Windows Phone Thoughts: pdabuyersguide Reviews Toshiba e405

"Toshiba's latest Pocket PCs, the e405 and e805 are excellent offerings ready in time for holiday shopping season. Though they've been making Pocket PCs for a few years, their unrounded silver rectangular units lacked style. And while the e755 was a very solid unit offering a great deal of features for the price, problems with its predecessor, the e740 left some buyers wary. The e300 series had SDIO slots that were not compatible with SD WiFi cards, leaving some network-hungry buyers unhappy.

I'm happy to say that Toshiba is firing on all cylinders with these new units. The e405 has style, a market differentiating midnight metallic blue casing and an SDIO slot that supports SDIO as well as BSquare's SDIO Now! standard, making for a great partnership with both SanDisk's and Socket's SD WiFi cards. The e405 also comes with Toshiba's own voice command and text to speech applications, making it the only current Pocket PC to have these features out of the box. The e405 is their entry level model offering a good processor, ample RAM and an SD slot. The e805 is the new high end model, offering more horsepower, CF and SD slots, plenty of RAM and a VGA-capable display."
