User Submitted Toshiba e335 Pocket PC Reviews (cont...)

Cons - the volume is too loud (I would like a softer volume setting, you get either really loud, loud and mute), a little weak on battery life, the active sync is not very easy to use compared to the hot sync for Palms

This product was my first PocketPC purchase. I had owned a handspring before which did not suit my purposes. I really like the large amount of memory built in and the SD expansion. Overall I think that the PocketPC is a better product than the Palm but there is a steeper learning curve for the PocketPC especially with the active sync. I wish the battery life was better but is usable.

I am pretty satisfied with the product and I would purchase it again for the same price. I do wish though that I had a compact flash expansion slot. The SD is great but you really have to watch what you buy (read the SD card reviews before you buy a particular product) and plus it is more expensive.

Oh and by the way DO NOT purchase the screen protectors from Toshiba, they [aren't very good].

Satan enters the handheld market!!
Stay away from this product, It's EVIL!!!!!

This unit is completely useless. It crashes even with full power while doing a simple Note or Word document. Pictures jpg, gif, or any other format, (Even with installing the companion software for it), look atrocious. It has to be re-synced and given a new name on your computer after each restart with the battery switch. This cannot be relied on in any way shape, or form.

The only good reviews written on it are:
1) Paid for by Toshiba.

2) Written by someone who thinks they know what you did wrong, (It is not you).
3) By someone who wants you to suffer as they have.

Along the lines of always trying to stay positive here are some good things about it:
1) The unit has no issues when powered off.
2) It makes an attractive paperweight.
3) Can be used to pound thumbtacks into the wall.
4) It can be used as a fly swatter.
5) Makes a great Rug-Hockey puck.
6) It's handy dandy as a Windshield Ice Scrapper.

SONY Vs Toshiba
I used to be a die-hard pocket pc fan. My first PDA was Casiopia E200 with Windows CE 2.0 Toshiba e335 is my latest PDA, actually 6th PDA. It's interesting to tell you folks that my 5th PDA is SONY Clie SJ30 color with Palm OS. After using several lines of Pocket PCs - 1 Casio, 3 iPaqs, and now Toshiba. I can now say honestly to all of you that Microsoft has too many bugs. Most of the problems (big and small) Pocket PC users experience is all becuase of problems in Pocket Windows OS it self. It is just not reliable as Palm OS period. You don't have to take my word for it. You can try Palm PDA and Pocket PCs like I did and see for your self, although it can cost you some money. To put things simple, I was getting more work done with the SONY Pda with Palm OS than I ever managed to do with my Pocket PCs (old and recent) Sure, Pocket PC roks in looks and all its multi-media features. I downloaded tons of MP3 and JPG pics into my Toshiba PDA. but Pocekt PC is more of a toy than a work horse like Palms are. It's just hard to get any work done with Pocket PCs. It's just not as efficient and qucik as Palm OS is. Toshiba e335 like other Pocket PCs, suffer from similiar Windows releated problmes. Syn. problem, locks-up, (Microsoft's fault)and screen releated problem, power releated problem (Toshiba's fault) I somewhat regret buying Toshiba e335 as I expectd more from the latest Pocekt PC technology that it would be more like my SONY palm. After just one use of Palm based PDA, I can truly say that Palm has more experience in making PDA os than Microsoft does yet. I wish the next Microsoft pocket windows will be more like Palm combined with powerful MP3 and graphic features.

Stylish and highly functional!
The Toshiba e335 simply put, is highly compact (form-factor should be a decision for mobile owners) and combines the power and versatility of the newer XScale processors. Other comparable PDAs like the Dell Axim5 are great in terms of price and functionality but come closer to looking like some of the new tablet PCs out there (size matters!). No complaints about the software included - I love the MS suite included. All my authored documents i.e. MS Word, Adobe Acrobat work beautifully on this device - it supports editing and so forth as well. The Arcsoft software is decent, having it come bundled with the PDA makes you avoid some of the free buggy programs out there.
