With the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30405">SE upgrade</a>, I think that makes it the cheapest WM2003SE device currently on the market. ;) It's not a powerhouse by any imagination, but still, that's a pretty good price!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20040920-Toshibae400.jpg" />

Its got a nice featureset and for that price it beats out annything else thats similarly priced.

Clearence priced?

What is the story. Id Toshiba officially out of the U.S. PDA business? It seems like they are, but people still seemed suprised that the E830 isn't coming here...

Does the e400 have bluetooth in it? I don't see it mentioned in the specs. A used 1940 is similarly priced, but has built in bluetooth. It doesn't have SE...

but what's more important built in SE or bluetooth?

A very good question - worthy of a poll, methinks.

For me - SE. Bluetooth can be added with a card, but if the device doesn't support SE (like mine), then "you are screwed, roundeye".

True, but I guess it comes down to personal preference. I have never tried a WiFi/Bluetooth stick yet. I don't like the idea of anything sticking out of my PDA.

Maybe if there were some sort of case designed for a sticking out stick... that would look funny though. heh.

Janak,

Your SEUPGRADE link appears to be expired...is Toshiba still offering it???

Also, how does this model compare in size and speed to the HP2215/2210???

Thanks.

The link doesn't work, but you can go into Toshiba tech support then to downloads... then your PDA and the SE upgrade is there.
