A Look at the E-TEN M600
These Chinese to English online translations are always terrible so I'm sure most of you are just interested in seeing the pictures. ePrice Taiwan has just published a short hands-on article on the E-TEN M600, which was announced at Computex a few days ago. This 111.7mm x 60.7mm x 22.0mm device sports a 2.8" 65K-colour QVGA screen, a Samsung S3C2440 400MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, GPRS/GSM - Quad-Band, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an SDIO slot, a 1.3MP camera, a 1440mAh Li-Ion battery, Windows Mobile 5.0, and for interest's sake, Skype as well. Any of you have your eye on this one?

Looks extremely attractive and cool!! It is a miracle that Eten can fit so many things into a small device. All the new upcoming Pocket PC phones make me drool.  pclove: :drool: :rotfl: There are just too many new device coming out recently. Which one is the best anyway? HTC Universal?

It occurs to me that if MS can make WM good enough they can make it very easy for small OEM's to chop the top of Nokia et al's high end revenue, in the same way that a large number of WM OEM's took on Palm.

Nice, but will it be coming to North America? I'm desperately tempted to buy a Windows Mobile Smartphone, but so many of these devices are either not coming until late next this year/early next, or not coming to the US. Talk about frustration! :|

This unit felt pretty good holding it, both to use as a PDA and as a phone, but it was pretty darn ugly.
I did talk to them about their plans to bring it to the USA, and they said that they didn't have any because of all the red tape and restrictions the FCC puts on imported units. Don't hold your breath waiting for this one boys...

Darn it, it's a pretty sweet looking unit. I'd seriously consider buying one.

I have the M500 and it's a great device except it gets horrible reception compared to my previous PDA2K. Don't know why that is but that would be the only thing that would prevent me from upgrading to this device.
I would think that you could get this device in the US by ordering from the UK as I did with the M500. Makes support a bit of a headache but luckily I haven't needed it so far.
