I think they are both going to be good. Of cours we are used to hearing about Toshiba, interestingly enough, there are some 740's that have been recalled. It was certain models in certain serial number listings. I want to try both out and see how it turns out for me. I will be glad when we can get some posts from users.

I won't buy either. As appealing as the ViewSonic is -- especially the screen -- I GOTTA have dual slots. That's tops on my list.

Well I don't know if this is too late to jump in or not, but I too was a long time Palm user, most recently a m505. I just bought a Toshiba e335 and I love it. The e335 I was told is basicallythe same as the e330, but with 64mb instead of 32mb of RAM. It is basically replacing the e330. In fact the back panel says e330, the box has a sticker on teh front New e335 with 64mb memory.

But having made the switch, I love the Toshiba unit, Havinga Toshiba laptop, car stereo, television as well, I am sort of partial to Toshiba products you could say. In addition to that I got my Pocket PC at half price suring a recent grand opening of a major electronics retailer so it only cost me $200.00 and that was before the $50 rebate from Toshiba.

But I have seen that Best Buy now has the same usnit regularly retailing at $349.00 (before rebate), but others like Circuit City and CompUSA still have it at $399.99 (before rebate).

That´s fixed on the e330.

(Please note that both e330 and e335 have 64 mb ram, the only difference is the imaging software - the e310 was the only toshiba with 32 mb)

The screen on the e330 is better than the e310. The v35 is even better on that.

An usb adapter for the toshiba cost $29. I dont think there is one for the v35.

But, i´m not still sure what to buy: V35 or e330. Someday i´ll go to the store and test them... i´m sure i´ll pick up one, i think both ones are thin, ligh, and unexpensive PDA´s. I don´t like the new iPaq because it´s only 200 mhz and 16 mb rom.


Anyone else likes Douglas Adams?

I thought that I would make comment on the screen of the e335 compared to the e310, they look the same. I work at the local Office Depot and we have both of them in stock, but when I was looking at them I really could not see the differences. Though there are some MS upgrades to the software, by guess was the EUU3 software. But that I was not sure of. I just notice the new start up screen, the new theme, and the newer version of Windows Media Player.

The difference between the two is a hard on, I think that I am a fan of the Viewsonic just becsuse the screen is supose to be better. But I would have to wait to tell. I also dont like the track record of the e310, I have never sold so many handhelds that have had so many problems. That would scare me about the e335, though you would think that Toshiba would make those changes. Toshiba as a company generaly is a great company to work with and they make great mobile products.

Just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of the 330 : D...couldn't afford one, but I'm still a big fan - it's a great value.

Buy the V35, it's a no-brainer. Mine is beautiful.

Only knowing about the Viewsonic on paper, I've played with with Toshiba E-330 a bit. I personally would prefer the Toshiba, more useable RAM, more heft, nice durable metal case as opposed to plastic. Though from the reports of the Viewsonic's screen that might just be the clincher for you, I myself thought the Toshiba's screen to be excellent - but I don't know much about these things either. On two products that are so close together I would like to use and see them both to decide. But if I didn't have that option, just off the top of my head I would go for the E-330.


That is... unless you have something against the Axim or were in an alternate reality in which it didn't exist it would be my number one choice

Default Viewsonic

If you get the viewsonic, you won't be screwed when toshiba comes out with an e340, which will of course be better than the e310, 330, and 335, and be 200 dollars cheaper.
