Foreword, box
I think I have never in my life have been so happy to give back a reviewed phone than I was in the case of E-TEN M800. I have to admit that I have been overly happy to get rid of that useless horror. Because of that handset I have also been disappointed about the manufacturer too, as its devices practically differ only in their names lately; besides that they are almost the same, at least in hardware. Fortunately not even a month had to pass, and thanks to SpeedShop, I have received the newest handset, called M810. It will be much harder to give this back…
Before talking about the phone, let’s see what kind of gadgets we had from E-TEN recently. The first members of the glofiish series were the successful X500 and M700, the first has been followed by X500+ with a VGA display, while the latter one has been the predecessor of the previously mentioned E-TEN M800. The top phone is X800, which also has a high-resolution display, which is accompanied by two mid-range phones (X600 és X650). So the family is a populous one, but there are some static features. One of these is the Samsung SC32442 CPU, as all of the phones have this, only the clock frequency is what changes between 400 and 500 MHz – depending on the phone’s category (mid-range or high-end).The 64 MB RAM, however, is permanent, and this is also the greatest problem of the series. Besides the lots of pre-installed software we can also define the VGA display as a specific feature of E-TEN handsets, as although they’re not the only ones to have such a screen, but the 2.8” has been characteristic only of them for a while. Unfortunately the previously mentioned Samsung CPU is no friend of these kinds of displays; VGA resolution E-TEN devices can be really slow sometimes. So there would be room for improvements.
The sample device came in the usual, mid-sized box, which had a label on top of it that is quite unique for a Pocket PC: this text encourages the user to download Java games… to tell the truth I don’t really think that a device that costs €650 EUR should be sold with this slogan. The list of accessories is quite familiar, it includes a charger, a miniUSB cable, a headset, a leather case and the inevitable CDs.
