Now, before i get clowned for wanting an e310 keep in mind that for what i need, it is fine. They are both 200 dollars, and, excluding battery life, expansion, and the price, which pocket pc is best for graphics, games, speed, service, etc. The toshiba already gets points for its small skinny size and included cradel. Please help me make up my decision :D thanks

sorry also let me add that i do not plan on going wireless by any means, and have just recentally in the last few minutes seen the e350, does anyone have any news on this such as a possible release date?

Thats a tough battle, but in the end, it depends on whats more important to you. The Dell has a great screen, much better than the e310. Its d-pad is also marginally better than the e310. I think the e310 has a 1/3 second button delay, as well as the other Toshiba devices.

If you really need processing power, the e310 is faster than the Axim, but not by much. I would go with the Axim, or save up to buy a better one :)

The Toshiba e310 suffers from a button delay, which means that the buttons don't register until about 300ms after you press them, which means that gaming is impossible on it.

I'd suggest the Viewsonic V35.

Happens on mine too, Fett. From other posts I've read, I think it's common to all of them. Like you said, it doesn't happen much, but it does happen.

Oh yeah.... Meant to add that I still highly recommend the Dell. =)
