E-TEN Glofiish X650 officially announced January 10, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. While we have reviewed recently E-TEN Glofiish X600 (2G ultra-small phone with QVGA display and GPS) and E-TEN Glofiish X800 (3G small phone with VGA display and GPS), here comes yet another model from E-TEN - a 2G ultra-small phone with VGA display (!!!) and GPS. Obviously not everybody is even using mobile Internet, particularly due to overpriced tariffs in some countries and for sporadic mobile browsing EDGE support in X600 and X650 is more than enough... While HTC still refuses to put VGA (640x480 pixels) display into small-size Windows Mobile phones, with X650 the E-TEN is already introducing ultra-small size, low-end, phones with VGA display! Information from E-TEN follows. * * * * * E-TEN announces Glofiish X650 Brings the benefits of VGA to the value Pocket PC Phone segment E-TEN Information Systems has announced the Glofiish X650, the company's latest Pocket PC Phone to offer the benefits of all-in-one connectivity, VGA display, and an ultra-compact form factor. E-TEN first introduced the option for a VGA display in May 2007 and since then has added several more models to its product lineup aimed at different customer needs. The latest X650 is designed to appeal to those seeking a compact, full-featured device that is also affordable. A VGA display offers several significant benefits to the user. The greater resolution (four times higher than that of a typical Pocket PC Phone) enables a larger proportion of a document, calendar, map, or web page etc. to be displayed on screen at once, increasing productivity. Additionally, the higher pixel density means that text appears sharper and easier to read while pictures and video appear more detailed. VGA is set to become one of the key specifications for Pocket PC Phones in the coming year. The Glofiish X650 features E-TEN's all-in-one connectivity solution comprising of worldwide GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. The device all comes preloaded with E-TENs exclusive software suite including Mobile Shell, Namecard Manager and Backup Utility as well as Microsoft Office Mobile, Windows Live and other utilities. Specifications of the X650 include a Samsung SC3 processor at 500Mz, 256MB ROM, 2-megapixel auto-focus camera, FM Tuner, and FM Transmitter (subject to region). Dimensions of the handset are an ultra-compact 107 x 58 x 14.7mm with a weight of just 136g. The Glofiish X650 is offered in two color choices, black and purple.
