First
unveiled by the FCC late last year, today E-TEN Information Systems has
officially announced the Glofiish X650, the company's latest Windows Mobile 6
Professional Pocket PC Phone to offer the benefits of all-in-one connectivity,
VGA display and an ultra-compact form factor. E-TEN first introduced the option
for a VGA display in May 2007 and since then has added several more models to
its product lineup aimed at different customer needs. The latest X650 is
designed to appeal to those seeking a compact, full-featured device that is also
affordable.
Featuring Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the X650 is powered by a Samsung SC3
processor at 500 MHz and is backed-up by 256 MB ROM, 2 megapixel auto-focus
camera, FM Tuner and a FM Transmitter (subject to region). Dimensions of the
handset are an ultra-compact 107 x 58 x 14.7 mm with a weight of just 136 g.
 
A VGA display offers several significant benefits to the user. The greater
resolution (four times higher than that of a typical Pocket PC Phone) enables a
larger proportion of a document, calendar, map, or web page etc. to be displayed
on screen at once, increasing productivity. Additionally, the higher pixel
density means that text appears sharper and easier to read while pictures and
video appear more detailed. VGA is set to become one of the key specifications
for Pocket PC Phones in the coming year.
The Glofiish X650 features E-TEN's all-in-one connectivity solution
comprising of worldwide GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. The device all comes
preloaded with E-TENs exclusive software suite including Mobile Shell, Namecard
Manager and Backup Utility as well as Microsoft Office Mobile, Windows Live and
other utilities.
The Glofiish X650 is offered in two color choices, black and purple. An
estimated retail price wasn't given yet; also no release date yet.
