Anyone try the Eten Glofiish X500

Has anyone tried the OS on the Glofiish X500.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5793.html

Actually I got this one, and have a few other qteks/ipaqs laying around too.
The screen used is the best screen I've seen in about 7 years of pda using.
Contrast is way higher and sharp, colours are rich.
The display has some colourbleeding though, if you switch from a dark screen to a light screen like the blue today screen you see a vague impression of some of the black parts of the previous screen.
I don't find it annoying at all, I hardly noticed it after a few days using.
It has an internal radio, but you got to use the headset in order to listen to it, the antenna is build into is.
This antenna isn't real sensitive, and the radio signal doesn't get pick up to well except if you use like 80% of it's length.
The device itself has realy been taken care of, aluminium details, rubber back, it a has a touch of quality to it.
You get a leather case with it which is brilliant, though I miss a beltclip on it.
You get many software on it, the best is the phone filter, which you let block certain phone numbers.
You get a battery bar too which is in the programm bar on top, at least they thought of it! But it lacks something like x-button, would have completed it.
Then you got image maker, which makes me think of paint from windows 3.11, no clue why it's there but oh well, did I say you can remove any of these single software pieces? what you don't use you can simply delete to free space So much for the extended roms of other phones of other brands.
Then there's a simple multimedia browser which let's you browse through directories and show pictures and sounds, not to bad either.
Plus there's some image wizard to add borders to pictures etc.
Then there's some mms software, which is pretty nice.
I already mentioned the call filter didn't I?
Then there are 4 profiles called "scenarios" software, it's nice but not real good, but at leat it let's you turn off the sound for a meeting.
Then there's some skype receivers switch which intergartes skype into the software, which is nice, and skype is installed too (which is 5mb and since I don't have a need for it I de-installed as first!)
Then there's some speed dial which is actually pretty nice, big buttons with name + number in it, actually use it a lot while driving.
Then there's some voice commander, though it's funny I never really used it.
The 2 mpx camera in it isn't to bad, one of the better I've seen in pocket pc's, but still it has a long way to go to be able to come close to nokia's (I'm jealous at the lenses they use in it! I really am)
The software for this camera is real good, nice big buttons for the functions and on teh case you got nice buttons to zoom, at exactly the right place.
Fron the back you can't tell if it's a pda or a camera actually!
All by all E-ten has by far the best quality I've ever seen in a pda, and the price is quite right too!
Here in the Netherlands it's only 30 euro more expensive than a htc 3300 which has about the same specs.
I wouldn't have a hard choise if I had ever to choose again between brands, E-ten is THE brand of choise for me.
Just to bad there's no E-ten x50 subforum here, really miss it.
If people want I could try to see if I can get into the extended rom and get all of these nice apps for you people.

Hi. iruja, I would like to try the eten call filtering and also the location sms sounds interesting.
How stable is the eten?
I was told the GPS is horribly slow to get a fix, can you confirm this?

I'll see if I can get into the extended rom later on.
In fact the e-ten is really stable, much more stable and more responsive than my overclocked wizard.
The gps gets turned on as soon as you start tomtom or igo, and I get a fix within 5 sec(!), being outside.
Inside the home it takes some longer, and the signal will drop from time to time to under 3 sattelites, but why would you want to navigate inside your own house anyway? (granted, maybe if you own a caste )
The gps is really sensitive and has no lag, my qtek with an external sirf III gps had a lag of about 30 meters, on my screen I would be before the turn while I was actually passed it, no such thing with the x500, could be because of the faster cpu I don't know, but both gps use the same chipset.
The only place I could think of you would get a bad signal would be around flats and high buildings, but even within Rotterdam I had no problems navigating.
In short, the gps works flawlessly for me, but can't speak for everyone.
[Edit]
The wizard solutions for unlocking the extended rom won't work on the x500, I'll try other stuff later today, maybe someone has a idea?
[/Edit]

I switched to Tytn after my X500 was repaired two times due to a faulty GPS chip. The motherboard was
replaced both times. It is a nice PDA, but has reliability and ergonomics issues. I' d suggest that you wait for X800 or X500+ , as they may be better thought out VGA devices.

