Meet ETEN Glofiish M800 - like HTC Kaiser but with 4 times higher resolution !
October 07, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
While ETEN Glofiish X800 is still not on sale (it was presented at various trade shows already), a successor to this phone - with slide-out QWERTY keyboard - is being released! Interestingly it has almost all the features that HTC Kaiser (aka HTC TyTN II) has: built-in GPS, HSDPA, WiF, Bluetooth, 3G video calling, ... but it also has something that neither HTC Kaiser nor any other HTC phone can offer: VGA (640x480) display in a pocket-size device (!):
Some specifications:
- 500 MHz Samsung processor
- 256 MB ROM
- 2 cameras
- VGA display
- Windows Mobile 6 Professional (i.e. Windows Mobile 6 for touch-screens)
- HSDPA / UMTS
- SiRFstar III GPS chip
- 1530 mAh battery
- available since November 2007
- expected price: 599 to 629 Euro
- standard 2.5 mm stereo headset connector (instead of prioprietary one used in HTC phones)

Conclusion: instead of releasing intermediary model - X800 - probably ETEN has decided to go for extended version with full QWERTY keyboard right away. However it must be noted that some phones from ETEN - notably M700 (predecessor to M800) couldn't use reliably GPRS at some mobile operators (for example at T-Mobile UK) and hopefully this issue will be resolved in M800...
