Review: Eten Glofiish X610

JakeRich — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:37:55 +0000

The Eten Glofiish X610 is an entry-level smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the SPB menu system installed as default, a GPS receiver built in and a two-megapixel camera. It is a quad band phone with GSM/EDGE support, GPRS/EGPRS Class B, Multi-slot Class 10, using a Samsung SC3 2442 400 Mhz processor with a 2.8 inch QVGA screen. The camera is 2 megapixels with fixed focus CMOS technology. The X610 has WiFi for 11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 and a built in SirfStarIII GPS receiver. The battery is 1530 mAh. The unit is 107×48x14.7 mm, weighs 136 grams. That works out to 4.2×1.9×0.6 inches and 4.8 ounces. I used it on my AT&T net as a phone, as a PDA and as a camera. Overall, it worked pretty well. It does have a few quirks, but as an entry level device, it’s a good option.

You can see Chris’ unboxing video here. It’s a 15 minute video, so I’ll wait here while you go watch…

OK, welcome back. Chris had some observations and experiences that I can comment on. He pointed to the micro-SD slot on the bottom of the unit and wondered how that would work out. I can report that it worked very well. The slot is deep enough that the card goes in completely so that it is slightly indented from the bottom of the phone. To remove the card you press in and it pops out slightly so that you can get your finger on the little lip. I had it pop out completely once and fly across my desk before I could catch it, but most of the time it just popped out a couple of millimeters. I do have good fingernails, so if you have problems in that area, you can use the stylus to press it in.

E-Ten X610 and V900 Coming Soon

Chris Leckness — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:10:51 +0000

E-Ten is coming to the table with another couple Windows Mobile 6.1 devices.

The Glofiish X610 (below left) seems to be more of an entry level, sleek phone. It will have a 400mhz processor, 128 MB Flash ROM, 64 MB SDRAM, 2.8" Screen, and Windows Mobile 6.1, but the one thing that might hurt this one is the lack of 3G. It is a quad band GSM phone, but it will have only EDGE.

The Glofiish V900 (above right) is packing some power though. It will have a 533mhz Processor, 256 MB Flash ROM, 128 MB SDRAM, HSDPA, 2.8" Screen, and it too has Windows Mobile 6.1 loaded. This quad band phone is styled quite a bit different than the X610 and has an antenna for it’s FM radio. To round out this impressive sounding phone, it also comes with a TV out cable and a 3 Megapixel camera.

Check back for more info and 1st impressions…

E-TEN wins Best Choice with Glofiish DX900

Jack Cook — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:35:13 +0000

First dual-SIM handset, mobile TV handset, and two great new models for consumers

E-TEN has been awarded the Best Choice of Computex Award 2008 for its innovative new Glofiish DX900 – the first dual-SIM Windows Mobile handset to support HSDPA and EDGE. The DX900 is being showcased at the E-TEN booth along with three more industry-leading Pocket PC Phones – the Glofiish V900 the first to support mobile TV, the Glofiish X900 for consumers who demand the best, and the great value Glofiish X610.

E-TEN has launched four new Pocket PC Phones and earned the prestigious Best Choice of Computex Award for its new Glofiish DX900 – the world’s first dual-SIM & dual standby Windows Mobile handset to support HSDPA and EDGE. The DX900 is a simple solution to an increasingly in-demand requirement for consumers who need access to two mobile communications services, but don’t want to carry around two devices at the same time. The DX900 allows users to have uninterrupted access to two separate phone services, for example one for business and one personal, or one for calls and another for data, in a single device. Frequent business travelers can use local SIM card and home SIM card in the same device.

The Glofiish DX900 features support for both high-speed 3.5G (UMTS/HSDPA) and 2G (GSM/EDGE) communications, as well as GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity, a high-resolution VGA display, and a 3-megapixel auto-focus camera.

The Glofiish V900 marks the premier of mobile digital TV to E-TEN’s Pocket PC lineup, allowing users to keep up-to-date with the latest news, TV shows and sports, even when on the move. The V900 boasts an ultra-sharp VGA display and supports multiple standards including DVB-T/H and T-DMB/DAB meaning the thrill of over-the-air TV can be enjoyed almost anywhere around the world.

For consumers who demand the best mobile experience, the Glofiish X900 delivers blisteringly-fast UMTS/HSDPA connectivity ideal for high-speed web-browsing, video streaming, and VoIP calls, and allows documents, web-pages, pictures and video to be enjoyed on its clear VGA display.

Finally, the Glofiish X610 offers both value and functionally in a sleek handset that’s perfect for GPS navigation and everyday communications.

In addition to industry-leading hardware innovations and the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, all the new handsets feature a new touch interface that revolutionizes the way users interact with their Glofiish phones though gestures, finger-friendly icons and 3D animations.
