I just forgot some other thoughts about it.
It's beautiful but not gorgeous, the design and the keys are good enought, so you wont be pissed of or angry at it while using it.
The screen is the best screen I have seen, even comparing it to Iphone and PSP. The sound is a little low, but you have a fix for it in ETEN USERS forum too.
The processor is very fast and with 3rd party apps like Core Player 1.2.2 and Igo for GPS it can play videos perfectly (although not full res 640x480, it lacks just a little punch, skipping some frames, but 320x240 already looks marvellous) and use GPS really fast.
Again, if you don't want to change anything in a device, get HTC cruise, if you a re willing to try something and change it to your way, get this, it's better.
The battery is fine, I'm a heavy user and it lasts for 2 days with this use, not like a SonyEricsson 5 days, but for this kind of device, it is very good.
P.S: Update the (GSM radio) better reception (which was already good), and better speeds in 3g (which where so-so before it)

I have this phone and I must say that it is not for the normal person. I'm a geek and AFTER the CHANGES you can do to it, it is WAY BETTER than any HTC even the cruise. The way ti comes from ETEN it is overloaded with apps you will never need, if you look at the forums of ETEN USERS you'll find the fix for the slowdown when you touch the screen, and new ROMS for it. The screen touch fix is the best thing for this phone, makes it way faster than any HTC I have ever used (several, since I work for a mobile operator). The new roms are really good, and clean without all the crap Eten throws at you. Doing that I'm very pleased with this device and won't change it for nothing else on the market today. If you can't or wont change ROMS or install fixes, run from this phone, if you do it, I can't recommend anything else.

Overall I like this phone. I don't have a lot of 3rd party apps on it so it runs ok. I do find it somewhat slow. As a negative, the phone is finicky and I sometimes have to do a soft reset. But I find all the WM phones that I've owned, I've had to do a soft reset every now and then.

Bought this phone kept it for a day and returned it a day letter. Too slow and freezes, reminds me of imate phones. Anyone reading this please tell me why would anyone buy this phone when you have the option of the htc cruise.

it seems the joystick that sticks out is a failure. a similar feature to the newer phones would have been more appropriate, and the lack of comment on battery life is a drawback, indicating a short battery life. otherwise, i would have bought this phone.

I own 5 PPC's including this one. This is the slowest one that I have. Even slower from a 4 years old I-mate.
It cannot open more than 2 applications and it is very often needs a hard reset.
Sound quality is poor.
Recmmended only for guys with strong nerves...

This is my 3rd PPC phone that i've owned and a first for the 3G/HSDPA handset. On first look, i quite like the look of it. I wouldnt say its ugly at all. A few people have said that its Slow yes indeed that its slow but your not on it like a computer. I've managed to delete pretty much all the Eten Software that came with the phone which made it a little bit faster. I just left the main ones such as Video Call, etc, etc. My conclusion, i quite like it especially the GPS (I use it with TomTom 6) Nice design, and looks to be quite solid.
As for the mp3 sms notification, Nope it cant be done. Only Supported files are WMA/WAV and more. Just copy the clip to the Windows folder on the Unit, Then select the tone via sounds/notification.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if you can change the message tone? I know you can change the ringtone to an mp3, but can you change the message tone to an mp3?

The I-mate is a piece of brick!!! 18mm thick only 2.8 inch screen and 3MP camera - huge with outdated features - are you kidding?
There are at least 5 phones better and smaller - but I guess you work for.....

Too slow, too buggy -
- I really think ETEN canīt fix all problems with the next version (X900?)
Obviously, the X800 is totally f... up unit.
It had great potentials but as time went by ETEN failed to address the problems and the meantime iphone, samsung, etc came out or just about to come out with WORKING units.
it is a shame.
