Default E-TEN M600 Launched in Taiwan; Worldwide English Launch Due in November

http://www.etencorp.com/products/Co...ication/600.php

"The M600 runs on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile software platform. This new, state-of-the-art device offers users greater productivity and more appealing entertainment choices through enhanced, integrated multimedia options and an upgraded Mobile Office suite. Built-in Wireless LAN technology, allows M600 users to connect with all of their contacts through Skype telephony anytime or anywhere they can access a Wireless LAN connection. With the M600, you can be connected to every corner of the world in the least expensive way."



A couple of E-TEN M600 news updates: To kick things off, the device was officially made available in Taiwan today. Details of the device have just gone up on the E-TEN website. Those of you hoping to pick up an English version of the device won't have long to wait. If all goes to plan, it'll be here in a couple of weeks.

I've seen it listed on a couple of online stores for $800-ish CAD. As a side note, apparently it has USB-host!!! (for those of that use that - this is GREAT!)

Very nice, just about everything I want, really like the SD rather than mini-sd. Only VGA is missing :cry: Are there any VGA phone devices (other than the JASJAR) coming out?

I got to have a play with the JASJAR and K-JAM last Friday, I'm really sold on the VGA, and possibly on the keyboard too (my first PDA, hp95lx, had a very usable keyboard) but the JASJAR is just a little too big.

Nope. Taiwan doesn't have an EDGE network, and since E-TEN is based there, it's easy to see why EDGE support isn't a priority with this device.

In Taiwan, it's selling for $21,900 TWD, which translates to around $650 USD.

If you're after an English version, you're better off not buying it from Taiwan and instead purchasing it from an online store such as Expansys who have English customized versions. You can't switch between languages yourself, since the EULA doesn't allow for it.
