    Toshiba Pocket PC e740

    I have had it about 2 weeks now. It's my 1st PDA so I can only compare it to specs on paper. On the plus side it has both Compact Flash and Secure Digital memory slots without needing to add any sleeves. Built in WiFi 80211b. 64 MB MEM that's expand...able. Faster processor (although I haven't been able to find any software that takes advantage of it yet; you know what they say, better to buy something you can grow into instead of grow out of, so I hope eventually they come out with appropriate software). Removeable battery. Some nice options available like a long life battery and and an expansion pack that let's you hook up a monitor to do presentations etc. On the minus side... they put the infrared lens on the left side of the unit towards the bottom where your hand blocks the beam. Also I'm having trouble finding a PDA-to-serial port cable for it which I think is a fairly common accessory for most other brands. My only major complaint is that ocassionaly the buttons on the front that are shortcuts to apps like "Calendar," "Tasks" etc. just quit working. I read about this in other reviews (after I bought it) and am surprised this flaw is still unchecked by Toshiba. Optimist that I am I'm sure they'll come out with a fix. I did find out that you can get the button functions back quickly by doing a "Soft Reset" (sticking the stylus in the hole) and I haven't lost any data yet. Bottom Line: Would I but it again? Yes Read more Less

    I am totally disappointed in the e740. Battery life is a problem. I had to return the first one and the second one has the same problem. I have since learned that the e740 is being recalled by Toshiba. Would not recommend until the battery problem is... solved. Read more Less
