Data transfer, other, summary
The GSM module is quad-banded (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), so we can use M800 for making phone calls in any corner of the world. We can use HSDPA for data transfer, or we can fall back to UMTS, EDGE or GPRS in lack of network coverage. The built-in WiFi supports 802.11b/g standards, the 2.0 Bluetooth supports A2DP – all of these functioned flawlessly.
The battery has a capacity of 1530 mAh. The hi-res display made heavy use of it, so the device was functional for maximum two days with one charge, at normal usage, but one should put it on the charger daily, just to be sure.
Summary: E-TEN glofiish M800 didn’t convince me. No matter its plain design, its price is about 515 EUR, which is extremely much in my opinion, although it’s a fact that it’s still cheaper than similar devices of the same category. There are no problems with it in terms of data transfer possibilities and software, but I think that these touchkeys make the phone almost unusable and this is a reason for not loving it. Probably I’m not alone with this opinion, as meanwhile the manufacturer has released M810 with normal keys, which has the problem of costing almost 635 EUR. So my opinion didn’t change: if someone would like a QWERTY palm device with lots of features, than he or she should choose Toshiba G900, as that’s the best buy.
