Phone Review : E-TEN Glofiish X800 December 23, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.  The E-TEN Glofiish X800 comes in a box in E-TEN-typical orange colors (here: lying on a 12 inch Tablet PC): 
The specifications of X800 are clearly mentioned on the back of the box: 
... and reveal one interesting thing: this phone is powered actually by 500 MHz processor (Samsung SC3 2442) and not 400 MHz as some sources claimed! Notice also 2 cameras mentioned: one with auto-focus for photo taking and one with fixed-focus for video calling. Here is how this phone looks in the front: 
Battery is easily removable and after removal of battery one can notice that this phone is Made in Taiwan: 
To remove the battery one must first remove the battery cover - what can be easily done when one pulls it from the bottom first. As you can see above, the SIM card slot is easily accessible. You can also notice above that the camera on the back is equiped with a flash light and self-portrait mirror. The battery in this phone is made with use of the latest technology (Li-ion Polimer) and is of very high capacity of 1530 mAh: 
At the bottom of the phone one can notice microSD card slot (SDHC compatible), microphone and industry standard miniUSB connector: 
At the top of the phone one can notice "GPS" letters indicating that GPS antenna is located here: 
GPS in X800 is very sensitive (see below!) so lack of external GPS antenna connector is not a problem. On the right side of the phone one can find power switch and camera button: 
On the left side of the phone one can notice volume up/down button, auxilary button (by default assigned to voice notes but one can change its assignment), reset slot (needle needed to use it naturally) and a 2.5 mm stereo handset slot (not compatible with standard 2.5 mm stereo headsets). 
The most amazing feature of this phone is a display of big resolution of 640x480 pixels (here presented in scale one to one): 
The GPS integrated into X800 is of very high sensitivity and we were able to get GPS fix very quickly and even when the vehicle was moving: 
In the package one can find above mentioned GPS viewer software (includes compass) but also a utility to fetch satellite data from the Internet to obtain even faster GPS fix. Apart from many other features X800 has also FM radio receiver (a side-effect of having TMC traffic avoiding for GPS navigation software) that supports European, American and Japanese FM bands: 
Here are some photos taken with X800's camera in London: traditional English breakfast, skyline of London City, crossing of Tottenham Court Road with Oxford Street, a bookshelf in Foyles bookshop, Victoria Station. To test reliability we have been streaming radio over 3G network with this phone and the stream was holding over 5 hours without problems! Advantages:
