Total waste of money - avoid it like the plague! [Posted on 2003-07-02]
Constant ActiveSync drops, random hard resets, unreadable white text on the Today screen, are only a few of the issues owners of this PDA have to deal with every day... Do yourself a favor, and go get an iPaq or a Dell Axim!
Toshiba product support is poor [Posted on 2003-07-02]
Toshiba's legacy of poor product support continues with this product. With a year invested in ignoring the problems of the e740, Toshiba has failed to support it as a product and is likely to do the same with the e750.

Purchasing the e750 is my first venture into the PDA world. Dropping my PAA (personal analog assistant, AKA my little black date book) was long overdue. I bought the unit 3 weeks ago...and the price has dropped since then. The newer units come with the new 2003 operating system so I'd reccomend buying directly from Toshiba or make sure you're getting the newest product. Our local retailers still have the older e750s on their shelves. Did a lot of research prior to my purchase. This unit runs faster and more efficiently than the equivalent IPAQ...plus has built in CF and SD slots without having to add a "sleeve". Built in wi-fi was a must for me. Initially I couldn't get it to work with my home Linksys network, and utilized Toshiba's on-line (email) support staff. They answered my messages amazingly fast i.e. within one day and sometimes within an hour our two, even late at night (Pacific Std. Time). It turned out the e750 was fine...I had to upgrade my Linksys Firmware, a very simple process. Once that was accomplished, the unit accessed the network without any further effort. There is a side button which accesses the voice recorder. Initially this is set to wake the system up...which is a real pain due to accidental activation. Luckily this function is easily disabled. Toshiba has a custom menuing system for organizing your programs. It's intuitive and I find it very useful. The internal 32 Mbytes of NAND (nonvolatile memory) is very handy and makes for a simple way to backup the system. I do this every couple of days, and once per week copy the back up file to my PC just in case... Downloaded programs are running as advertised: quickly and without any hangups. Have not had to either soft or hard reset the unit a single time due to system problems. Be aware: if the the battery is allowed to completely discharge, you'll lose all information you haven't backed up. In addition, the unit comes with IA Presenter software for doing Powerpoint presentations directly from the e750. Unfortunately, the "expansion" kit which is required to connect to a digital projector isn't currently available (there is a discounted combination package of the expansion kit and a long life battery)...on "back order". So, in short, the unit runs as advertised and has a beautiful screen. Can't wait for the expansion pack so I won't have to lug my portable PC to give presentations.

I ended up sending this pocket pc back five times and I had to replace it twice! The service is poor compared to other companies. The device is extremely fragile and takes up time on easy tasks with the hardware. I would stay away from this company and recommend "hp." If you want to buy a good priced Pocket PC that has Wi-Fi and has a high quantity of memory, purchase the hp 1945 Pocket PC. Other then the support from Toshiba, the operating system software (Windows 2003 Pocket PC Edition) is easy to use and gets my jobs done without working at my desk all day long.
