Default E-TEN P700 Pocket PC Phone Edition

http://www.eten.com.tw/English/products/P700.asp

Anyone heard of E-TEN? I haven't, but the hardware specs on their Phone Edition device are impressive. It's hard to get too excited about this though - I've seen some amazing technology built in Taiwan, only to see it languish there without a North American company willing to bring it over here. Hopefully the P700 will be a different story!

Jason,

By following the link on the page to a Chinese page, it confirmed my speculation about this company E-Ten. It's the exact one that used to be dominating the Chinese (input/display )sub system in the DOS era. The Traditional Chinese input method is still my favorite and is part of the standard input methods on Windows OSes.

Jason, are you sure about the SDIO plus CF I slots? I think I recall that they first announced it to come with just a CF slot and later on changed that to SDIO... Maybe your Chinese is better than mine to confirm that :lol:

Slight problem is that in that picture, it's not running Pocket PC Phone Edition.

Holy sh*t it even has a transflective screen. You'll notice that they went to the bother of mentioning it is backlit.....after that how could you not like this device. It even has USB host

I think the Paragon cellular network may have to get fired up on a GSM network just to bring this device to North America.......Any partners out there?

Dave

edit.....woops the PDF says it is frontlit reflective. Here we go again! I can feel it in my bones. Is it, or isn't it?

Oh men! and I still waiting for the Samsung SPH-i700 (http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?id=191). 8O

If it wasn't for the unlimited data that Sprint offers, I'll be switching to GSM/GPRS right now.
