It's a Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Pocket PC Phone) that's loaded to the max, including an internal GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, 2 megapixel camera and a VGA display. How is it different from the X500? The + has a VGA display (still a rarity in Windows Mobile phones) rather than the standard QVGA and the camera adds a macro focus function for taking photos of business cards. When we reviewed the X500 it came with Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 6 is now available for that model. The X500+ ships with Windows Mobile 6, the latest version of Microsoft's OS for PDAs and smartphones. The X500+ also adds a black soft touch finish, but otherwise keeps that angular slab look that won't win beauty contests. Since the X500+ is otherwise identical to the recently reviewed X500, this review will re-use some of the X500's text for unchanged features."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20070717-glofiishx500pl.jpg" /><br /><br />Still deciding whether the X500+ is the right phone for you? Head over to <a href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/Glofiish-X500-plus.htm">MobileTechReview</a> to see what Lisa has to say. It covers the more general aspects of the device, so if you prefer a detailed X500 vs X500+ comparison (as requested by quite a few of our readers), keep your eyes open for our upcoming review.
