E-TEN Glofiish X500 IS the thinnest Pocket PC phone in the world ! - with GPS and Wi-Fi
October 30, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Update: we must admit a mistake, because apparently we were comparing apples and oranges and the X500 is the thinnest in the world with both WiFi & GPS built in. ETEN used the phrase "World's thinnest Pocket PC Phone, GPS and Wi-Fi - All-in-one" so "World's thinnest" applies to the whole list, not just Pocket PC Phone. In other words: we were wrong: ETEN X500 is the thinnest Pocket PC Phone in the world with built-in both GPS and Wi-Fi.

When it comes to Pocket PC phones in general there is other phone than X500 that is thinner, but it has no built-in GPS so the statement of ETEN was after all correct! This other Pocket PC phone looks like this:



... and it is a Pocket PC phone with 802.11g Wi-Fi and QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage that not only is cheap but also is actually the thinnest Pocket PC phone in the world!

An ultra slim Pocket PC phone with QWERTY keyboard, the UBiQUiO 501 is the ideal device to keep you in touch with the office. Composing e-mails, texting, writing notes and documents, or performing spreadsheet calculations is quicker and easier thanks to the responsive keyboard.

To learn more or to purchase this Pocket PC phone online, click here (to purchase it in other country than UK, just click on your country name in upper right menu). It may don't have 3G/UMTS and EDGE but it has fast Wi-Fi 802.11g and QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage, what is all many people need anyway. Instead of using crippled 240x240 resolution (which for example Palm Treo 750v uses) it uses standard Pocket PC resolution of 320x240 pixels!

For comparison's sake here is thickness of various Windows Mobile phones:
  • Samsung i320 MS Smartphone = 11.5 mm
  • Motorola Q MS Smartphone = 11.5 mm
  • Samsung i600 MS Smartphone = 11.5 m
  • i-mate SPL MS Smartphone = 12 mm
  • UBiQUiO 501 Pocket PC phone = 13.5 mm
  • the thinnest Pocket PC phone with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi: ETEN glofiish X500 Pocket PC phone = 15.5 mm
