Rating: Summary: Nice handhelds but pricey! Review: All the features you want in a small package but very pricey. It has BT, infrared, WiFi, SD/CF expansion slots and all the usual features you can expect from a Pocket PC.The PDA looks cool but its built like a brick, no style. Buttons are standard PPC type and its easy to use. Light weight, slim and has good battery life for a color screen PDA. A superb multimedia gadget (best in its class) but its of no use to majority of the population:( I had rather spend my gadget budget on a better cell phone or digital camera or new laptop. And the accessories are all too expensive, for example a simple keyboard costs more than an average CPU! Until they start making a sucessful phone/PDA these PDA's won't be become mass market items. What's the point of carrying around an extra device, charge it, sync it and all the troubles when a simple post-it along with a decent cell phone with reminder/calendar does it? Unless you a really busy executive and your company pays for the purchase price! Anyways back to the Toshiba e755.. its a superb gadget for PPC and gadget freaks. One of the best PPC 2003 released so far, although iPaq 2215 also looks very good for a lower price. Go for the e755 if you really need a handheld with WiFi. Its marvellous peice of engineering and you will love it!
Rating: Summary: Nice, But Beware Review: I really like my 755, fast, awesome screen. But, if you need wireless, you might want to look elsewhere, since these units suffer from the (in)famous "ENUM interface" error, which to date Toshiba has not fixed. It seems not all of the units have this error, but if you get one that does you will need to soft reset a lot, right in the middle of a wireless session.
Rating: Summary: toshiba e755 Review: Used product for 8 weeks before complete failure in the absence of any kind of misuse. Since use began only 4 weeks before end of warranty period, Toshiba offered not help, and no service options,even though I was willing to pay. Was told twice I would be called by Toshiba Customer relations, and wasn't. Pocket PC's not repaired at authorized Toshiba computer service centers in a 20 mile radius. The nature of the failure was a complete system freeze, and failure of both "soft" and "hard" reboots to fix. Screen ultimately blank, with fully charged battery. Truly a $500 paper weight. It is a bitter lesson: do not purchase Toshiba computer products, unless from a retailer that allows no questions asked unconditional return (not too many of those!) What's amazing is this type of failure has been described by reviewers of the previous model, AND the subsequent e805. Toshiba is not ready for prime time, and hasn't been for years. This suggest to me a deep structural problem in its engineering and management.
Rating: Summary: very good... few small problems Review: the product is good and promising for a bussy user
but there are few problems :
1- No good support.
2- It frozes in two occasions, so I have to restart it again, and it is a very good practice to keep it sync everyday with your main computer.
3- it turned off by itself 6 times... that is really bad, because this ment that I have to re-sync with my computer, a process usually takes time and efford, and you wouldn't like it to happen SIX time.
Rating: Summary: Do not listen to all of the one stars Review: This is a great device. I have had it now for about 3 months. I have not had to do one soft reset in 2 months after i learned how to use it. And i had to do one hard reset when i got back from vacation and i drained the battery down to almost nothing.
Rating: Summary: disappointed Review: 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.
