User Submitted Toshiba e355 Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 2003 Reviews (cont...)

Conclusion: I sold this Toshiba PDA and got myself a Palm Tungsten, and now I feel back at home. The color screen is crisp, there are thousands of third party applications, and the OS is simpler to move around.

The Palm Tungsten, on the other hand, comes with windows software for the PC side but there is plenty of Linux software available to sync the PDA to the desktop PC. With Windows CE, there are no such choices.

No regrets!
This was my first PDA purchase and after much soul searching I settled for the Windows Mobile PC platform. I am certain that I made the right choice despite the comments by those who believe that Windows Mobile has a long way to go aginst Palm OS.

The choice fell between Toshiba e355 and iPaq 1935 both selling for $ 199.00. I opted for Toshiba e355 since iPaq was offering a measly 90 day warranty! Granted iPaq 1935 is perhaps more compact and smaller than Toshiba e355 but the performance of Toshiba rocks and I have no regrets. Both my PDA and Windows Mobile 2003 have worked flawlessly and has been very stable till now!

I do not know why everyone is complaining of absence of CF card slot when price differential between CF card and SD card has narrowed considerably. I got a SanDisk 256 Mb SD card for 59.00 after rebates only slightly more expensive compared to comparable CF Cards!

What can I say about Toshiba e355? Performance is impeccable. Very stable and so far reliable. I have added a few software, FlexWallet and ACDSee Mobile and both work flawlessly! I have transferred my address book from Outlook and few other data including several photo images from my desktop using Active Sync and everything is working well.

The only complaint I have is about the non removable battery. However I am fairly certain that in about three years time, I will be upgrading this PDA and I am not overly concerned about the battery replacement issue!

I have no hesitation in recommending Toshiba e355 to those who are looking for a base level PDA but do not intend to carry it in their shirt pockets (iPaq 1935 is more appropriate!)

Have fun using Toshiba e355!

Good value if you have to get a pocket pc
The new version of pocket pc is still hard to use and unstable, but at least it's optimized for Xscale processor. Don't listen to that Chinese guy; the e355 is a much better pocket pc than the ipaq 19xx's, even when you disregard the huge price difference. The battery is replaceable, the screen as good as ipaq's, and it's much more reliable than ipaq. The buttons are quite comfortable and have the right level of feedback feels, of course you can say Toshiba should improve the overall styling of their picket pc offerings. But this one is feather weight, so it doesn't break your pocket or wallet.

Worth it!
The E355 was just what I needed. It does get a bit lower mark from me because it doesn't have a removable battery. It also has a SD slot, not a CF. Like someone else said the price was right though. Mine has worked great, much better than expected.
