John over at Compu2Go writes in with this review.<br /><br />"Toshiba has turned in their dull metal and black plastic boxes for deep-purple & stylish speedsters. The box says the e400 is blue, but its easy-grip, graphite-like surface glitters rich purple hues when the light catches it. You may think it odd I'm starting out my review of a PDA by ooh-ing and ah-ing about the color... but I'm not stopping there. Toshiba has produced a true blue-blood of a PDA, a Prince Harry of a PocketPC. It's a thing of beauty to behold, light as a feather to hold, and a fast little machine when it gets to work. I hear you asking: did it stay a blue-blood through the review, or turn into a frog? Read on & find out!"

Rumour has it that Prince Harry is not Prince Charles's son, but the result of one of the many supposed affairs Diana had. So he is probably not Blue-Blooded.

But the e400 surely is. :)

I currently have an e355, but I do not see myself "upgrading" to one of the newer Toshibas. I just do not like the way they look. Ugly is a word for it unattractive, not stylish enough for me, to wide as well.
I prefer to go with a 2215, or a Dell X3i, or Fujitsu Loox :rock on dude!:
I do not need the voice command but it is a good 'extra' feature to have.

So they are made of a metal substance? I thought they were plastic by their looks. If they are indeed metal, I give toshiba props for build quality as I think regardless of weight, all manufacturers should follow this path.
