Summary: I like it, but don't buy it.
Review: It's late August 2004. You shouldn't be considering this PDA, even as a bargain.
It's a great little device. Slim, strong, powerful. Great display. Long battery, by my standards (if I forget where it is for 3 or 4 days, it's still alive when I find it).
If you can get it for 20 bucks, ok, buy it.
Otherwise, the problem is: Toshiba won't support it anymore. By 'not supporting' the e-335, I mean they won't upgrade the OS. You're stuck with what it comes with.
That's neat and all - but Microsoft has had an upgrade out to Windows CE (or whatever they're calling it now) for almost a year. Toshiba told me in an e-mail that, like Compaq iPaq users, or Dell Axim's, or Jornada's....... e-335 won't get an upgrade. Six months between purchase of the device and the new OS and I can't get an upgrade. Not even one I can purchase.
That's annoying. It's 2004. Go shop for a different one.
Not to mention, the thing has an Intel 'X-Scale' processor. It's not a successful standard for a processor and I'm starting to run into compatibility problems.

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: 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.
