Geek.com Reviews the TORQ P100 (E-TEN M500)
"I have been playing with the TORQ P100 for a couple of weeks, and I am having a very tough time trying to decide if I want to purchase this at a price I can safely swallow or wait to purchase the HTC Wizard (JAM 2) device for about 33% more. The one concern I have with the Wizard is the likely 195MHz processor, compared to the 400MHz variant in the TORQ."
Geek.com has just reviewed the TORQ P100 - a rebranded version of the well-known E-TEN M500 Pocket PC Phone Edition. The review is very detailed and is packed with a whole collection of pictures, so if you've been eyeballing this device for quite some time now, be sure to check this review out. The device is expected to receive the Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade at the end of the year.

Now this is something sweet. I've seen this in the real life, and compared to my PDA2K, it is small. If it would only have VGA and built-in keyboard...
(Oh wait, that's called HTC Universal....  )

I've gone over the M600 with a fine-toothed comb. Let's see:
Wifi: Check
Bluetooth: Check
128MB ROM: Check
SD: Check
It even comes in a great color and with Quad Band, which is nice.
Can it be improved upon? Hmm, faster processor? Mmmmm. Holographic display, neural control interface :wink:
Keep the price under $650 and this may be the only impulse buy err, I mean, business tool I will buy for the entire year!

Nope... not yet. Piel Frama is going to release something, but it isn't that great, unleass you really like flip cases. I don't...

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I for one regularly comment hear on ugly machines (eg MPx etc) - but no way is this an ugly device - really NICE design! I'd have one tomorrow without hesitation WiFi or no!
