My e755 Experience
1. Shipping - Arrived as promised via UPS. Retail box inside a shipping carton. No visual damages.
2. Packaging & Contents - All good.
3. Out of the box - Purposely did not read the instructions first. Connected the A/C Adapter to the unit and started to use it right away.
4. No problem on making wireless connection to my existing network which consists of wired Ethernet and SMC wireless access point.
5. After the initial successful "dry run", it was time to read the enclosed User's Guide and drill down a bit on various shortcuts and options.
6. I use this unit for surfing the web and reading online emails while I am traveling - the MS ActiveSync takes care of all of them. Did run into some problems after upgrading my OL2000 to OL2002 (included in the Companion CD), so I SystemRestored my PC back to OL2000 and then did the sync again and it worked just fine. (If you are not using Office XP and want to upgrade to OL2002 as suggested, you may want to set a Restore Point before you set up the mobile software on your XP PC.)
7. So far, the unit meets all my expectations - fast, good color, MS Office supports,...! It looks like I'll keep it until the next newer (in technology)/better (in performance) PPC comes out in the next 6 - 12 months :-)
Happy Mobile Computing :-)

Work good but with some problems
The PDA is really good. The most great functions I think are the 3.8" screen and Wi-Fi connection.However, there are some problems of this PDA:
1. Sometimes, the "Home" button will not function well(need to warm reset)
2. Difficult to buy a 3.8" screen overlay
3. The rebate form needs to send 2 times. Two of my friends and I can't find the record on the web, so we send the rebate form to them again and this time, our records appear on the web.

Ok product from a bad company
Like the others, I found this unit to be well designed, although lacking in features compared to similar products from HP, such as the iPAQ H5455 and H5555, although the iPAQs usually cost more than the Toshiba. However, the "what you pay is what you get" concept holds true in this case and the money you saved with the Toshiba, in my opinion, is not worth it. Toshiba has very bad customer service and rarely, if ever, come up with patches and upgrades to their ROM software. After owning 2 different Toshiba PPCs, I switched to an iPAQ and never looked back.

The BEST PocketPc
I have just bought my e755 few days ago and i was thrilled by it.
the e755 was my first ppc. it has the largest display 3.8" with a stylish and sleek design, Plus it comes with the new operating system Windows Mobile 2003, and great softwares in the companion CD which are very useful and make your PPC the best in Presentations ('P')
Highly recommended

I could not find a better value
I searched high and low for the most feature rich PDA with Pocket PC 2003 and integrated 802.11. No question, this is it! Not to mention Amazon's price, there is not a better price on the net!
