General Comments
Would be happy with this Toshiba e740 PDA if not for the frequent (several times daily) reboots with complete data loss. Most of the time spent using it is backing up or restoring.
The volume recorder switch is too easily activated - even when device switched off in a briefcase or pocket - which flattens the rather limited battery in no time. I have replaced the battery with a higher capacity battery - not cheap - but it's rather bulky.
I tried to persist as I use a combination of CF and SD cards elsewhere which the E740 supports but have now given up. The device has been back to Toshiba twice but problem persisted and if anything is getting worse. Toshiba refused to replace the item.
