This is gonna get a bit lengthy so thanks in advance
I recently got my toshiba e405 and then returned it. This was due to a high pitched buzzing noise. I figured it may have just been a defective one so i figured I would give it another try and got a different one. I still heard the same buzzing coming from the second one. I liked the ppc so much that i figured I might just see if I can stand it, by getting used to it. The only thing that has happened is the buzzing getting slightly worse and me getting increasingly annoyed. I called up tech support and had them send out a box for me to get it fixed and while I have had the box for a week now, I have still not sent out my ppc because I am in the middle of moving. All sorts of things with the houses are going wrong and I dont want to have it shipped to the wrong place since I don't know where i'll be.
Over this time I have grown less and less happy with my e405 and the buzzing is really getting to me(dont get me wrong I think it's an incredible pda in every way BUT the buzzing has to stop). Just a few minutes ago I began weighing the pros/cons of the e405 vs the ipaq 2215. Now I am starting to think I made a very bad descision with that e405 and i should have gone with the 2215.
I can't say I'm happy with toshiba either. The cradle JUST came out, there are still no cases, no host cable, keyboard. NOTHING. Im thinking that I shouldnt have to put up with this buzzing pda that I need to send away to get to work correctly. Also nobody seems to like it(but me) so I am wondering if accessories are ever going to come out or if I am just wasting my time and money here. I am not just bringing it back so I can exchange though. Its the buzzing that really screws the e405 over for me.
So here's what I wish to do.
I want to take my e405 back to compusa for a refund, or store credit(I dont care because I will likely be spending it on a new pda anyway) I am thinking of going with the 2215.....
or the 4xxx(the one with BT and wifi)
The thing is, i just got a SD wifi card for my e405 for my birthday. To afford the 4xxx I would have to bring back the wifi card to costco(good thing its costco. Their policy is no-question returns. They take stuff back for whatever reason you may have )
Here is my budget
ive got $320 before wifi is returned and 420 after that.
Now that I have said everything I need to say(and much thanks to anyone who actually read all that) here are some questions I have.
1. Do you feel that this is all ethical?
2. If you were in my position which PDA would you get between the 2 I mentioned? I really wouldnt use BT that much at all so it basically comes out to 2215 having dual slots and the 4xxx having everything I want built in. Are there any other advantages to one or the other?
3. What should each of these 2 choices run me and where can I get such a deal?
4. My e405 came with an inklink(some accessory) which I opened up and tried(sadly i cant use it because it conflicts with some software and I dont know what). Then there was a rebate, but only if you got the inklink. The e405 was 300 then for 400 you get the inklink and a 100 dollar rebate. so it goes back down to 300. How is this handled when you want to make a return? I would just return both things right?
5. 2210/2215? whats the diff?
Thanks a lot for your help
