"This is a very nice offering from Toshiba for the low-priced Pocket PC market. It's thin and light, stylish and is expandable via SD cards." from Mobiletechreview.com "This is a very nice offering from Toshiba for the low-priced Pocket PC market. It's thin and light, stylish and is expandable via SD cards." from Mobiletechreview.com I have this pda for about 6 months now and i love it. I had a sony clie before this which went dead on me so i was in the market searching for another pda. The sole reason i went for pocket pc rather than palm os was the wifi capability (Now i think palm os also offers wifi?) e805 has built in wifi but is more expensive than this one and is heavier also (bought this one cause its cheaper than 805) so what i did was bought sd wifi card and voila! i m online. from Amazon.com For those who wish to get a quick review; This is the best pocket pc in the $200 dollar price range. I bought mine in April and I absolutely love it, my best friend bought one two weeks ago and he loves his as well. from Amazon.com Just beware. I own an e335 model and am very happy with it. This time I bought the e405 for my wife and "surprise!" it comes without a cradle and a (vinyl) leather case. from Amazon.com After looking at virtually all PDA's in both Palm and Pocket PC format, I chose the latter and preferred the Toshiba to the IPAQ series due to a brighter screen, no yellow tint with off angle viewing, a nice proprietary voice recorder which is easier to use than the standard Pocket PC recorder, and a useful enhanced proprietary Home display which, amongst other things, shows the battery level clearly.

The unit has worked flawlessly for the two months I have owned it. Battery capacity is adequate and it can be recharged whenever desired since it is NiMH.

from Amazon.com The SD slot works better than that in IPAQ. (The IPAQ will not detect the card if there are too many programs running or the card is inserted when the PDA is on.) However, I had to return mine because it was defective and it could not connect to ActiveSync. I belive it may be the one in a thousand but I was hoping the quality control of Toshiba would do better than that. from Amazon.com The e405 is one piece of well-made hardware. The toshiba fits nicely in your hand albeit a little small. from Amazon.com I did much research before getting my e405, I checked reviews and info of two ipaq models (1935 and 1945) and was also considering the Axim X3. Since I'm outside the US I didn't have the opportunity to go to a store and play with them, so I had to base my choice only on my internet research.

I picked the 405 mainly because of the 300mhz processor, the included 32 mb Nand flash memory card(internal), the voice command software, and of course the looks and style.

from Amazon.com Prior to picking up this Toshiba I was playing around with and testing the Dell Axium X3 and HP Ipaq 1945. After toying and fiddling with the three devices over the course of 2 weeks or so I decided to keep the Toshiba over both the HP and Dell. from Amazon.com
