E-Ten Glofiish X500 review

The Swiss Army knife of the handheld world

Excellent connectivity ; Versatile set of features

No included GPS software ; Too few actual buttons

Scores well in most areas, but doesn't quite blow us away in any of them

E-Ten Glofiish X500

The X500 is a light smartphone in an already crowded smartphone marketplace. Using a simple chassis, the screen takes up the majority of available space, with a few buttons surrounding it. Interaction is via the stylus and touch sensitive screen

Decent screen resolution, Good bundled software

Expensive with a plasticky feel

Buying a different phone and a GPS add-on could be cheaper than the X500

E-ten Glofiish X500 plus

The Glofiish X500+ is E-ten's latest foray into the Windows Mobile device arena, with a few tweaks from the X500 original - such as improved display and camera functionality. And on paper, it makes a very enticing proposition indeed

E-Ten Glofiish X500+

E-TEN's latest Windows Mobile powered smartphone features GPS sat-nav built in and heaps more software.…

The built-in GPS sat-nav works very well

The glofiish X500+ is not the smallest Pocket PC, nor is it the least expensive

Thanks to a combination of hardware and software features that are difficult to beat, the sheer ebullience of what is on offer deserves a second glance.

Eten Glofiish X500 Review

The X500 is high-tech pocket assistant with great functionality. It brings wireless network and GPS navigation in slim stylish body with average size. Its 400MHz processor beats its rivals and its 2-megapixel camera is a good performer for this class....

Slimmest PPC with both GPS (with SirfStarIII chipset) and Wi-Fi built in (up to date) ; 400MHz Samsung processor ; High contrast and brightness display ; Long battery life

Uncomfortable D-pad ; Lack of 3G high-speed data ; Weak signal reception ; Incoming and outgoing sound quality not great

REVIEW: E-TEN Glofiish X500+ Windows Mobile 6 Professional Smartphone
