If you needed a smartphone / PDA phone and a GPS you bought the iPAQ or carried two devices. Choice is good, and E-TEN brings a very capable device to market that out-performs the iPAQ in several ways. Though it lacks the 6515's built-in thumb keyboard and faster EDGE data, the G500 does offer a higher resolution display (key for map viewing), a faster CPU and the newer Windows Mobile 5 operating system."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_mobiletechreview_eten_G500.jpg" /><br /><br />If you're looking for an all-in-one PocketPC / Phone / GPS device but were turned off by HP's iPaq 65xx/67xx offerings, then you may want to take a look at Lisa Gade's review of this device. It's quite Tron-like in its styling, no? Anyone out there own this device? Give us your thoughts!

I would have been all over this if it had Wi-Fi. On the plus side, I've heard it's just as snappy as the M600, which itself is one of the fastest Windows Mobile 5.0 devices in the market.

I actually spent some time with the G500 and have a review in the works.
