Despite early fixes from Toshiba, this PDA still has frequent problems with hard resets (you lose everything), loose batteries (you lose everything), and no support (cannot be upgraded). I am junking mine and moving to any vendor that shows they support their products (unlike Toshiba). from Amazon.com I don't know why this pda has such a bad review, I recently purchased one and its been great! I haven't had one problem with it. from Amazon.com This is a a great PDA execpt for one thing. It is has NO built-in memory to save stored data. The E 750 took care of this problem and Toshiba essentially stifed the owner of the orignal -including my letter to them which was written before one year warrantee. They never even answered my letter.

Their answer was to give you a $40 credit towards their old defective E740.

from Amazon.com I was pleased with its performance until I realized that Toshiba doesn't offer the upgrade to Pocket PC 2003. Seems like just a ploy for me to sell it and buy the 755, which is the same machine. from Amazon.com I've only had the 1% battery problem once because I usually sit mine to recharge overnight. Is it a hassle? Not if I need to update information on it daily (e-mails, appointments, etc).

All in all, it's been frustrating to see poor reviews and then see Toshiba not support the e740 any more. However, with proper management, you can get a WiFi enabled PDA with SD/CF slots for cheap and be pretty satisfied with yourself!

from Amazon.com I brought the E740 1 month ago for a very good price. If you are looking for a wi-fi enabled PDA, but don't want to spend too much on it, take a look at the E740. from Amazon.com As one of the first ones to buy a Toshiba e740, I have had nothing but troubles since the day I bought it. I paid close to $500 for it back then. from Amazon.com My Pocket has been reseted 4 times already, I have only used it 4 weeks in the 3 months that I have it, it is really disapointing losing your information. With this gadget you have to be lucky first, and be on top of charging it all the time. from Amazon.com 1. Despite being sold with the understanding that Pocket PC 2003 would be supported, the company dropped support for upgrading the e740. 2. from Amazon.com PDA freezes often, forcing you to soft reset which doesn't always work, then you have to hard reset, lose all your data and you have to reset all your owner information too. Battery is a joke. The guy at Toshiba said if you actually use an SD card and turn Wifi off you get only 1 1/2 hours of juice! Turn Wi-Fi on and forget about it. from Amazon.com
