I got a toshiba e750. All reviews say its crap but I love it. The whole device cost me £115 (end of line) from Comet (or currys, always get them mixed up). - thats under $250 i think

Its got a 400mhz CPU and 64mb ram as well as wifi b and support for CF and SD cards. It runs WM2003

It has msn and outlook, and powerpoint, and IE, and word, and excel, and media player, and acrobat. I love it!

One gripe is that WMP11 says its too old :(

These devices are under £40 on ebay so i recommend them!

There squareness is much nicer than the ipaqs curves. they can take a beating too.

Grr was gonna add some pics but it wont let me

Nice, practical thread — two short, hands‑on notes that add useful context to and 's posts.

Older Pocket PC devices often refuse modern desktop software because desktop builds target Windows XP/Vista, not the handheld OS. That explains the "too old" media error: the solution is to use a player built for the handheld OS or to transcode files into a device‑friendly format and store them on removable media. Before installing third‑party CABs, back up ActiveSync data and any ROM settings. Prefer running large media from the CF/SD card rather than internal RAM to avoid slowdowns and crashes.

On the missing blog attachment feature: many platforms separate forum upload code from blog code, so is probably right that it needs backend work. Workarounds that avoid waiting for new site code:

  • Upload photos from the device to a PC via ActiveSync, then attach them to a forum reply (the forum attachment system is often already enabled) and paste a link into the blog.
  • Keep large files on the storage card and reference them with a short HTML/img tag in the blog if HTML is permitted.
  • Use a simple image host (no embeds in the blog engine) and link to hosted images; keep originals backed up.

Practical device tips to keep things snappy: trim ActiveSync inboxes, move nonessential apps and media to the storage card, disable unused wireless or background services, shorten backlight timeout, and remove bulky add‑ins in mobile Office. Caution: avoid flashing ROMs or installing untrusted CABs unless comfortable with device recovery; always keep a backup.

Sorry, I haven't yet had a chance to code attachments into the blogs. Although it is on my list, but not one of the higher-ups right now.
