Summary: A Pocket PC with everything working right!
Review: (Note: The only difference between the e750 and e755 is that the latter e755 comes with a photo viewer software title on the companion CD. In fact, the machine in the e755 packaging is labeled "e750," so I'll refer to it as e750 in this review.)Featuring a new mobile processor, the most internal memory of any PDA (64MB RAM plus 64MB non-RAM for a total of 128MB), built-in 802.11b wi-fi, the best PDA screen from Toshiba so far. and good battery life, the e750/e755 is close to being perfect. The compact (0.6 inches thin) and attractive form factor is a huge plus, as well. The new Intel processor (PXA255 running at 400Mhz) is without doubt the star of the new line-up. It's an updated version of the first-gen Xscalar processor, which wasn't getting good reviews due to lack of optimization options. The e750/e755 *is* optimized for the new processor, which results in speedy application launches and operations. Nothing gives a Pocket PC user more pleasure than seeing his/her favorite app come up instantly. The e750 also allows you to switch between two speeds, hence you can choose between higher speed or better battery life. Even at the lower speed, PPC apps feel quick and responsive. The LiIon battery is user replaceable, and an optional "extended" battery is available now from Toshiba. What's left to improve for Toshiba is their lackluster customer support. Also, because their PPCs are made by an OEM in Taiwan rather than in their own plants in Japan, the build quality is still a bit lacking, but the e750/e755 seems to be better made than the error-prone e740. Update with more details: The e750 is indeed a joyful PDA! The high price and the lack of a built-in camera aside -- but who really needs the latter, right? -- it really comes close to being a master-of-all-trades device. I haven't tested the wireless features as much as I had hoped, due to the fact there just aren't many free hot spots around these days. But I'll update this review when I get more hands-on experience in this area. In terms of everyday use this is a true workhorse. I'll talk more about the specs below, but the numbers don't really reveal how pleasant using the e750 is. The hundreds of annoyances that plagued the e740, its older cousin, have been fixed. There are far fewer crashes and syncs go more smoothly. At just 6.5 ounces, while not the lightest Pocket PC, you get something very close to a handheld computer, especially when you get the foldable keyboard! The e750 has a total of 128MB of RAM, 32 of which is ROM, 32 is flash-ROM (which means content stored on it won't go away even if the battery is completely dead... think of it as a small hard disk without moving parts), and the rest 64 is true user-accessible RAM. Having a real 64MB to play with is a bliss, especially for someone like me who started out with 16MB on the Casio EM-500 and last saw 46MB on the HP iPaq 1910. The extra 18MB makes a big difference. Now I can play Doom and Quake at the same time! Given the thin form factor of the e750, it still amazes me how it can feature both a Type I/II CompactFlash (CF) slot as well as a Secure Digital (SD) slot. Since wi-fi is already built-in, both can happily be used solely for storage expansion. The highest capacity for SD right now (as of April 2003) is 512MB, but that costs a small fortune. The best value belongs to 256MB cards, and I highly recommend the one from Lexar (see my review there). If you put in a 512MB SD and a 512MB CF, you'll get 1GB of extra storage for under one-hundred-fifty dolrs! The CF slot can probably be used for other peripherals; but the situation is not clear right now as to which CF peripherals will be supported in the e750. The 3.8-inch (measured diagonally) screen is the largest among Pocket PCs on the market today, and the best from Toshiba so far. I personally like the screens on the iPaq 1910 and Viewsonic V35 better, but this screen is more than "good." The resolution is still PPC's standard 240x320, so it would be nice to see someday PPC manufacturers would go higher than that. I'd love a PPC the size of the e750 but with a 4" screen and 320x480 resolution! There are a lot of optional accessories you can get for the e750, including the foldable keyboard and extended battery mentioned above. This is truly an exciting newcomer to the PPC family... one that looks and performs like a winner.

Summary: Almost perfect!
Review: (Note: The only difference between the Toshiba e750 and e755 is that the latter e755 comes with a photo viewer software title on the companion CD. In fact, the machine in the e755 packaging says "e750".) Featuring a new mobile processor, the most internal memory of any PDA, built-in wi-fi, dual CF/SDIO slots, and good battery life, the e750/e755 is close to being perfect.

Summary: Wireless Lan Utility Error
Review: After only a few days use, the Wireless Lan stopped functioning and I recieved an error of "ENUM Interface Failed". I called customer service at Toshiba only to be told that "this is a known problem and a software fix will be available in the future". Well the future can be a LONG, LONG time. From the number of used e755's for sale on E-bay, I don't think I am the only disatisfied customer! It is no wonder that the price is dropping on this model!

Summary: Seems to be good
Review: As my first PDA I've not had too many problems with it. It does seem to have an issue of needing to be "reset" every few days (not a hard reset, just hitting the reset toggle with the pointer device) otherwise some stuff does seem to stop "functioning" particularly the wireless utilities (in my experience). However this appears to be a problem with Pocket PC 2003 rather than Toshiba themselves.

Summary: Toshiba does not support their PDA's properly
Review: Based on the track record from Toshiba on their PDA line, customers can expect to NOT receive support for the many bugs and problems seen in their PDA products. The e740 has too many unresolved bugs to list. The e75X series has been suffering from "enum errors", dead units within days and other problems requiring owners to keep swapping units trying to get one that works. Toshiba's horrible record of support on their PDA line is the reason to avoid this product. They refuse to address the problems on their units and quickly orphan owners of units that are less than a year old. They prefer to make users pay full price to get newer models so they can resolve issues or run the llatest software from Microsoft. Buying a Toshiba PDA should not be considered a long term solution as you are liable to be left with a problematic and unsupported unit in a relatively short amount of time.

Summary: Why the e750/755 doesn't work with 128-bit WEP
Review: I did a little research on a comment made about the wireless networking not working with 128-bit WEP. According to one person here the e750/755 incorporates a Lucent Orinoco Silver wireless card. The reason it doesn't work with 128-bit WEP is simple. The Orinoco Silver version only supports 64-bit WEP, its the Gold version that supports 128-bit WEP. I'm both surprised and disappointed that Toshiba decided to save a few bucks and use a card that doesn't support the highest level of encryption.

Summary: Best so far
Review: I found this handheld device to be one of the best so far. With its new Xscale PXA255 CPU, the speed is amazing (nearly doubled in some tasks) and it also uses about 30% less battery power (1.3V instead of 1.5V for PXA250). The new 3.8" transflective LCD makes it the largest and one of the best screens in the U.S. Market (not including e550G from Toshiba Japan. The reflective LCD screen was one of the major draw-backs for the e740.) To correct viking632, the e750 has 64MB RAM + 32MB NANO RAM + 32MB for the OS. Most of the issues e740 had (1% battery, ActiveSync drop) have been resolved for the e750/755. With the added value of Wireless LAN, USB, (VGA with expansion pack) and removable battery, this is the BEST Pocket PC in the US market right now (Q1 2003). Highly recommend!