I have also read that Eten will definitely be upgrading their phones to WM6 and will be providing new rom to existing users. Ya it would be great if their was a Eten subforum.

this should be the extended rom with call filter and other stuff in it

the x500 will be re-released as the x500+ soon and although identical in size it will have a VGA screen as well as WM6.

Hi iruja, just downloaded the ext.rom thank you.
I am trying some of the cabs now on my orbit, so hopefully I won't have to reset it too many times.
So far I've tried:
locationSMS, this seamed to work but when I got a GPS fix and hit send it hung for about 2 minutes and then notified me that my message could not be sent. So maybe I need a fix for that.
ScreenKB which I thought might be call screening, but that refused to install at all.
GPS Viewer which looks good and works well on the orbit.

Screen keyboard is a onscreen keyboard 2/3rd the size of the screen which allows you to quickly tap and send sms, quite nice.
Maybe some people can make an all device version of it? like o2 plus?

Have you tried message ease it looks really interesting. I will try it once I get my X500 in a week.

Well I'm just tapping with my fingers and I'm pretty fast with it, I like it better than the other thumb pads around I've seen/used so far.

Just bought one here's a pic.

Next check this will be my new device!! Like the specs, hope hardware issues wont hinder my ownership. I have wanted this device for a month, reading, rereading revues.. Hoping. Then I see pthomson's animated gif. Priceless, and here I sit speechless. Any one know the BEST price in USA?
I found
Item #: X500+
Price: $574.99
Any site better pm me plz
PS there is a forum @ eten for there device.
scarry post for me from yesterday
"Should add the memory leak problem...
Huge problem for me...
Philippe"
Any one else have memory leak issue? Just looking at the animated gif, that looks like a nice LOAD test device.

I have found a little memory loss but not bad at all. I purchased mine on ebay I have seen it sell for under 500.00.

1st Paneuropian HTC CRUISE Released in Greece

Hi all,
I just picked up my Touch Cruise from ezshop.gr – the online shop of ACE-Hellas – distributor of HTC in Greece.
Yes Cruise is available in limited quantities as they say and you can see the photos as proof.
It seems that Cruise belongs to Greece as ACE-Hellas announced it in public 3 days before HTC officially announced it to the press, in the local DTE exhibition show.
Now
The first Photos of the HTC Cruise in Europe only for XDA users

Fresh News from ezshop.gr !!
Cruise sold out already !!

Mastelos & MinOtaVrS Cruise together !!

Nice, can you provide details on what's in the box? MobilePlant/Expansys doesn't say.

If I look correctly, is the screen black?
There have been a lot of doubts about the screen, if they only have a "silver" version or also the "black" version:
<-- the black version
<-- the silver version
Is this really a difference, or is it just the light?
And how does the screen reflect? Is it too much?

in the box there ac/dc socket, usb cable, ear phones, stylus,protection sheath,cd manual.

Thanks man. Look great. Enjoy your new device.

Awesome. They make quite a pair. Both sharp looking devices. Looks like you might be able to tell us if accessories are compatible too.
One HUGE question I think everyone is wanting feedback on is video playback. Since you have an Artemis, this should also be a good comparison. Do you use the Artemis for Vids? If so, what codecs and rates do you use, and does the Polaris do a better or worse job with the same file encoding(s). I think there is a suspician that the Polaris will be similar to the Kaiser (since it uses the same chipset) and the video playback will be poor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351986
This will likely be a make or break issue for me, so any advice would be very welcome.

You have any Artemis cradles or holders? If so does it fit?

Yes the assessories of Artemis are FULL compatible with Polaris we have a brando Car holder and fits exactly..
The first impressions of vids are Perfect, Artemis lag not appears with Polaris we continue the tests and we inform u, The tube also is too fast no cracking like Artemis.

Sweet! Specifics on file encodings would be very helpful and enlightening.
Apparently the issue also affects game play. Not much for games on myself, but I know many others are very interested.

Awesome! I love the black colour that ya got. I wonder if they come in white as well.
Do let us know if you happen to try out stereo BT, and to see whether the music skips while playing high quality stereo. Most PPCs sucked in that...
Thanks!

