Rumor: upcoming Windows Mobile phones from ETEN unveiled
December 07, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
ETEN has very long history of making Pocket PC phones (almost as long as HTC) although only recently phones from ETEN became known in the west (they were selling previously only in Asia)...
There are some rumors regarding upcoming phones from ETEN:
- around March 2006 new ETEN Pocket PC phone will be
released and it will feature built-in GPS. It is unclear
whether it will have Wi-Fi or not but it means that number
of Pocket PC phones with built-in GPS will be decent:
2 models from HP, 1 model from Mitac and 1 model from ETEN!
- around summer 2006 ETEN plans to release Pocket PC phone
with EDGE. Unfortunately not with UMTS - although ETEN makes very decent phones, lack of UMTS may be totally bad particularly in Europe where operators invested billions in UMTS networks and need to sell phones with UMTS to recoup these investments.
- as previously announced ETEN is the only company
that will release ROM upgrade with Windows Mobile 5.0
for their old Windows Mobile 2003 phone: ETEN M500.
This information further is being confirmed.
