 Well look what the courier just dropped off... an Eten X500+! Packing the same specs as the Eten X500 (400MHz processor, WiFi, GPS) in the same ultra thin body but with an improved camera and ground breaking 2.8" VGA screen, the Eten X500+ breaks new ground in the world of compact Pocket PCs. The X500+ is available in the smart black shown here, or silver a-la-X500. I'll be putting it through it's paces over the next few days, but in the meantime, feel free to hit me with any questions you have about the unit!  P PS Don't even THINK about asking me whether they've fixed the T-Mobile GPRS issue on this handset 
-------------------- My current devices of choice - HTC Touch HD (Miri 6.5 v11), White T-Mobile G1 (Haykuro ADP1.5Hr3-A2SD), Samsung Blackjack II (6.1 stock)   |

This device looks interesting with the VGA screen.
I'd appreciate the views of anyone who's used a 2.8" VGA screen for web browsing - how much of an improvement is it over a QVGA screen at 2.8"? This could be a big factor in my choice of next PDA. The Kaiser looks ideal, it's just the lack of VGA that's bothering me. |

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ May 21 2007, 19:43)  The OS is Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Pocket PC). P Thanks. But I'm not stupid. I know that. I think to the OS and build version number, not the name of the OS.

What is this tmobile issue? I'm thinking about getting the QVGA version of this (Pharos PTL600) and I'm on Tmobile USA. The QVGA version is WM5 so I don't know if this bug would be an issue or not?
Lemme know before I gather up USD$500for it. |

GPRS doesn't work on T-Mobile UK... I believe T-Mobile USA is fine.
It does feel pretty snappy, definitely quicker than a 200MHz device. Not tried video playback as yet... P |

But hasn't the new ETEN glofish X800 superseeded this, or is it a totally different animal ?
Also, this is the one that's been getting rave reviews...but it looks the same/similar...anybody throw any light on it ? http://www.pharosgps.com/products/all-in-one/PTL600.htm This post has been edited by mikeact: May 22 2007, 10:07 |

It does make quite a difference, particularly in Opera. I'll try and do some comparison screens...

Looking forward to seeing the results of the comparison. I've been using Opera for a while on a 3.7" VGA screen (Acer n311) and have been pleased with it. |

Thanks for the info, Paul...
I presume that there is still no compatibility with "HC" type microSD cards, i.e. over 2GB ? I'd really like a device that I can stuff with both TomTom maps AND music ! - Steve |