The Sedna may not be interesting enough for the major audience simply because it is more of a plain business tool than the "usual" HTC cell phone/PDA gadget.
Yes, the Sedna has a fingerprint scanner and yes, the display is outdoor proof and can be used in bright sunlight. Yes, the Sedna plays video files without stuttering, even from a memory card. BUT: the Sedna is HUGE, like a PDA on steroids and the great outdoor display is horrible for watching videos since it looks somehow dull and the colors look washed-out.
To make it short: the Sedna may be a very interesting product from HTC but it can't do anything perfect and it definetely isn't usable for multimedia stuff, not even watching pictures. So why would people spend so much money for it if it is actually useless to them?!
With a better(more vivid) display and an extractable keyboard, the Sedna could have been a real hit. Right now it is probably exactly what HTC made it to be: a business tool for specialized applications.

So clean watchable video on a big but slightly dull screen or an irritating experience on a stuttering, slightly brighter smaller one. Not a no-brainer I'd have thought.
The WM6 keyboard is a real turn-off though. is there any chance that the finger-friendly keyboard from the Touch could be ported to the Sedna? (awful name incidentally).
And a question that's been asked elsewhere - can us poor schmucks who are stuck with sim-locked Sednas solve that problem by substituting the generic HTC roms that generous members have posted to the forum? Incidentally, the Orange UK rom (ver 1.10.61.2) seems to be a lot earlier than the generic one.
And my thanks to notisz! The p6500 may be a bit of a minority sport, but it does have real assets including a pretty good camera.

Oli told me that soon there will be a section for sedna and dont worry people oli managed to sim and cid unlock mine and now im using the rom i have found on wiki. Contact him and im sure he will help you. Also im using the pocket cm keyboard with iphone skin...much better

Yes!!
Yes it's clunky
Yes it's heavy
Yes it's Industrial
Yes it's Expensive
But I think it's Cool!
Just got mine two weeks ago and can't live without it
I carried a Blue Angel for almost 3 years and this is everything and more (except for the sliding keyboard I really didn't use that much)
It's a Blue Angel plus not 1 but 2 SDHC slots!
Add GPS, a 3MP camera and a sweet belt case from Piel Frama and I couldn't be happier
Not a perfect device as someone has said, but it's close!

Its by far the best htc model if you dont mind the size and NO VIDEO PROBLEMS. The only thing i miss now is a nice wm6.1 rom like those beautiful i use with my polaris.....Please Bepe and all other rom makers something for our sedna!!!

Double post please delete

Excellent that a forum/thread is being created! I do not own the Sedna, but I saw one in the flesh today for the first time, and although large it fits in the normal mobile phone pocket of my suit. It's got better dimensions and is lighter than the Advantage, which I've also considered. It's got a five way scroll wheel. I liked it.

Phone of the decade!!!!

As we draw near to the end of the 'noughties' i thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought was the phone of the decade.
This decade has truely been amazing in the tech its brought us, could we have imagined 10 years agao the devices we could get hold of today???
This thread isn't just about the best spec phone but (that would obviously be won be the most recent devices) but should also be about inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc.
I own a HTC hd2 which is simply an amazing phone!!! 1ghz under the hood, 4.2" capacitive screen, HTC sense etc. Saying that though i think the phone i loved the most was my tytn11. When i first got that phone it was like a car with its handbreak on! eventually the mechanics here on XDA lifted the hand break to create arguably one of the best devices of the decade?
Also as this decade cames to an end a massive thank you to all the devs here at XDA, we, HTC, and Microsoft wouldn't know what to do with out you!!! Heres to the Next 10 years, what will we have in our pockets then????????
Mods, If this thread needs to be moved somewhere please feel free to do so.

Like your thread mate, very well presented but its not the phone of the decade. seems like you jumped the gun in 2008???
Kovski - Sony Ericsson Xperia = HTC???
You are doing lots of polls but i want to know what people think? Its not a straight forward as one better than the other, its about (as i said in my first post) inovation, cult status, tech breakthroughs etc not just about people having the newest device so 'voting for that!'
I'm encouraging people to discuss their thoughts on this so this thread is b=very different to yours.
Oh and putting Please just vote do not post, even if your device is not on the list isn't the way to construct an accurate poll!!

