phoneArena Reviews the E-TEN G500
"The target market for the G500 are users who want in-car navigation, Pocket PC and phone in one device. The device combines all the necessary features needed - superb GPS functionality, thanks to the SIRF III chipsets; Windows Mobile 5 operating system and interface, fast 400 MHz processor, and large/bright display. I do not see the lack of Wi-Fi as major drawback since it can be added as add-on card. The only major drawback of the G500 as it was with the M600 is the lack fast data such as EDGE."
There's another review of the E-TEN G500 - this time, over at phoneArena - and a lot of pictures to go with it (if you're into that sort of thing). Do any of you own this device (or the TORQ clone, the N100)? If so, lay down your thoughts!

I can give up the wifi without too much issue. I never seem to have difficulty getting wifi to work with a laptop and use it every day, but something about a PPC and wifi, I am rarely successful. However, I'm not willing to give up EDGE or EVDO. I connect to the internet often via the cell phone and plan to do more so in the future.
