More E-TEN Glofiish M700 Reviews Surface

"It used to be HTC had a monopoly on that clever side-slider QWERTY keyboard design for Windows Mobile Pocket PC phones. The HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA, Cingular 8125) and the HTC Apache (Verizon XV6700 and Sprint PPC-6700) were the first and they were extremely popular. HTC continues the trend with their TyTN (sold as the Cingular 8525 in the US) and a few upcoming models. But none have a GPS. Enter E-TEN and their Glofiish M700 which has an internal SiRF Star III GPS along with every other feature you can cram into a Windows Mobile Pocket PC phone. Think of it as the keyboarded sibling to the Glofiish X500 we recently reviewed, since most every feature is identical. Like the X500, the Glofiish M700 has a 400MHz Samsung CPU, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, a 2megapixel camera, and is a quad band unlocked GSM phone with EDGE for data. It also features the same excellent E-TEN value added software and some of the X500's quirks."
Both MobileTechReview and pocketnow.com have just published reviews of the E-TEN Glofiish M700, and without giving away too many details, they've come to the conclusion that the device is far from perfect (a conclusion that I've arrived at as well). I'll save my thoughts for my upcoming review. In the meantime, head over to both sites and check out what they have to say.
