Strengths: Integrated wireless, nice color screen, simple interface.
Weakness: Battery doesn't last horribly long.
I really enjoy my e740, and I haven't had any problems with it so far. It has space for expansion and the integrated wireless is very easy to use.
Strengths: Metal outer casing can take a beating if needed. All the major bells-and-whistles built in (802.11b, CF and SD)
Weakness: Poor support from Toshiba. No upgrade available to PPC2003...
I picked up two of these about a month ago for a good price. The first had to be returned due to a faulty 802.11b adapter. At first I thought it was a configuration problem, but after a week it just cut out completely. The second has been working flawlessly. The voice memo button is in a bad place that causes you to inadvertantly start up a voice memo every time it is pulled from the included...
Strengths: WiFi works well, not much other than that.
Weakness: Who knows, it had to be shipped back and all we know is that is was "something behind the screen"
I purchased this product for my fiancee in April 2003 and paid over $700 including the "extended warranty", what a joke. In May, the product stopped syncing, then the screen went. We shipped it back to Toshiba. After a week and a half of no call to find out the status, upon calling Toshiba ourselves, we were told "the problem is behind the screen, which wasn't damaged before we shipped it, it...
Strengths: Built-in Wireless networking, beautiful screen, great operating system
Weakness: voice recording button sticks out and can cause your pocket pc to turn on in your pocket, stylus is hard to take out, can't play games because you can only press one button at a time.
The e740 is a great piece of hardware for those who do not have a lot of money to spend. I can play DivX movies with hardly any dropped frames. I have used my e740 to surf the internet, chat using MSN messanger, and organize my life. I have no complaints about this pocket pc because it has taken my life and career to the next level.
Strengths: WiFI, Sd and CF expansion, replacement battery
Weakness: Uncomfortable to hold for long periods, could use a more ergonomic shape
This PDA is great. Bought the ibm 1 gig cf hard drive and listen to CD's on long airplane flights. Use the hi capacity battery so power is never an issue but it does make it kind of thick. I have dropped it on hard floors a couple of times and never had a problem, didn't even dent the case. WIFI works great. Have used it in several airline lounges for email. Bottom line is this unit hasn't been...
Strengths: Toshiba product support
Weakness: Unreliable battery life.
This little number rocks! Although some kinks are still being ironed out, the internal wireless worked right out of the box. There was a problem of occasionally waking up in the morning & finding it with no power left, but since I can backup to flash card, I'm all set. Love the phone support--very helpful. And the price is right!
This is an excellent PDA, The only reason the reviews were bad below (2) was because that was before the battery recall and firmware upgrades. Once you do that, it runs perfectly and I have had ZERO problems with this excellent product. I have an external orinoco card, I use this for wardriving. I use ministumbler with attached yagi antenna and couldn't be happier. It's a perfect size, and looks...
This is an excellent PDA, about equivalent to the Compaq Ipaq 3975 (which I believe is the newest model at this time) The only reason the reviews were bad below (2) was because that was before the battery recall and firmware upgrades. Once you do that, it runs perfectly and I have had ZERO problems with this excellent product. I have an external orinoco card, I use this for wardriving. I use...
Strengths: Integrated WiFi AND two memory slots, metal case, compact compared to other PocketPC's with similar features, reasonable price
Weakness: Record button placement
First, the bad. The record button is in a somewhat bad location where it is easy hit when taking it out of the somewhat disappointing leather case. It would be nice to have some sort of cover that would flip from the front side to the side like on some Palms so you're not left carrying your case or having a rubber cover dangling on your PDA like some of the new iPaqs. Those are pretty trivial...
Toshiba is a relative newcomer to the US PDA market. The e310 which came out a few months before the e740 is being strongly marketed and sold through many retail channels and we expect the same of the e740. This is the first Pocket PC with the new XScale processor running at 400 MHz to hit the US market. Previous Pocket PC 2002 PDAs have 206 MHz StrongARM processors. Note that the Toshiba e750,...

Toshiba Pocket PC e740 PDA
Strengths: Wi-Fi, reasonable price ($192)
Weakness: Seldom bogus battery power reading, Center button does not work great
Great purchase! Have been using it for over 5 months and no big problems. Installed a 256MB card and have been doing backups to it. I also use the card to store mp3's, etc... I mainly use this ppc for personal and business (calendar, contacts, notes, documents, etc...). Problems: I get a low battery reading about every other month, even seconds after ppc was fully charged. The center/direction...
