PPCT have done a superb job in reviewing the Eten M600. A very informative and "complete" review. Those of you who have been holding out for this device may now party!!!
"GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a digital technology used for the transmission of most mobile voice and data services as we know it. The number of GSM connections is steadily increasing - as of the third quarter of 2005, there were over 1.5 billion GSM subscribers worldwide. Despite the development and deployment of several 3G technologies, it's safe to say that GSM is here to stay as a basic means of mobile communication, at least for the foreseeable future. Most GSM networks operate at 900MHz/1800MHz, but there are a small number of networks which operate at 850MHz/1900MHz (primarily in North America). Looking at the past and present, most Pocket PC Phone Edition devices support tri-band GSM (900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz), but thanks to the M600's support for the extra band (850MHz), it opens up a whole window of opportunities for roaming - this is something you'll value if you're a frequent traveller."
If you see the benchmarks, the device is actually faster than the Jasjar and the Axim.
I dont say benchmarks are the defining factor to purchase a device but it would atleast give you some idea about the device performance. Eten have a bright future and their products for 2006/7 will definitely pit them up against other competitors.
Only thing missing IMO is a qwerty keyboard....perhaps next year
