Rating:  - Piece of Junk!!! Don't buy
I have a really cool paperweight for anybody that wants it.It sort of looks like a PDA, but isn't.
Seriously though, I had my E740 for a little less than a year when it started doing hard-reboots like others have complained about.I contacted Toshiba and they had me send it in.They sent me a new battery when they supposedly "fixed" it.
Shortly after the warranty expired, the PDA became totally unreliable and eventually stopped working altogether. That was over 4 years ... Read More
Rating: - What a peice . . .
I have tried everything that I can think of to make this $500+ PDA work for me. It has been back to Toshiba twice. I puchased the PA3197U 1BRL "high capacity battery pack." It is still the single worst electronics purchase of my life.
The main problem is that the e740 will dump ALL my data at a whim. It randomly resets and looses all my data.
If you have any use for a PDA that will require that you COMPLETELY set it up and re-sync it in order to recover your data, Toshiba has a PDA for ... Read More
Rating: - Stay Away from this PDA
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).
Rating:  - Excellent PDA
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. And for the people that are complaining about the record button, it can be disabled!
Rating:  - E 740 problems
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. Good customer relations -Toshiba
