First review of E-TEN glofish X500 Pocket PC Phone is available November 13, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Not available yet on sale (coming soon) but some websites received already test units from E-TEN from Taiwan so here comes the first review of this Pocket PC phone that is 2nd thinnest Pocket PC phone in the world and the thinnest one with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi. This phone features fast Wi-Fi (802.11g), latest Bluetooth (2.0) and very sensitive GPS chipset (SiRFStar III), so combined with small size it is direct competitor to HTC Artemis. However this phone has processor that is much faster than this one from HTC Artemis, so clearly it looks like the best Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone with built-in GPS!  This phone would be my daily driver if it had 3G. It's got just about everything a geek could want (perhaps minus a keyboard), and it's still running slow EDGE. My guess is that if E-TEN finds the glofish brand to be a success, they'll start producing a device with 3G. [...] This device includes the fantastic SiRFStar III GPS chipset which features quick satellite acquisition times and low power usage. But where's the mapping software? I'm not ready to spend another $100+ after having bought a new device. The HTC Artemis P3300, a similar device that has built in GPS, comes with TomTom6 navigation software, why can't the X500?
