HI. I finally have my 1st pocket pc. And its x800 eten. Here it is my obs:
- If you dont install anything, the phone is great. work just great,
- VGA is very cool but dont try to see movies on it, too slow;
- in some aplications you can see the processor is slow. But a friend of mine as a HTC and i think the slow its the same. Hoppe the next generation processors would be faster, this one just cant suport VGA :( ; so it as vga but just to internet and menus;
Dont aspect mutch of this phone in term of velocity. I have bought, iam happy but i dont need a loot of things on it. A good calendar, email sincro, pdf and word reader, and for me its ok.
Hope i coudl help any of you.
Thank

Good GPS, size, price, and VGA screen.
There were some bugs, but Eten try best to update the new ROM, X800 will be more better than before with new ROM, I feel good about this device.

Great specs, good size anfd nice screen!

BUT, too many bugs!!!!!

No HSDPA support!!! Incorrect specifications given and posted everywhere.

Very poor quality control.

By he time if ever this unit becomes relatively reliable it will be outdated.

Sorry because it is probably the best on paper right now.

There is no dialing buttons. No SKYPE. And some bugs! I was intended to buy it, gave up after learning more.

The X800 has got bad press from forums like this by people who don't know how to use and troubleshoot devices. As laid out on the eten-users.eu forum, one simple tweak (increasing font cache size) dramatically improves performance of this device. The VGA screen is gorgeous, it has run everything I want it to run, and all functions work flawlessly. I don't have all the random reboots, network issues, etc. that everyone else seems to have. I think they either got the phone from an unreliable seller or just don't know much about technology.

So far so good . I love this phone so much . GPS and FM work very fast sometime you have to reset the phone because not enough memory
If you like to turn off the phone you have to turn off GSM network first I don't problem turn my phone off

I guess few people bought this device, there are few detailed reviews. “Glofiish” as name is absolutely not attractive for westerns, they should change the name and the case design, in rest it should be fine as set of features.

I'm very tempted by this device, but I wonder if anyone who has the deveice could answer a few questions that I have seen posted elsewhere:

1-Is it correct that you cannot actually turn off the device withouth removing the battery and the power button only puts it into "hibernate" mode?

2-Ive seen quite a few other posts suggesting that this, contrary to advertising, doesn't properly support HSDPA browsing Speeds-is this correct?

3- I have read the manual online (yes that is sad!) to see the device details and it looks like the phone charges via a charging cradle type device, I assume that this means the device does not have a mini USB socket-does it?

4-Does the GPS contain maps-if so, what regions are covered?

Thanks

There should be a patch for HCSD cards up to 8Gb wich worked fine for the Glofiish X500 and X500+. Not sure it works for the X800.

Eten doesn't mention about this model on its web site

http://www.etencorp.com/produc...on/index.php

It means that this cell phone has some problems and they aren't sure about its success.
