Sync is a snap. Just plug it into the cradle. Unlike others I the only time I have had problems having to reset it was when I let the battery run down. You have to be sure and turn it off when it's not plugged in the charger or set it up to turn itself off after a specified period of inactivity.

Toshiba has gained my business. I will be looking a lot stronger at their other products because of the great quality and thought that went into producing this one.

Expensive mistake to purchase Toshiba e335
The Toshiba e335 was my first experience with a PDA/Pocket PC and it has not been a good one. X-ing out of programs takes the programs off the screen but they still run in the background. You have to go to system settings to turn off programs running in background. Lighting throughout screen display was uneven (lighter at bottom than on top). Record button was to easily engaged by accident. Sound quality of built in speaker is awful. Battery longevity is poor even without regular use. I could not get media player to work properly. Since the screen does not have a fold-down protector it can be easily damaged. The provided case affords no protection for the unit. Finally, after only 3 weeks of use, the screen went totally white. Syncing showed that all programs were still there but desktop vanished (screen went white). After telling Toshiba I wanted a new replacement since the unit was only 3 weeks old, they refused and said that the screen was not covered under their "limited warranty". I will have to pay to have the unit repaired after using it 7 or 8 times over 3 weeks. ... Buyers beware of purchasing this troublesome product.

An excellent PDA with just a quirk or two
I got the e335 as an upgrade from a Palm III and have been impressed.

Upgrade needs it immediately met over my old PDA were that Word and Excel are included, synching is much easier than via Palm, there are several choices for input (on-screen keyboard, good handwriting recognition, grafitti, and block recognition), color, greater variety of options for notes (free-form, writing, voice, etc), an SD card drive for expandability, and synching with my windows desktop is much easier.

The great extras that surprised me are having voice-recording capability, playback capability for digital media (windows pocket pc media player) with the low-quality built-in speaker or via headphone jack, rechargeable permanent lithium ion battery with (in my opinion) a good life span, and okay functionality for reviewing photos.

The weaknesses I'd point out: editing what's already written can be tough in handwriting mode, it tends to "freeze" at least once a week (although at least I only lose the unsaved stuff when it does, and it's easy to reset), and it's hard to find a durable case for it. (A major crack from accidentally bashing it in the screen was quite costly for Toshiba to repair, and I have not found a case anywhere that will help prevent another such event.)

Excellent for the money
It takes some time to put every use in place, but an excellent resource. Glad I bought it.

what palm?
This is one of my best buy ever. I actually got it brand new ...about 2 months ago. It has all the tools that I need, word, excel, pocket expense(free download) and solitaire. The ability to add tax and voice data in Word is excellent. I use these two features a lot to jot down notes and important reminders.

The color on this unit is amazing that I can just read the Word or HTML documents off it especially when travelling. It's a lot better than carrying a thick book. I also use it to track down my golf lesson's progress. Pretty handy!

Overall, i am pretty happy with it. I never had any problems with it even with the battery usage(since I charge it everyday). The built-in speaker is very nice although don't breathe too hard when you record your voice. Else, you might sound like George Costanza when he taped his voice(Seinfeld) ;) This unit will stay with me for a long time. May be in 3/4 years, I'll buy another pocket pc but until then, I am one happy camper.