Thanks for your constructive opinions, I got your point and you got mine
On that case I would say that the phone of the decade is HTC Universal

Devices presented on that poll from 2008 are older (some from 2003)

Agreed, that is a cracking phone!
Thanks for the reply mate, like i said your threads are great really good work

Y'know, technically there's still another year of the current decade left.

Mine is....
My phone of choice is the palm treo 700w. It was the first phone to get me hooked on wm. Since then i have had the tp, and now i have the tp2 and hoping to get one of my hands on that beautiful hd2. Happy almost Christmas.

HTC's Magician
phone of the decade= HTC's Magician
why= First phone that blew my mind, so small and powerfull (backthen ) 400 mhz, faster than my ipaq!!! I still have the orange m500 version as paper weight I believe the Magician is the true first mainstream smartphone.

For me it is the Apple Iphone due to it pushed mobility to the next decade.

Nokia N95.
Close the thread!
Seriously, 5MP camera, GPS, music, browser, email - it had it all before any other phone did. Some are still trying to catch up. It's a clear winner!

Although i do hate it its impact on the mobile phone market is undoubted, coukld well go down as the most influential phone of the decade. However there were some serious smart phones out way before the iphone,

This device was/is packed full of features but lacked......... class? again when this first came out it had a big impact. Issues let it down a bit i think like the fact that the gps was locked to Nokias own navigation software, not much software for it, and the build quality (to me) was terrible?

I have the HD2 but have to agree on the Nokia N95.
The camera is better than any other phone out there still, HD2 comes close though.
It's a bloody tough phone! My brother has dropped his millions of times, cracking the screen and everything and the thing still worked.

Looks like apple is having the same problems as google did with the WIFI there.
You would think that apple would of done something about concidering they came weeks after google and had to of watched their presentation.
And it looks like they won't be able to show some of the key features on the iphone 4... On day one it already gets a black eye.

Move to Off Topic
Respectfully, I don´t think this information is relevant to XDA

Farm ville on iPhone

oh okay orb no problem, xda is a win mob fan site (Me too ) but same time there are some apple fan boys here. This might be useful for them ha ha

It is relevant as most users here are used to phone hardware that is far more advanced than the iPhone.
Not anymore. Yes iPhone OS still sucks and of course there is no hardware keyboard, but the new phones display alone is enough to make me a little jealous. 960x640 makes the 800x480 screen on my Rhodium feel like QVGA. When will WE get display's like this? WinMo obviously never will, and WP7 only supports up to 800x480.
I assume Android could support this resolution, but when? Imagine the HD2's 4.3" display at 960x640! LCD pr0n it would be. HTC needs to get on this quickly.

Wow impressive, Video chat over wi-fi and the app which enables this is FaceTime. Cool.

video chat and the book apps is just bs. On the other hand - the screen, the camera (+LED flash), the processor, and the antenna seem like good innovations. Hate to say it, but... Well done, Apple.

You are right mate

I really hate to sound even a tiny bit pro Apple but what exactly about this new iPhone is fail? Besides the screen size it meets or bests the HD2 in the hardware department. The 960x640 resolution is well beyond anything HTC has produced (or plans to?); considering one of the main perks of our WinMo and Android phones has been the high resolution screens this point alone is pretty important.
Imagine Android hacked onto this new iPhone. Might make it arguably the best non-hardware-keyboard phone out there currently.
Hardware keyboard is still a requirement for me so it is an obvious no go. HTC has some catching up to do now, I do hope they soon announce a new Android phone with as high of a greater a resolution (and screen size, obviously) than the new iPhone.

I agree with MooGoo, further what i have heard is this new iPhone 4G has only 256 MB Ram and dont know how they though that they are going to do multitasking with that?? Either the Phone will slow down or battery power leak or can't open as many application as on win mob. But who knows may be they have done something innovative for that too.

Hardware seems nice. Software is disappointing though, I was expecting them to more towards the cloud a bit more and maybe cut that iTunes leash.
