5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the price, March 17, 2003

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great As A First PDA, November 8, 2003

By	Joseph Villapaz (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars SONY Vs Toshiba, April 11, 2003

By	Han B. Kwon "Han K" (Queens, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used to be a die-hard pocket pc fan. My first PDA was Casiopia E200 with Windows CE 2.0 Toshiba e335 is my latest PDA, actually 6th PDA. It's interesting to tell you folks that my 5th PDA is SONY Clie SJ30 color with Palm OS. After using several lines of Pocket PCs - 1 Casio, 3 iPaqs, and now Toshiba. I can now say honestly to all of you that Microsoft has too many bugs. Most of the problems (big and small) Pocket PC users experience is all becuase of problems in Pocket Windows OS it self. It is just not reliable as Palm OS period. You don't have to take my word for it. You can try Palm PDA and Pocket PCs like I did and see for your self, although it can cost you some money. To put things simple, I was getting more work done with the SONY Pda with Palm OS than I ever managed to do with my Pocket PCs (old and recent) Sure, Pocket PC roks in looks and all its multi-media features. I downloaded tons of MP3 and JPG pics into my Toshiba PDA. but Pocekt PC is more of a toy than a work horse like Palms are. It's just hard to get any work done with Pocket PCs. It's just not as efficient and qucik as Palm OS is. Toshiba e335 like other Pocket PCs, suffer from similiar Windows releated problmes. Syn. problem, locks-up, (Microsoft's fault)and screen releated problem, power releated problem (Toshiba's fault) I somewhat regret buying Toshiba e335 as I expectd more from the latest Pocekt PC technology that it would be more like my SONY palm. After just one use of Palm based PDA, I can truly say that Palm has more experience in making PDA os than Microsoft does yet. I wish the next Microsoft pocket windows will be more like Palm combined with powerful MP3 and graphic features.
