We just purchased this M600 which is great. Looking for the rom upgrade 171.Can anyone help with this?? Can't use the swiss site because we didn't buy the phone through them. Does anyone know if the OS needs upgrades also?? But the phone is a great size and once it's been *figured* out will serve us well.

Same.

I've just bought a M600

I turn the phone off (flight mode) and when turning it on again, it has no service.
The only way to have service again is hard reseting it deleting registry. I always loose my settings.

Any advise?

Hi,
Have just bought the Eten M600 and have managed to get the phone into the state "Phone is powered off" according to the symbols on the Start-up guide.
So now the M600 is working as a PDA but not a phone. Please advise how to re-activate the phone. Also need the new software 171 patch and need to know how to instal it.
Appreciate the support.

As you send you tried to use software made for WM2003! The problem you are describing is not specific to M600 but it is the case with all WM5.0 PPCs or mobile phone PPCs! So its not a problem of M600 but you can only blame M$ for it!

I replaced my O2 mini with this device and I am less than happy with the performance. It crashes too often and isn't backwards compatible with most of my windows mobile 2003 software. I would not recommend this device to anyone at this stage as I don't find it as reliable as my O2 mini.

I was wondering, does anyone know whether this device can be used in the US? If so, does anyone knows what wireless carrier can this device use(Cingular, T-mobile,AT&T wireless)?

Have you aver tried the support you say? I was an ex-imate user and when they have no answer to your problem they just disconnect you! As for Jamin its another example of low processing power! HTC is a cheater! They bought thousands of cheap OMAP processors and look for victims like you to sell them. So if you dont like eten get the hell out of here! Who gives a f@@k for you and HTC? Even MSMOBILES is against HTC and most of the ex-HTC users I know they are looking for anything else than HTC models. So if you want you can enjoy watching around you while waiting you HTC to load the calendar!

imate k-jam is the slowest pda phone ever and its almost double the price of eten M600. Apart from the really awful k-jam the M600 is a winner in every benchmark against any other WM5.0 ppc mobile phone. imate just bought so many cheap OMAP processors and looking for suckers to buy them at double the price you can buy a win mobile phone with double the speed of the omap!

For those who suffers from phone freezing while accessing test messages, try deleting some of them to free up space. Apparently this would help as my friend had mentioned but I can't confirm.

Anyone who need help to find the latest ROM, could email edward.hsu@etencorp.com from ETEN. Alternately, if you are from Malaysia, you can visit the Customer Service center at the below address
TC027, TC029, 3rd Floor Sungei Wang Plaza K.L. Business hour 12:00 - 20:00, tel no. +603 2143 2648. The ROM upgrade would definetely solve most of the bugs but not all.
