Comment: Great PDA For Basic Users Rating:
The Toshiba e350 is a great PDA for people using it for basic tasks. If you are interested in running large apps or putting a full music collection of oyur PDA, go for a faster, more capable PDA like an ipaq 5450.
Pros:
Lots of memory for basic users.
Compatiable with most software.
Beautiful screen (good resolution).
Small
Low priced
Cons:
Battery Life
Low memory for some users
Doesn't work well in cold areas (like CT)
Doesn't come Wi-fi enabled

If you need a basic PDA, this is perfectly fine for you (Although I recommend the Toshiba e355 over this because it comes with more software for the same price). If you have a problem with your PDA, I recommend using a 3rd party service to help fix it (Toshiba has really bad customer service).

Comment: Great Little PDA Rating:
I found my E350 for $110.00. It has been an absolutely stunning performer. I am very pleased with its battery life, and the screen quality. The screen looks great indoors and outdoors. When we go on trips, my girlfriend uses it to watch movies. It works great. I would get this model over the E355. Having an image viewer is not that big of a deal, since superior image viewing programs for the Pocket PC can be downloaded from a bunch of sites. This PDA is a great deal!

Comment: Great Basic PDA Rating:
After two Philips NINO in the early days and an HP Jornada, I recently bought the Toshiba e350, and I am quite happy with it. From the intro you can see that I am a Pocket PC user, just find this OS more appealing and easier to combine with my Windows based PC, and this was mandatory for me.
The e350 is a very nice product, and I especially like:
+ the extremely nice color LCD screen (you can clearly read even in the brightest sunlight! It's truely amazing.)
+ the small form factor (the product is only 12mm thin) and nice sleek design
+ the good processor performance (it exceeds my needs by far)
+ the easy connectivity (I use the IR port at work and the cradle at home, both work excellent and are easy to set up)
+ and of course the good price point.
On the negative side, there are only few points:
- battery life is not great compared to both the NINO and the Jornada (I have to charge the e350 about twice a week)
- a flip cover would be nicer than the pouch to protect the screen.

All in all, I think this is a very good basic PDA at a fair price, and I would definitely recommend it.
