E-TEN Glofiish X500+ Reviewed
Posted by Elrendhel on 11/8/07 in ETEN, Mobilitysite Reviews, Pocket PC Phones, Windows Mobile 6
I had the pleasure of reviewing this incredible PDA, the E-TEN “Glofiish” X500+, which has added features like a 640×480 VGA, GPS via SiRFstar III, and a wonderfully useful application set.
When I first heard the rumors about the E-TEN “Glofiish” X500+ back in late 2006, I was smitten by the initial specifications! This device sounded like it could very-well be my “holy grail” PocketPC: a converged device that featured a Cell-phone, Full PDA, Integrated Camera, Integrated GPS, and most of all, a VGA screen, all in one device! Woo-hoo!
I was overjoyed to confirm later in February 2007 some additional facts, such as:
1.) The X500+ would come with Windows Mobile 6 Professional,
2.) It’s GPS would be SiRFStar III, and support TMC (Traffic Message Channel).
3.) The Camera would be CMOS based (not CCD!), have a 2-MegaPixel capacity, as well as a camera Flash!
4.) The addition of an integrated FM Radio and stereo earbuds that would act as the Radio antenna.
5.) Support for both WiFi “b” and “g”, as well as Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate).

Does that new ROM fix the PIN reset problem? I’ve been using my x500+ for 2 months, and that problem is the one thing that’s going to force me to replace it with something else. I tried the .cab file fix, but as soon as my device was level 1 hard reset, the PIN was locked out again, so the file didn’t seem to fix it!
Please someone tell me!
My phone did the whole level 1 hard reset thing AGAIN today, and this time in the middle of a call. Battery was almost full too, so it wasn’t running out of juice that did it.
I really want to like this phone, but when I regularly lose all my data and configuration, that’s a problem.
Worse still, this is actually my second x500+. The first one also had the reset problem ( happened 3 times ) and eventually had to be returned because of a defective USB charging port.
What’s the point in publishing reviews of the six-months-old product? X500+ was released in May and soon to be replaced with X600 and higher-end X800.
