disappointed
I bought this item with a lot of high hopes. I had used a Compaq Ipaq for about a year and thought this would be an upgrade. After having constant problems with resets and the wireless feature I am about to give up on it. I didn't realize what a poor product this is until after my 30 days to return it so I guess I am stuck with it. I probably should have waited til the new series came out. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Don't let the features fool you.
I purchased this unit for all of the features: compact flash slot and secure digital, WI FI, good amount of memory, etc. all for a reasonable price.However, after using it for only a few days it would not turn off. I had to reset the machine. Then the file explorer would lock up and I could not get it to shut down. I kept this PDA for almost 30 days trying everything I could to keep it running. After having to reset it 8-10 times, losing all of my data each time, I just couldn't stand it anymore. I checked with a friend who had also owned this model Toshiba. He and his boss had the same exact problems. That's three examples that this machine is just unstable. I finally had to return it, very disappointed.

Good Performance.
Read many reviews and since my house is totally 802.11, I decided on the e755. Set up was quite easy. Connecting to my wi-fi was e breeze. The only problem I encountered was a white screen on the second day, which I went to Toshiba website and found instructions on how to reset.
After relaoding all my setting (15-20 mins), I was on the go again.
Another annoyance is the effort it takes to remove the PDA from the cradle. Toshiba should include a release button like the one they have for the CF card.

This product is great on features, which was the reason why I bought it. I started having trouble with connecting it to the internet, with the router being in close viscinity.
I later found out after reading some more reviews that this device's Wi-Fi card only supports 64-bit WEP encryption, and not 12-bit. I kept on having problems even if WEP encryption was disabled.
After atleast 10 hard-resets over a period of 15 days, the battery stopped charging, even when the unit was on the cradle for 2 days in a row. I have always had a hard time with Toshiba's customer service, so I decided not to contact them, and return the PDA back to Amazon.
I think Toshiba has realized some of the problems in this PDA, which is why they have come out with a new line altogether. I would however recommend getting an HP or Dell, because of their customer support.

Not Bad
It's a very nice design machine. Very easy to use. I had some problem with the Widonws mobile 2003. Certain programs are unable to open, like the Home, LAN manager, and I was unable to shut down the machine because when I press the power buttom once, it is supposed to shut down, but it asked me "allign the screen?" and after I alligned it, it went back to the desktop again, and then I pressed the shut down buttom, the allignment thing showed up again, and there was not way to shut this thing down. I had not choice but to erase everything. It has happened twice, and I just bought it a month ago. Everything else is good.
