Good thing God didn't hit Job with BT and AS. Things might have been different

Do you REALLY can live this way :mrgreen: ?
I hope this is an e740 scenario and NOT a PocketPC typical scenario. I do not have that kind of psycho marathon with my Palm...yeah, you'll say I also lack Bluetooth and all that icing, but I do not worry for the device. It's as reliable as a paper block and only susceptible to the same things, apart from falling...reading this story makes me swear I will never buy PocketPC...until tomorrow :mrgreen:

The events depicted above happened, maybe not every day, but often enough on my e740 that as soon as I got a ViewSonic V37 I retired my Toshiba. The e740 has had a (well deserved) bad reputation since early on, though it seems to be confined to a subset of devices. Others report no problems at all. Toshiba offered to exchange it, but I held out for a year for a newer device at Best Buy (I had the 3 year replacement plan).
I have had no problems with the V37, and once the h2215 iPAQ was released I traded in my e740 for it. So now I have two wonderfully reliable Pocket PCs: one a 2002 model and one a 2003 model.
