is not just a glorified address book & schedule PDA: To call this a PDA is an insult. It is a Pocke PC: a small computer with MS Word Pocket, MS Reader, Windows Media Player, Photograph software, and much more. It is the best Pocket PC for the price on the market today. Color Screen: Great resolution. Memory can be added with a secure digital card: 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, or 256 MB. Compact: Truly a Pocket sized PC, which fits nicely into a shirt pocket. Fast: My Pocket PC is packed full of programs but it is still fast. Great Price: The ... rebate can't be beat. Customer Service: Toshiba Customer service is very friendly and helpful. The bottom line: Toshiba e335 rocks!!!
Date: 2003-02-07 Awsome Power and great organization ability This Pocket PC is the best choice in the world to me. I beleive anyone that buys this will be satisfeid.
Date: 2003-02-03 leonmorris I bought the e335 because of it's appearance, slim size, 300mhz, price and 64 mb. Unfortunately, I found it to be very unreliable. It worked consistently less than 2 days for the 2 weeks that I owned it. I constantly experienced problems with syncing it to my computer. I made 2 calls totalling 3 hours on the phone with Toshiba and they were even at a loss.
