Summary: I like it!
Review: I really like the Toshiba e 335, I use it mainly because I travel a lot, and it is easier to carry than my lap top. I wished that you offered a free download that allows you to communicate with ACT 6.0. I thought I was saving money with all the rebates but I had to spend either $70.00 or $ 50.00 on software from Companion Link, or Intellisync. When you purchase any product with a Palm OS system, ACT has a free download that allows you to communicate with them.

That was the only problem I had. Other wise I am really enjoying my Pocket PC.

Summary: slow and washed out
Review: I just bought a Toshiba E335 from compusa the screen is washed out and hard to see outside. I had a viewsonic V35 but I wanted 64meg of ram the V35 was only 299 and played games less choppy then the E335. I thought I was getting a quality product because it was a Toshiba but even though it has a 300mhz processor my old Arm 206mhz was faster.

Summary: Great PDA but lacks two important things
Review: I have used the Toshiba e335 for three weeks now and only have a few complaints. The first is the e335 does not have a Compact Flash expansion slot and secondly, the e335 does not have a battery that can easilly be replaced by the user. As a college student, I will be using this PDA a lot in the next semester at school and having a way to easilly swap out batteries would have been nice. For a basic PocketPC this unit will do everything you need it to do. The 300 Mhz cpu inside seems to run reliably. For the same money that this unit is going for you can get one of the new Dell pocketPCs. I wish I would have known about them before making this purchase. They have a 400 Mhz cpu, a Compact Flash expansion slot in addition to the SD Memory slot and also have a battery that can easilly be replaced by the user. The e335 is a GOOD pda and I am not bad mouthing it. I just wish that Toshiba would have included the additional Compact Flash slot and a battery that the user could replace.

Summary: Sync Connectivity
Review: Even though my experience has been extremely limited with this product I think it will be a 5 star eventually. Make very sure that your computer isnt running Windows NT because this product has USB sync capabilities, but NT wont recognize a USB port. I have spent the last week trying to find some sort of adapter to go from USB to serial. If you try to sync using IRD everytime you will have to do a new partnership every time you sync. This things looks like it will be great but I cant get started using all it's functions yet.

Summary: There are reasons for the LOW price
Review: Don't fall for the $ price.
This pocket PC is bad!

I was having the following problems with my first E335:

1. The screen freezed after first 10 minutes of use
2. It was necessary to turn off the battery switch because the soft reset did not resolve the problem
3. The back of E335 heated up and I could smell plastic burning
4. It worked for 1 hr after reset and recharge to 100% and freezed again.
5. Soft reset did not work and it did not reinitialize after hard reset
6. customer service was rude and suggeted that I was trying to flash the ROM
7. all of these happened before I even try to sync e335 with my computer!

Returned the product to Amazon.com for replacement and was very happy to get a replacement unit within a week. One of the best online customer service, two thumbs up.

The second unit had similar problems:

1. battery lasted 1 hr during continuous usage (freezed one time) after 100% charge
2. similar problem with the first unit, but soft reset could solve the prolem.
3. battery went from 100% to 35% after 8 hrs of inactivity.
4. freezed every 5-6 minites when battery is under 65%
5. poor instructions on making connection with PC, needed to call toshiba tech support to find out how to properly install USB driver; tech support said this is a common problem
6. Had a faulty cradle

Maybe I was just lucky to get two bad devices in two weeks? Or maybe this E335 was just a piece of junk? Asked Amazon.com what to do? Again, Amazon.com provided great customer service and support to a frustrated customer. I was told that the problem is more serious and wide-spread than anticipated. Amazon.com offered a refund. I will for sure use this refund to buy other things on Amazon.com.

Summary: WOW!
Review: this is probably one of the best Pocket PC's I have bought. And this is coming from someone who goes through PDA's like I go through underwear.... lightweight, fast and well made. I would recommend this unit to anyone... Its so slim I can put it in my jeans back pocket and carry it with me. So much easier to transport than the bulkier iPaqs or Dells. GET ONE OF THESE, you wont be sorry.

Summary: Nothing but problems
Review: I've had my E335 for just over one week, and already it has frozen on me twice, where a soft restart would not work. I was forced to do a hard restart loosing all the programs I had installed and the information (contacts, calandars, etc.) I had put on it. After the second time, I took it back and started looking for another brand. This PDA is definately not worth it.

Summary: Toshiba 335 Pocket PC
Review: This is a good PDA that can get the job done. I am computer savy but this is my first PDA. The upside...I am able to utilize my PDA for keeping my calendar straight and my contacts for people that comprise my appointments. The down side of this Toshiba product is the instruction book. It lacks an appendix. When I come up on a function that I don't know how to do, I can't turn to the appendix to show me where to find out about the action. You need to skim the instruction book and then if you don't find what you are looking for...hopefully you stumble upon it by accident, which has happened in a few incidents. I am getting bolder about playing with the PDA and not worrying about erasing or messing up, and therefore I am finding more ways to utilize the PDA. But it does do what I need it to do, there are just more functions that are not clear yet. Still a good recommendation.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: poor choice, don't buy
Review: 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.
