PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Geeks.com sent us a special edition of the Toshiba e800 Pocket PC PDA. What's special about this new revision we review today is that it comes by default with a very high capacity battery and the ability to use USB devices through its "presentation pack" accessory, making it a product best suited for professionals, but also for geeks.

...instead of offering 128 MBs of RAM and 64 MBs of ROM, it would have been better to include 64 MBs of RAM (which is plenty for Windows Mobile) and 128 MBs of storage flash ROM.

Because as we all know, 64 something is more than enough for everyone, right? ;P

All joking aside have you tested any emulators on this system? How does it run under Linux? Given that your firmware upgrade seemingly caused an isssue with ActiveSync can you truly justify the 'upgrade' or is it this perhaps which the extra sized battery is supposed to offset? Assuming that you were to pick up a WiFi card for this unit how is its performance-- or does it insist on using the Bluetooth stack you hate so much?
