Summary: Literally Garbage
Comment: I spent a lot of time trying to develop a Text Messaging/Mapping over MURS application for the PocketPC/WinCE platform in 2002, and picked up the E740 as my target device, thinking I was getting a "good deal". But Toshiba never supported this device properly, and its Operating System couldn't be upgraded... besides, the thing was a piece of junk anyway - constantly losing all your data, and a big hassle to synchronize... I had been a happy Palm user before, and was quickly dismayed at the poor quality of the device.
There was some hope for a Linux OS upgrade for the device in late 2002, but that went nowhere as well.
I'm not going to even try to sell this thing (along with all the accessories I'd paid good money for)... it is finally GOING IN THE GARBAGE RIGHT NOW (11/2/2008)... GOOD RIDDANCE!

Summary: Piece of Junk!!! Don't buy
Comment: I have a really cool paperweight for anybody that wants it. It sort of looks like a PDA, but isn't.
Seriously though, I had my E740 for a little less than a year when it started doing hard-reboots like others have complained about. I contacted Toshiba and they had me send it in. They sent me a new battery when they supposedly "fixed" it.
Shortly after the warranty expired, the PDA became totally unreliable and eventually stopped working altogether. That was over 4 years ago.
Since then, I have been using a Dell Axim X30. It's like night and day. I have never lost any information with it. It's too bad Dell got out of the PDA business.

Summary: What a peice . . .
Comment: I have tried everything that I can think of to make this $500+ PDA work for me. It has been back to Toshiba twice. I puchased the PA3197U 1BRL "high capacity battery pack." It is still the single worst electronics purchase of my life.
The main problem is that the e740 will dump ALL my data at a whim. It randomly resets and looses all my data.
If you have any use for a PDA that will require that you COMPLETELY set it up and re-sync it in order to recover your data, Toshiba has a PDA for you !
If you are looking for a company that will answer your customer service needs by selling you additional, over-priced accessories that will in NO way resolve your problems, consider giving your business to Toshiba.

Summary: Stay Away from this PDA
Comment: Despite early fixes from Toshiba, this PDA still has frequent problems with hard resets (you lose everything), loose batteries (you lose everything), and no support (cannot be upgraded). I am junking mine and moving to any vendor that shows they support their products (unlike Toshiba).

Summary: Excellent PDA
Comment: I don't know why this pda has such a bad review, I recently purchased one and its been great! I haven't had one problem with it. And for the people that are complaining about the record button, it can be disabled!
