I've been using the Glofiish x500 since late November 2006. This little instrument has permitted me to retire (permanently, I'm sure) from my pockets three (3) truly superb devices: a Nokia 3650 phone, an Ipaq 4700, and a Globalstat 339 GPS receiver.

The phone section of the x500 works flawlessly for voice and GPRS/Edge transmissions. All of my PDA based programs work as well on my Glofiish as they did on my Ipaq; and I am absolutely ecstatic with the GPS performance of my Glofiish. I do a great deal of interstate travel throughout the US and the x500/Mapopolis software marriage was made in heaven for me.

I do miss the visual slickness of my Ipaq 4700's large VGA screen, but I've adjusted well to the x500 2.8" QVGA screen's color and font clarity given all of its other most laudable attributes.

I find the built-in camera w/flash to literally be "icing" on a very delicious cake!

Finally, I've encountered none of the bugs with respect to phone voice echo, failure to send or receive messages via MMS/SMS, or inability to receive GPS satellite data that have been widely reported by other early adopters. Best $550 that I've spent on electronic gadgetry in a while!
