Posted on 05 June 2007 by


E-TEN Information Systems has been awarded the prestigious Best Choice of Computex Award for its high-end Glofiish X800. Support for 3.5G connectivity, Windows Mobile® 6 and VGA display make this the most advanced E-TEN Pocket PC Phone to date.
 
E-TEN has proudly been awarded a Best Choice of Computex Award for its recently announced Glofiish X800 Pocket PC Phone. Of the 25 Best Choice of Computex winners in 2007, the X800 is the only mobile phone and PDA category product to receive an award. The X800 is E-TEN’s first handset to support 3.5G HSDPA connectivity enabling fast data connectivity for high-speed downloads and a more enjoyable experience when surfing the internet or checking email while on the move. The X800 is also the first to feature a front-mounted camera to enable support for video calling.

“It is a honor to be counted among the best of all the many consumer electronics and PC related products on show at Computex Taipei 2007,” said Wayne Ma, President, E-TEN, “That the Glofiish X800 has been selected to receive a Best Choice of Computex Award is testament to E-TEN’s commitment to creating innovative mobile products with market-leading features.”

As with all of E-TEN’s next-generation Pocket PC Phones, the Glofiish X800 is based on the latest mobile platform, Windows Mobile® 6, and comes with a high-resolution VGA display. In addition the X800 is also one of the thinnest measuring just 15.8mm. The ability of E-TEN’s designers and engineers to fit so much into such a small form factor is further evidence of the company’s expertise in the handset market.

The X800 also features GPS support thanks to the built-in SiRF Star III chipset making it ideal for travelers or as an in-car navigation device. “Innovative platforms like E-TEN Glofiish X800 can be major catalyst for the growth of market for location enabled services and content,” said Kwnwar Chadha, Vice President of Marketing of SiRF Technology. “We are extremely pleased that the Glofiish X800 combines the latest 3.5G wireless platform with our flagship SiRF Star III architecture to bring both location awareness and navigation capability in a compact smart phone”

    Now this looks great!!! No keyboard, but I could possibly give it up for integrated GPS, HSDPA and VGA in a compact device…

    I love the look of this device and the specs make it one of the best out there.

    The M900, which is supposed to be released later, is an X800 with a keyboard.

    And that’s what I’m waiting for.

    So the M900 (providing it’s actually released) and the HTC Kaiser will be the two best WM phones out there. That is, unless something else comes out.

    What the Kaiser will have over the M900 (afaik) is possibly more RAM (depends on what Eten does for the M900, we’ll see), a tilting screen, a scroll wheel, USB 2.0, and a slightly higher res primary camera.

    What the Eten will have over the Kaiser is a VGA screen, better GPS chipset (although GPS performance in the Kaiser has yet to be assessed, but from what I can tell, SsIII may outperform it), an FM radio, a camera flash, and higher capacity battery.
