E-310 On the Way!

[Retread316]

Just ordered one today...any suggestions for a Toshiba PDA "noob"??

I just got my e310 last week and this is some stuff i've done:

- installed some of microsoft's PPC power tools - can't remember the exact url but you should be able to find it at microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc. there's an expense program you can install and some extensions to the contacts software.

- installed pocketGB gameboy emulator (i haven't registered yet so i can only play zelda: oracle of ages for 5 min at a time :P )

- installed macromedia flash 5 player for pocket pc. there's some cool stuff at pocketpcflash.net

- if you want a nice case (the one you're going to get is horrible) there's a really nice leather one at www.pielframa.com ($60 though). i searched all day for e310 cases once and that's the best one i could find. pdabuzz.com and the-gadgeteer.com have case reviews (and tons of other cool stuff).

If i think of other cool stuff i'll post it.

PS Oh yeah and make sure you get yourself the $50 rebate from Toshiba! I don't have the info right now but if you need it send me a message.

Thanks for the suggestions - I've already printed the rebate form...I found the E-310 for $299 on-line...it seems that $249 (with the rebate) is a STEAL for this machine.

I found and ordered a 128MB SD card for it for $62 too...

$60 seems a bit steep for a case...I've been scanning for others.

I just got an e310 this week too and have been searching for cases. Here are some cheaper ones that have the same features as the Piel Frama:

- $35 from Handheld Planet: http://handheldplanet.net/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HHP&Product_Code=4100&Category_Code=4100

- $40 from StylusCentral.com:

- $20 from Belkin (no SD card holders):

Have you seen third party stylii for the e310? I'd like a rubber-tipped one, but I haven't seen any stylii which are purported to fit it.

Thanks for the input.

I've dl'd quite a bit of stuff based on reccomendations and snooping around the Internet.

My E-310 should be here on Friday (30th August)...I found a 128MB SD card for $65.00 shipped too - that should give me a bit of elbow room to play with for a while too.

I think I'll leave it "stock" for the first few days at least...
