User Submitted Toshiba e335 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2003-02-27 The Best POCKET PC for the money! Over the past 10 years I have gone through at least 6 different PDA's. I stick to the Pocket PC format because I believe it is truly superior. My last PDA was a HP Jornada 520 that recently broke beyond repairs. I decided to buy the Toshiba 335e because of the price, size and the new Pocket PC 2002 operating system. This machine really is superb! Very light, in fact, at times too light and slippery. I downloaded PocketTv to watch mpegs and other softwares without any problems. Active sync was no problem. A very good mobile product. I believe better than its big brother the e740 (which I bought for my girlfriend, now she is mad!) Date: 2003-02-25 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. ... 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.
