Attention All Toshiba Pocket PC Owners: Sign This Petition!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SITES & RESOURCES" @ 05:00 AM
I had a feeling this was going to happen, and I fully support this petition - I signed it myself because, as an e570 and e310 owner, Toshiba has left me out in the cold with regard to updates and even EUU packs that every other vendor has offered. :evil: Frankly, I have no intention of ever purchasing another Toshiba Pocket PC again based on how they've treated me as a customer. If you own any sort of Toshiba Pocket PC, I would urge you all to sign this petition and make your voice heard. For those of you considering buying a new Pocket PC 2003 device, be careful - Toshiba probably won't offer an upgrade for it.
"The reason we are writing this petition is to express our extreme dissatisfaction and disappointment with your handling of the Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC upgrade. This follows a long list of grievances that the Toshiba e700 and e300 series communities have had with you and now we would like to air them out to you in this public forum in hope that we can come to resolution on our expensive investments.
The Toshiba e740 PDA was your flagship product for a solid year. It was the first PDA on the market with the advanced PXA250 400mHz X-Scale processor and built in WiFi. After its release, it was discovered that that the operating system at the time was not ready for the processor and there was little or no improvement. We accepted this as the cost of being early adopters. After all, the e740 was fully capable of being upgraded to the newest Pocket PC operating system when it was released. Likewise, the e330, utilizing the 300 MHz version of the processor, would reap similar benefits from an updated operating system. You have not given us the option of this upgrade."
