Toshiba e805 Reviewed by The Gadgeteer

Julie Strietelmeier of the-gadgeteer.com recently wrote a very detailed review of the Toshiba e805, a Pocket PC that runs Windows Mobile 2003 and has a four-inch TFT color display. This handheld has a 400 MHz Intel PXA263 processor, 128 megabytes of RAM, integrated WiFi, and two open card slots (one CompactFlash and one Secure Digital slot).

This review has a lot of pictures, including good size-comparison shots of the e805, palmOne Tungsten T, and HP iPAQ 2215. It would be a lot easier to make choices among cutting-edge PDAs if more product reviews were as photo rich as this one.

Some of the more interesting points in this review are:

  • a thorough discussion of the e805's VGA video capabilities, including application support issues,
  • a discussion of use of the e805 as an MP3 player, with the reviewer suggesting that its sound quality exceeds that of her iPod, and
  • a side-by-side comparison of the brightness and contrast of the displays of the e805 and the iPAQ 2215.

The Toshiba e805 is clearly designed for Pocket PC power users. If you like PDAs without keyboards, this is one of the most powerful and feature-packed models I've seen on the market.
