Summary: 755 is great, except for the Wi-Fi with WEP
Review: The e755 has an outstanding screen, fast processor, tons of memory, both CompactFlash and SD/SDIO expansion capabilities, but the Wi-Fi is not quite fully functional.

When using the e755 Wi-Fi with a Netgear WG602 802.11b/g access point, the e755 handled the wireless linkup and communication very well, as long as I only configured the access point for MAC filtering and didn't activate either the 64 or 128 bit WEP. As soon as I turned on the WEP the e755 wasn't able to maintain a connection with the access point (which was within 10 feet and clear line of sight).

If you're looking for a powerful and flexible PDA with unsecured wireless access, then the e755 is an excellent choice, but if you also need to have your wireless communication encrypted you'd be wise to look elsewhere.

Summary: Don't waste your money on this device
Review: This PDA seems like a good deal, but its not. Unless you buy the extended warranty and you don't mind dealing with the many quirks of this pockpet pc, do not get it. First, the WiFi was difficult to use and I could connect, even when only 8 feet away from the router.

Also, after a couple of days, the screen would not react to tapping, it became useless. I'm not saying that this particular thing might happen to you, but there are quite a few things that can go wrong simply because it has so many features.

So if you want to avoid this frustration, just go with an IPAQ or DELL AXIM. They are much more reliable and have much better customer support.

Summary: Toshiba out front
Review: Toshiba are the industry leader. This machine is fast, the screen is great, and the memory is completely serviceable. It gets an enum failure error which requires a soft restart from time to time, but it is fully functional, top-of-the-line. I will be upgrading to the 805.

Summary: Wireless Lan Utility Error
Review: You cannot press more than one button at a time, so this makes playing any kind of game impossible. This is especially unforgivable since this was a major failing of the e740, an earlier Toshiba unit. If you do not like to play games, and firmly belive you never will, then this is the pocket pc for you. However, if you think you might ever play a game on you pocket pc, avoid this one like it has SARS. My three year old palm pilot is better for games than this thing.
However, besides gaming, this unit has it all, wifi, lots of memory, a fast processor an every option except for good buttons...its a shame because for me that means I have a expensive paper weight.
