Summary: Perfect for the price
Review: I couldn't help but notice all the complaints about battery life in the reviews here. 24-30 hours while the unit was turned OFF? I don't think so. I've had this unit off the charger for days, and kept a decent charge. Granted, if you leave it on, it drains the battery in several hours, but any backlit PDA does that.Good screen, good features, VERY thin and light, and better input methods and syncing than any Palm. Having the choice of transcriber, block input (i.e., Graffiti), character recognition, and keyboard for different situations is great. Pocket Word and Excel are included, as is Reader (load in a few books - it's great for boring staff meetings or waiting in line at the store). Programs like Notes, Tasks, and Calendar all have better functionality than their Palm counterparts. And these days, you just can't beat the price. Well, that's not true. Yes you can, with Dell's new PDAs. But those things look like bricks, compared to the Toshiba. For me, Toshiba's slim design was very important. Issues include a low expandability (only 1 SD slot) and a relatively slow 300 MHz proc - slow as in it's not 400 Mhz, mind you; it's still plenty fast for everyday use. Plus, it's less stable than the Palm OS. As a comparison, I had to restart my old Palm maybe once or twice in the year that I used it. This Pocket PC, I have to restart about once a week. It's somewhat annoying, but I find it an acceptable trade-off for the better features.

Summary: Very pleased with my Toshiba!
Review: This is my 3rd PDA in one week, and I'm very happy with my decision to return my 2 previous purchases, both Palm's. I started with the Palm M500 thinking since this is my first PDA and I'm not a real "technoid", it should suffice. Wrong! I wasn't happy with the monochrome and I figured for a little more money I could double my memory and get color so I returned it for the 515m. While I was very happy with that product and had easily mastered the graffiti and the "user friendly" applications, I was not totally satisfied until I checked out the Pocket PC's. After much research and looking around, I chose the Toshiba e335, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It has the ability to play mp3's which the palms did not and the color screen is much easier to read than the palm m515. I also prefer the Microsoft format and the ability to chose which writing style I prefer; block recognition, transcriber, letter recognizer or keyboard. It also has a voice recorder which I haven't used yet. All in all this is a great unit and the more I play around with it the more I like it. I haven't had any difficulty synchonizing it and I have activated the Avantgo feature and update daily the channels I have selected to view. With this device and the os, I will not feel the desire, nor the need, to upgrade in the near future. This should satisfy for a very long time.

Summary: Great PC, Don't buy from Amazon
Review: On December 2, 2003 I ordered the Toshiba E335 from Amazon.com because it showed a great price and a 20 dollar mail-in-rebate. I was so excited to find a Pocket PC with 300 MHZ, MS Pocket PC 2003, and 64 MB of ram for under 200 dollars that I purchased one for my dad and one for my brother-in-law as Christmas Gifts. I was certain I would receive my package any day when I received an email from Amazon.com Customer Service saying that they had oversold the pocket pc and I would receive neither of the items I ordered. Needless to say, I am very discouraged.

Summary: Good PDA
Review: 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

Summary: Great As A First PDA
Review: If you're shopping around for your first PDA, the Toshiba E-335 Pocket PC should satisfy. It comes with 64MB of memory with an SD slot for additional storage. The interface is easy to read and understand and bright (but this comes at a cost at draining your battery power). Its very thin and light. Synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or XP to a laptop or desktop PC with the USB is painless and fast. You can even browse the Web with the included Internet Explorer, view PDFs with the included Acrobat Reader, and play MP3s with the included Windows Media Player. My only quibble is that a slight push of the buttons can turn it on without you knowing while its in your pocket, draining the battery, but configuring the power setting to shut off after a minute of idle time should counter this.

Summary: Don't buy it if you use Windows NT
Review: I loved my Toshiba E335. No real problem with battery life and other usual complaints. My only issue is that now I use a NT machine and Toshiba, believe it or not, does not have a serial craddle or any other solution to make it work. So as I can't synch anymore I have to sell this PDA and buy one from Compaq, Sony or Palm...

Summary: Nonononono!
Review: Stay away. The thing has some sort of memory leak in the software. Expect to reset the unit every 5 hours or so or else it slows to a crawl. It doesnt crash, just slows down. I found out Toshiba lied with their specs of this unit. It will not support any SDIO card other than toshiba's bluetooth card. So you cant do any sort of Wifi with this unit. There are so few accessories that you must accept the unit as is. My solution was simple: Return it and get an Ipaq h2215. It lacks the 1 touch recording feature, but it's smaller than my wallet and feels much more sturdy than the 355. It also has the full version of Windows Mobile, rather than the scaled back one in the Toshiba. Toshiba support was awful: They couldnt tell me if the Host adapter cable worked with anything other than a keyboard: And that ended up being true. They tout the USB Host cable as being able to let you connect to printers, etc. All it talks to are mice and keybards. Sick! The Photo software that this 355 comes with is useless. Dont pay more for it. The Ipaq 2215 is about 2 steps up from this unit in price, but there is an equivilant Ipaq, not sure of the model #. MY advice: Get something with "SDIO Now!" drivers that allow you to talk to most SDIO expansion cards out there. Stay away from the low end toshibas. I love the 755 though, that's a real killer machine.

Summary: Constantly Locks up
Review: I bought this model (...), and I had to return it because it kept locking up, glitching, or malfuncioning in one way or another (sometimes the transcriber wouldn't work, sometimes applications wouldn't work, sometimes the scheduler light didn't turn off, sometimes the unit itself wouldn't turn off, etc.) I wound up returning it as defective, and then I bought the exact same model (...). I had the same problems. It wasn't defective, it's just a poor-quality device. Now, after 1 year, It won't even turn on, and I can't get it fixed because the repairs would cost more than the unit. I'm now out $269.00. I miss my pocket pc because I used it all the time. I feel lost without it, but yet, it'll be a long time before I buy another one. I think the technology isn't very advanced yet.

Summary: A Very Good Buy...
Review: I have found that the e335 has been very useful for storing multiple contacts (last count I had over 250!). It is very versitle, in that I can enter and store info. in quite a variety of formats (Word, Excel, Voice Recording, etc.) For anyone who is thinking of purchasing a new PPC, this one is simple, yet durable and low priced.

Summary: Light PDA
Review: Just make it short, I gave this PDA a three stars because it's light and stylish. Two bad things I found about this pda is that no compact flash slot, everything (all the contact lists and phone numbers) will be gone if you don't charge your pda for about 1 week, unless you save that to the SD card first.
