The phone has it all, but is prone to some mechanical defects-i.e. the touch screen.
Does anyone know when I can have my screen repaired in the U.S.? thanks

i got my eten six months ago. i am completely satified and recommends it to everyone who likes their gadget to have these capabilities; a phone with wireless capabilities, plays music, take pictures and videos, takes notes with word mobile and with voice recording, easily syncs with desktops, but most of all able to work with a lot of different programs like, nursing softwares and other great stuff. i won't trade it with a fancy cell phone and an ipod because it gives me a lot more. thanks and God bless!

**********WARNING*********
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES.
***YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED***

This device has been released to the market with A LOT of SERIOUS bugs:
- GSM calls drop all of a sudden for no apparent reason,
- screen alignment fails pretty often,
- backup battery breaks after a few months of usage,
- plastic materials become loose and break after a few months of usage,
- sound quality is really low, patches do not solve the problem.
- bluetooth doesn't work normally, a lot of bugs in the bluetooth stack.

It's been a few months since the last software update/patch/bug fix, ETEN has probably forgot about this device's existence as we speak. Speaking of which - ETEN's customer support (if such a thing exists) is a JOKE. Your only friend is your one-year warranty and the vendor you bought the device from. Oh, and Google of course.

If you're still looking into throwing away your money into one of these devices, give them to me instead - I'd love to sell you mine....

I have an ETEN M600 for 3 months now. All in all I am pretty dissapointed with it.
- serious alignment problems. As you know, the main interface of the phone is its touch-sensitive-display, and if it does not work right you cannot use the equipment. (I use ROM 225 version, but it had the same problem with previous versions)
- below average quality of sound when used as telephone (both on bluetooth headset and on mic/speakers)
- works only on open WLANs. If the network is passworded it looses the connection every 2 seconds.
Advice: Try other manufacturers, this is dissapointing.

I've had my eten m600 for 3 months, I had to change it because:
- the screen could not complete the initial alignment process after a hard reset.
- most of its buttons started malfunctioning.
- the system freezes up when receiving any sms!!
- the whole plastic case started to be loose and fell apart.
- The system takes so long time to reconnect to GSM network after getting disconnected.
- call sound was so bad!!.

I have had M600 since Dec 2005 and I am very satisfied. It comes with ROM 170 then I update 171, now I have 225 updated yesterday! No problem. I have Navigon Mobile navigator 5 in M600 with Navibe Bluetooth GPS and Parrot Rhythm n' Blue car stereo with built-in bluetooth handsfree and all plays together very well. Best buy for me! Only minus is very poor camera

It is very fragile, my friend and me bought it last year, my friend M600 failed after 1 month, it took him 8 weeks to get it back. Mine failed 3 months ago, took also 8 weeks
to repair. Very frustrated, it fails again. The screen mis-align all the time make it impossible to use. Do Not Buy This Phone!

I don't know what all these other people are talking about, other than with the exception of the touchscreen alignment going SLIGHTLY off, but this is an amazing phone. I've used it without fail, through 2 ROM upgrades for months, and the WiFi, reception, PDA features, and all the software I can install on it make this phone tops in my book.

When i bought this phone, i have tought that this is what i looking for. But after a few months (6 months) after i upgrade it into 230 ROM, the touch screen gone mad, the accuracy is s*#ks. Then i downgrade the ROM, but the problem is still the same. I think better if i change into HP6828...
