Toshiba Announces Pocket PC 2003 Upgrade Policy
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 03:09 PM
Bad news, e330 and e740 owners: it looks like Toshiba may not be offering an upgrade. :(
The attached press release spells out the upgrade policy: "Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 Series customers can take advantage of the benefits of Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PCs via a technology upgrade program**. Users who purchased a Pocket PC e750/755 Series device from May 23, 2003 - Sept 23, 2003 are eligible to upgrade to the new operating system for free plus $15.99 for shipping and handling. Customers who purchased the Pocket PC e750/e755 Series with the Pocket PC 2002 operating system before May 23, 2003 will be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003 for $50.00 (shipping and handling included)**. Full program details can be found by visiting www.shoptoshiba.com.
**Note: For Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 only. Not compatible with other Pocket PC 2002 models."
While the wording doesn't specifically exclude any future upgrades for the older Pocket PC 2002 units, there appears to be no announced upgrade program. If anyone has more information, let us know!
