E-TEN Glofiish X650 VGA & GPS Goodness!
E-TEN Information Systems has announced the Glofiish X650, the company’s latest Pocket PC Phone to offer the benefits of all-in-one connectivity, VGA display, and an ultra-compact form factor.
E-TEN first introduced the option for a VGA display in May and since then has added several more models to its product lineup aimed at different customer needs. The latest X650 is designed to appeal to those seeking a compact, full-featured device that is also affordable.
The greater VGA resolution (four times higher than your typical QVGA Pocket PC Phone) enables …
a larger proportion of a document, calendar, map, or web page etc. to be displayed on screen at once, increasing productivity. Additionally, the higher pixel density means that text appears sharper and easier to read while pictures and video appear more detailed. VGA is set to become one of the key specifications for Pocket PC Phones in the coming year.
The Glofiish X650 features E-TEN’s all-in-one connectivity solution comprising of worldwide GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. The device all comes preloaded with E-TENs exclusive software suite including Mobile Shell, Namecard Manager and Backup Utility as well as Microsoft Office Mobile, Windows Live and other utilities.
Specifications of the X650 include a Samsung SC3 processor at 500Mz, 256MB ROM, 2-megapixel auto-focus camera, FM Tuner, and FM Transmitter (subject to region). Dimensions of the handset are an ultra-compact 107 x 58 x 14.7mm with a weight of just 139g.
The Glofiish X650 is offered in two color choices, black and purple, and should be available worldwide in two to three weeks.

I’ve seen a physical set of this device as well as M800. I must say E-TEN has come a long way and now they seem to be doing quite a good job on the design with M800 and X650. In fact, I find the designs much prettier than offerings from the likes of HP, HTC and O2. The next step to look forward to would be to see 128MB RAM in their devices. Hopefully it will happen this year.
I agree, the 128MB RAM is a nice addition. But the downside is: power consumption must take a hit with VGA & larger RAM.
