My Toshiba e800 – May you RIP

Filed under: Gadgets,HP iPaq rx3715,Toshiba e805 — spiderwebwoman at 8:18 pm on Wednesday, April 27, 2005

My Toshiba e800 Pocket PC died again, and this time I let it go peacefully. I spent one day in mourning, and one day researching its replacement – I bought and have been using an HP iPaq rx3715 for about a week now and I love it. It’s actually called a “Mobile Media Companion” – […]

Things have changed at Toshiba Technical Support

Filed under: Gadgets,Toshiba e805 — spiderwebwoman at 8:14 pm on Saturday, August 7, 2004

I called Toshiba Technical Support on Monday to report the failure of my replacement e805. The guys I talked to in April, May and June (Mike, Mark, and Peter, the supervisor) don’t appear to be working there anymore. On Monday a guy named Noman answered my call. I explained to him that the only way […]

My replacement Toshiba e805 is failing

The replacement e805 that Toshiba sent me in June seems to be failing. I’m hoping it’s just the faulty touch screen digitizer problem I’ve read about on other sites.

Toshiba is replacing my PocketPC

They agreed that 3 times was enough – they are sending a box via UPS to collect the broken one and everything that came with it (except the CD) – as soon as they get it back, they will send me a new one. Happy happy dance of joy!

Another e805 update

Filed under: Gadgets,Toshiba e805 — spiderwebwoman at 9:05 am on Saturday, June 12, 2004

I got my e805 back yesterday, charged it up, restored from my SD card backup, and synced it up with Outlook. I called Toshiba to find out what they’d done this time – they said “we reprogrammed the unit with new software – the OS”. Not Windows Mobile 2003 SE – he said it wasn’t […]

My e805 is back at Toshiba – again

Filed under: Gadgets,Toshiba e805 — spiderwebwoman at 7:15 am on Friday, June 11, 2004

I put it in my purse and I guess the Record button got bumped and it recorded for about an hour and locked up. Under battery power, I couldn’t turn it off – every time I turned it off, it turned it self back on again. I tried two hard resets (at Toshiba’s recommendation) one […]

My Toshiba e805 arrived home yesterday, after its second trip to Toshiba for repair.I’m not sure what they did the first time, but it didn’t fix the problem. This time I called and found out they replaced the motherboard. Hopefully this time it’s fixed for good.

My PocketPC is home again, but not for long

A few weeks ago, I reported the passing of my Toshiba e805 PocketPC. I returned it Toshiba for repair and got it back on Friday. I set it up and reinstalled ActiveSync on Saturday, and by Saturday night at 10 pm, I had had to ‘soft reset’ it 6 times – it kept locking up […]

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of my beloved Toshiba e805

Filed under: Gadgets,Toshiba e805 — spiderwebwoman at 2:54 pm on Sunday, April 25, 2004

I knew she wasn’t feeling well earlier this week. Every morning she would wake up when I placed her lovingly in her cradle, but within an hour, she had fallen fast asleep. I could only wake her up with a soft reset, but by yesterday, even that wasn’t enough. This morning she wouldn’t wake up […]
