I've discovered why the Toshiba e740 Pocket PC I got for a great deal last month was perhaps available in the first place: It may have been removed from the shelf of the chain that was selling it due to Toshiba's decision not to offer an upgrade to Windows Mobile/PocketPC 2003. Owners of this mode, many of whom bought the model only weeks ago (like me) , feel stuck. While I can't complain about the price I got, I still find myself wishing I had seen this. I post it here as a warning to potential Toshiba customers of their PDA's (and their other products as well, if this is the kind of support they give).
I've been loooking to see if there is an "unsupported" method of getting the Flash ROM 2003 upgrade anyway (I'd store a backup just in case). So far, all the posts I've found say that the OEM has to supply the upgrade. Surely someone has found a way?
