    hi.
    anyone with any info on the new eten glofiish x500 due out later this month.

    from what i have read the specs are outstanding:
    discrete form factor
    approx. 15mm thick
    wifi b and g
    sirfstar III gps
    bluetooth 2.0
    gsm/gprs/edge (no 3g though)
    fm radio
    samsung 400mhz processor
    2.8 inch screen.

    the htc artemis/3300 is the only device i can think of with the same number of radios but it has a weaker processor.

    and given eten's good reputation with their previous devices i'm wondering will this device be a "killer" ppc-phone.
    anyone with any other info on reviews, pricing, availability etc?

    yeah.
    most if the stuff i read about it on the net is positive. only thing it lacks is 3g i suppose really. not mad about the design either tbh but still...

    anyway it's on the expansys site atm. they'll be doing it for €679 iirc from the end of november. i'll probably get it then if reviews are good.

    btw how do you think it compares to your beloved atom :)

    You just had to go to the bad place, didn't you? :D

    Everything I want in a phone (don't need 3G) and it has GPS. If I had a known this was on it's way, I would probably have held off buying the atom.

    Ah, sure that's the way with gadgets - there's always a better one just around the corner.
