User Submitted Toshiba e335 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)Date: 2003-05-30 Superb value - loaded with features The e335 provides quick scheduling, and finding of just about anything. The Pocket PC operating system links smoothly with most recent Microsoft applications (Excel, Word), and even has readers for Acrobat files, mpg's, Real Video files, and all your photos. Battery life is superb. It's amazing handwriting recognition, while not flawless, can be a real time saver in taking notes at meetings. I bought a 256mb SD card, and have stored about two hours of my favorite mp3's. I don't use the built-in recorder much. It will hold numerous of your favorite websites, and display them fairly accurately. Like all pocket devices, images are sometimes shifted to odd positions. With the ... rebate, it's a great deal. Date: 2003-05-30 Deliver best in least !! I bought one on the memorial day weekend, in as low as $...+Tax. Guys its gotta great features, I am using the SD Slot for my Wireless LAN Card or for GPS card and for adding memory. I download some MP3 and use it as my MP3 Player.Well I always wanted something that gives me functions of PDA,PC,Internet,GPS and Music all in one box and is cheap too.Thumbs-up to Toshiba. Vivek Dixit Date: 2003-05-28 GREAT POCKET PC FOR BEGINNERS! I got this pocket pc for my wife after seeing the amazing deal at Amazon. I read a lot of complaints about power drainage. Well that is an issue with all Pocket PCs, and you can (or should) get an SD card as a backup. I am very impressed with this pocket pc for the couple of weeks that I have been test driving it.... Date: 2003-05-25 Love my e335 I am very happy with my e335. First i bought the palm 130 it was cute. Had it 2 weeks and saw that the zire 71 was coming out so i returnded the palm 130. Then i saw that the toshiba was on sell and with rebates the price could not be beat. I got my E335 for 100.OO with rebates and new charge account here at Amazon.com I love it! its a small computer that does so much. I am so glad i did'nt get the Zire 71 It cant compare to the e335 for a third of the cost. Date: 2003-05-22 I like it a LOT !! Problems are w/ MS PocketPC not e335 This a sweet deal of a PDA! For the price you get a lot. I understand that the battery life creates a problem, but that's the case with all PDAs with this size screen. I have some handy tips to get around that problem! explained later... First I love the fact that its thin, very light, and very classy looking in its buffed metallic casing. A big part of impressing your pals with your latest and greatest technology gadget is how it looks - and Toshiba has done well here! The screen is brilliant, and clear, the buttons are good and over all this PDA has a feel of a next generation gadget! 64 MB is a good amount of space for any user to start with. I have had it for over 2 months and taking ordinary precautions and good care of it, I have had very few problems. Had to do a hard reset only once coz of some bad software I downloaded. I have ordered a cable ... that should connect my Motorola cell phone to give me internet access, and I hope to get some fun out of that experiment! The IE and MSN messenger should come in handy along with things like Mapquest or Google on the road! The 65k colour screen and high resolution of the Toshiba e335 make viewing images and websites such a pleasure! To make your batteries last longer - make sure you end all program and not just close them (click the Home button, then Running, then Stop All) Also make sure that in Setting - System - Power, you have specified to turn off device if not is use for 2 min or so. Otherwise sometime a reminder from outlook will pop up, turn the unit on, and then it never shuts off! Another handy thing I have done is connected the recharger to my sync cradle. (it goes in behind on the base) That way, when I sync it everyday in the morning, I let it sit there until it has recharged. No forgetting to recharge this way! MS PocketPC is in my opinion still low on the evolution scale ... Yes its buggy, like all pieces of art by MS, but the biggest let down for me was the Pocket Word and Pocket Excel. I work a lot in Excel at the office, but can't even hope to be productive with this, as it doesn't let me make or view graphs! Word docs don't show pictures, and the formatting gets all wacky! So thumbs down there. The only thing that I can do to get around is make pdfs of my doc files and read them on the Pocket PC on the go ... but then I might as well take a print! I was also surprised that Windows media player doesn't play mpgs, but mp3s play fine and sound great on a stereo headphones! The good features with PocketPC that make this a worthy buy are effortless sync with my pc at home and office, Pocket Outlook - easy download of Contacts from my office PC - I didn't have to copy or convert them! Downloading email from my Inbox at work, AvantGo to view webpages offline and MS Reader to download and read books on! Although I must confess I haven't read one on it yet, I fear if I get too engrossed in the book, the battery will die! ;-) Overall a GREAT BUY! Highly recommended!
