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

1. I don't care.
2. Get the 4150. You'll never regret the built-in apps.
3. Google it.
4. I don't know.
5. 2210 is only bought online. 2215 is the retail box model.

6., THIS POST IS TOO LONG, NEXT TIME JUST ASK QUESTIONS.

That's the problem with buying PPCs from companies that are just "dabbling" in that market. I hear that NEC is the exact same way with their PPC productline, no support, and no accessories.

Whatever you do, go for a device that has reasonable support and accessories. Any of the HP series would be a good choice if you're wanting add-ons to your device.

There's nothing wrong with long posts..

yeah but you still replied....If you don't like long posts, don't read them. :?
