No More ROM Updates

If you are using the Eten Glofiish X500, I guess the last ROM update came in May 2007, when Eten released the ROM with WM6. Since then, almost 5 months later, there has been no more updates or even patches. Actually there was a patch released sometime in June or July, that supposedly fixed the […]

Skype And Eten Partnetship To End?

With Skype no longer supporting the chipsets used by Eten in their Glofiish series, that does seem to be the case. While there have been reports that the reason for this lack of support is due to the coding not being updated for the Samsung processors and that it would just be a matter of […]

Which ROM Should I Run?

A new ROM usually means better performance and functions for the device. So if one does come out tomorrow, shouldn’t we all upgrade it as soon as we can? Apparently that does not seem to be the case when it comes to Eten Glofiish users deciding between the WM5 or WM6 flavor. Just like with […]

I have been using my Eten Glofiish X500 for quite some time now and have been really happy with its stability. But the one cosmetic problem that never seems to get fixed is the green LED that refuses to light up after a full charge. So what happens is when you connect your device for […]

Are 4GB cards possible on the X500?

This is a pretty common question, more so with prices of memory cards dropping by the day. If you are looking at upgrading your memory, then 2GB will be the highest for this device.

PC World recently ran a Top 10 Cell Phone-PDA article which was rather interesting. Interesting because, it was ranked based on their own PCW world rating which I am not sure of how it works. And it seems that user experience was not included in the rating?

I’m always intrigued at how some people always complain about their PDAs. They start off asking me about my opinion on what would be a good device for them to use and within several days or weeks of their purchase, they start ranting about it. I realize that while these people see the advantages of […]

It’s been around 2 months since I upgraded to WM6 and while it has not been smooth-sailing, I would recommend this upgrade to those who have yet to jump on the bandwagon. Need more reasons? Here you go:

Why I Would Not Buy The X500+

With the Eten (Glofiish) X500+ just being launched, many people have been wondering if they should take the leap to ‘+’. While the addition of macro function is a useful feature, its VGA-resolution is the main reason why my phone is still without the +.
