Got this device a week ago. Pretty impressive, finally someone has created a device which is feature packed and is not laggy or hanging at all. The device is rather fast and is able to multi-task easily. I am able to run the GPS, a phone call, Radio, and Wi-Fi surf at the same time. No delay and prompt response in switching. Does not come with most basic functions, but then again I have bought a number of softwares from online just to add them back.
The phone is good for Pocket PC users, pretty straightforward usage of general functions. A total hassle when it comes to configuring, took me forever to configure the wi-fi, bluetooth etc. even with the manual. They made the configurating options very badly. Its almost like an engineer is required for that.
Besides, that the phone has a good video recorder, picture quality is acceptable. Speaker not as loud as I expected it to be. Battery life is very good. Used abt 4-4.5 hours with gps on navigation. Talk time is about 6 hours.

My friend used to have a PDA2k and like you never used the keyboard, but when he bought the kjam he couldnt stop using the keyboard.
I believe that the keyboard on the PDA2K is a bad one,which is why u never used it. Whereas the one on the kjam, similar to the one on this phone the X500, is a good one.

I believe that there is much talk about nothing in this page. This device clearly rocks and its price is more reachable than many others. It is also setting a new category for others to follow. GPS+GSM+WIFI+BLUETOOTH.
Also ETEN is selling Destinator 6 and iGo for a reason. They are compatible. I think iGo is the best navigation software by the way.

I had a PDA2K for more than 2 years, I never used the hard keyboard not even once, I always use the soft keyboard.
and I think the X500 looks old, stupid and ugly.

I think the guy who wrote such a negative post about this device bought the htc too quickly and now he is really disapointent so he need to send this kind of post to make him feel better. No dude this is a relly nice device...in fact i would say is probably the best pice of gadget in the marquet at the moment. Now I dont realy know what to do ..as you probably know the eten glofiish m700 is coming soon wich is basicly the same as the x500 but with an embedded keyboard. My question is the follow. I`ve never own a pda with keyboard. If anyone has own one before. Is it really funtional? is it relly worth to add some thikness for the keyboard?
Thanks in advanced

4 UPDAQuest - See this review: http://smartmania.mobilmania.c...iew&iden=158
I guess you won't understand much of it, but you can see clearly that DESTINATOR-6 works fine on x500. I'm sure any other GPS software will work just fine with this sweet gadget. Mine has just been shipped from www.mobileplanet.com

Of course it's not on 'comming soon' status any more.
In Poland it's widely available.
Owners say it workes well, only minor shortcomings. The most important I read about was WiFi failure, bad SIM card recognition when operating on different settings then default and the leather case included in package does not have a beltclip :)
The good thing is that the producer releases new ROMs from time to time.

Though this is like answering a question with a question, does anyone have theirs yet to lend out to test out some navigation software other than Route66 ;-)
Or perhaps you can ask gpspassion who is the kind gentleman sharing the experiences with these devices at the http://www.gpspassion.com/foru...70203#429266 site.

Good news, 4H3v, look at the Eten M700 http://www.gsmarena.com/eten_g...700-1788.php , which has both the slide out keyboard and touchscreen/stylus input.
