(yet another) review of ETEN M600 Pocket PC phone November 29, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Since ETEN corporation has sent several free units of ETEN M600 phone to various websites, we can now observe quite a few of reviews of this phone. One could suspect that getting a phone for free, would make such reviews partial and too positive, but no! This phone indeed is very good - small size and built-in Wi-Fi - but the most interesting observation of these reviews is that Samsung processor in this phone - clocked at 400 MHz - is performing very well - not worse than Intel processor - and in some respects even better and faster... Yes, this phone is not perfect: it lacks 802.11g Wi-Fi and UMTS. But clearly not everybody considers this features as something critical or even important... Read on! Chinese version of the M600 was released in Taiwan a couple of weeks ago. If you're in the Asian region, you should be able to pick one up through local resellers. An English version of the M600 is planned for release on November 28; Shaston SA is distributing it throughout Europe and the Middle East, and is pricing it at €557 (without VAT). It has also been said that TORQ, the U.S. supplier of E-TEN's devices, will be releasing this unit as the P100w. No word yet on their release date or price. [...] The E-TEN M600 is one cool Pocket PC Phone Edition that I would hate to be without. With quad-band GSM/GPRS support, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b Wi-Fi, and E-TEN's value-added applications, the M600 offers plenty of bang for buck. It's a well-built Pocket PC that is relatively lightweight and comfortable to hold. Despite a few minor irks, the M600 triumphs with its excellent LTPS TFT-LCD, strong all-round performance, and good battery life.
