Toshiba SUCKS! Buy better!
Toshiba doesn't offer any support for products after a newer model is lanched. While everyone else can evolve with technology, you will have to keep buying new units from Toshiba to keep up. No Thanks.
Absolute Bottom Line
I bought this PPC brand new, when it first came out at $350 or thereabouts. It wasn't the cheapest one out there, but I was in a hurry and had liked Toshiba's laptops so I figured- what the heck? I mean, how hard IS it to make a PPC when you've been making laptops for so long. Well- I found out. Toshiba needs to get out of this end of the market (actually, I believe they already have) because this is the absolute worst PPC on the market.

Thinking of buying a used one? Look again
Toshiba is known for their excellent notebook/laptop, but not for their PDA. My first PDA was the Apple Newton and Toshiba e335 is my current and last one (currently looking at the IPAQ 6315/6365).

The worst of all is the poor support from Toshiba itself as the maker of this PDA. The last rumor I heard was, Toshiba ... Read More
poor choice, don't buy
Expensive toy but not useful at all.
If you don't recharge it, you lose your memory??? What kind of a deal is that for $400, as I paid? Do yourself a favor and buy something better.
Good PDA
Got it around my birthday Sept of 2003, Great buy, 2 problems shipping took almost 2 weeks instead of 2 days from NJ to MA, 2nd Battery problems almost 2 months later Toshiba was able to replace but battery problem continued so I gave up. All in all 8 months later and other than battery still loving it. Would buy from seller again. Still the shipping was a bit delayed but it was still a reliable PDA
