E-TEN will show off the newly announced Glofiish M810 and V900 at the forthcoming 3GSM mobile phone event in Spain, the company has announced.
The two new models are the first in a new range of Pocket PC Phones focusing on portable entertainment and "go-anywhere" comms aimed at web-savvy consumers.
The Glofiish V900 is E-TEN’s first Pocket PC Phone to feature mobile TV with support for DVB-H, DVB-T, TDMB and DAB broadcasting.
The V900 offers a VGA display and HSDPA, GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity as well as GPS functionality and an all-new touch-based interface.
The Glofiish M810 is a HSDPA, Wi-Fi b/g and GPS ready handset. Aimed at bloggers and podcasters, it offers a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel auto-focus camera for image and video capture with what’s claimed to be easy instant web upload.
Not due to launch until the second half of 2008, Pocket-lint will be attending the 3GSM/World Mobile Congress event so will aim to bring you more info on these new handsets from the show floor.

E-Ten plans to make its first aggressive step into media-friendly phones by tapping digital broadcasts, according to samples obtained by the forums of Russian fan site EtenClub. The V900 will reportedly be one of the few devices to support multiple digital over-the-air formats at once with Europe’s DVB-H (handheld) and DVB-T (terrestrial) supported alongside Korea’s T-DMB standard; DAB audio broadcast support for the UK will also be standard. A small front camera points to the device supporting 3G Internet access. US support is unknown, though historical evidence would suggest full support for both calling and AT&T’s 3G (HSDPA) network.
Other details revealed in the hands-on point to an unusually fast 667MHz Samsung processor, a glossy display instead of the matte finish that normally comes with phones, as well as 128MB of RAM to handle Windows Mobile. Photos prove a product flyer to be accurate and suggest the device will be announced in black and blue color schemes by the Mobile World Congress show on February 11th.

ETen has a spanking new GPS-capable PDA smartphone known as the Glofiish X650 that can currently be seen on the FCC website, indicating a release in the US pretty soon. The X650 pretty much resembles the X600, although it comes in a slightly different shade. As for its features, everything pretty much ranks the same with the X600 save for the addition of an integrated FM transmitter. There is a possibility of a VGA display, but that remains to be confirmed. Would be nice to see 3G connectivity with the X650 though.

World’s thinnest Pocket PC Phone, GPS and Wi-Fi ® All-in-one
glofiish X500 is an all new design that is considerably thinner than current products in the market as of its launch date; upgraded communications with support for faster protocols and standards; and the ability to combine both GPS and Wi-Fi® capabilities in a single device.
Combined with the company’s innovative internal antenna design, glofiish X500 promises to make future products some of the most portable, pocket-friendly devices available and perhaps put E-TEN in the running to claim the title, “World’s thinnest Pocket PC Phone” with both WiFi® & GPS built in. Improved ergonomics are also a focus and glofiish X500 design is optimized of Windows Mobile™ 5.0.
Review By Mobileburn
E-TEN recently announced the latest addition to its portfolio of Pocket PC phones, the creatively titled glofiish X500. The manufacturer claims the glofiish X500 is the thinnest Pocket PC phone in the world that incorporates WiFi and GPS functionality, and with a thickness of only 15.5mm (0.61″), it is hard to argue with that statement.

So where can the company go from there?

For many the ideal mobile device would combine phone and GPRS capabilities for voice and data on the move; Wi-Fi® for high-speed Internet and LAN connectivity; and GPS satellite communications for easy navigation and travel.
