Summary: Do not listen to all of the one stars
Review: This is a great device. I have had it now for about 3 months. I have not had to do one soft reset in 2 months after i learned how to use it.

And i had to do one hard reset when i got back from vacation and i drained the battery down to almost nothing.

Summary: disappointed
Review: I bought this item with a lot of high hopes. I had used a Compaq Ipaq for about a year and thought this would be an upgrade. After having constant problems with resets and the wireless feature I am about to give up on it. I didn't realize what a poor product this is until after my 30 days to return it so I guess I am stuck with it. I probably should have waited til the new series came out. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Summary: Don't let the features fool you.
Review: I purchased this unit for all of the features: compact flash slot and secure digital, WI FI, good amount of memory, etc. all for a reasonable price.

However, after using it for only a few days it would not turn off. I had to reset the machine. Then the file explorer would lock up and I could not get it to shut down.

I kept this PDA for almost 30 days trying everything I could to keep it running. After having to reset it 8-10 times, losing all of my data each time, I just couldn't stand it anymore. I checked with a friend who had also owned this model Toshiba. He and his boss had the same exact problems. That's three examples that this machine is just unstable. I finally had to return it, very disappointed.

Summary: Good Performance.
Review: Read many reviews and since my house is totally 802.11, I decided on the e755. Set up was quite easy. Connecting to my wi-fi was e breeze. The only problem I encountered was a white screen on the second day, which I went to Toshiba website and found instructions on how to reset.
After relaoding all my setting (15-20 mins), I was on the go again.
Another annoyance is the effort it takes to remove the PDA from the cradle. Toshiba should include a release button like the one they have for the CF card.

Summary: disappointing
Review: This product is great on features, which was the reason why I bought it. I started having trouble with connecting it to the internet, with the router being in close viscinity.
I later found out after reading some more reviews that this device's Wi-Fi card only supports 64-bit WEP encryption, and not 12-bit. I kept on having problems even if WEP encryption was disabled.
After atleast 10 hard-resets over a period of 15 days, the battery stopped charging, even when the unit was on the cradle for 2 days in a row. I have always had a hard time with Toshiba's customer service, so I decided not to contact them, and return the PDA back to Amazon.
I think Toshiba has realized some of the problems in this PDA, which is why they have come out with a new line altogether. I would however recommend getting an HP or Dell, because of their customer support.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: It's a very nice design machine. Very easy to use. I had some problem with the Widonws mobile 2003. Certain programs are unable to open, like the Home, LAN manager, and I was unable to shut down the machine because when I press the power buttom once, it is supposed to shut down, but it asked me "allign the screen?" and after I alligned it, it went back to the desktop again, and then I pressed the shut down buttom, the allignment thing showed up again, and there was not way to shut this thing down. I had not choice but to erase everything. It has happened twice, and I just bought it a month ago. Everything else is good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Buy PDA
Review: It is a best buy PDA. It connects to wireless network without a single problem. Easy to setup and fast for even non-PDA tailor web-site. Compared with Palm Tungsten T, the pocket PC OS is far more sophsicated and powerful. And the PC2003 version is stable. Featurewise, this PDA is second to none. And the price is really good. In addition, I brought extension pack with this PDA, which is only $15 after rebate. With keyboard and extension pack, I don't need my notebook anymore.

It really is a gem for mobile professional.

Summary: A truely powerful PocketPC at a very reasonable price!
Review: Pro: It has everything you expect except for Bluetooth! Very bright and vivid screen. Very decent speed (I can play a bunch SNES games smoothly)! Very good body contruction (I dropped it once on the floor and nothing breaks)!
Con: It's difficult to insert into/remove from the cradle. Not very good design for 'record' button.
Bottomline: With Amazon's price, you can't find another PDA with matching specs!
Toshiba has two new PDAs just came out. However, if you compare the specs and the price, e755 is still #1 choice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top Pocket PC
Review: The best pocket PC ever (I've had 2 Compaqs). Together with Toshiba Expansion pack and a keyboard, it's a perfect tool for a mobile professional.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great machine at a great price
Review: This little Pocket PC is truly a piece of artwork. It is the most full-featured device you can find for such a reasonable price. The device has WI-FI, a fast processor (400MHZ, plenty of RAM(96MB) and expansion (SD and compact flash). It has a great little jog dial and although many complain about the record button above that, it can be turned off, changed to do something else or you can make it so that buttons don't "wake" the device.
I must say that the WI-FI is awesome. Although I was skeptical at first the scrolling for non-PDA optimized sites is easy and not at all a buden. Transfer speeds are also very close to any laptop or desktop WI-FI.
I've been finding more and more uses for the device and there are many great freewares out there for it. I just can't express how great this device is, I think everyone should own one!
