It's godlike. Why, oh why, am I stuck with CDMA?

An absolute gem, perhaps the pinnacle of the windows mobile platform. This would have been a dream machine 8 months ago. In a post Iphone and upcoming Android era, I would never take this phone on board unless the promised me or indicated that there was likely to be an android software update for it. Frankly I have tasted the better ui fruit and I want more. Speaking as a long term windows mob fan (since the beginning of the orange spv range), I hope that they look beyond the current win mob clunky interface and problems.

Grant's comments are interesting.
I am a new WinMob user and a long-time UIQ user (Symbian). I am not a fan of S60 at all, but when I look at the beautiful screen of a Nokia I see the only blemish on my HTC/ ATT Tilt.
A nice VGA screen would fix that.
Re the WinMob interface. Well, you can customize quite a bit and pretty much make it your own, but I am surprised at how much some of the major developers stick to what I'll call a squeezed desktop interface - as if miniaturizing the PC desktop is a workable solution for a device I attempt to use whist driving.

Looks like it is using SPB Mobile Shell out of the box. Very interesting. For years, third-party software developers like SPB and SBSH have been selling programs that include features that SHOULD have come standard with WinMo. I like the idea of packaging some of these programs with the device right out of the box, and kudos to SPB if they really did land a deal like this.

the crowning glory of winmo QWERTY keyboard devices.
touch screen smart keyboard is oh so much nicer than a dumb hardware keyboard.

Only thing it has on the Kaiser is VGA, SiRFIII, and FM. Otherwise, it's hell ugly and lacks ram.
Pick your poison.

Anyone seriously considering any of e-ten's phones should visit their forum. the glofiish line,particularly the x800 is plagued with problems. non-transflective screen is unusable outdoors, lack of ram causing random power-offs, terrible camera quality and horrible customer service. But don't take my word, do the research yourself at eten-users.eu/

If there's anything I can't stand is horrible customer service, high end apps/gizmos that requires lots' of on-board ram, and a lack of ram. A perfect receipt for disaster. I thought I'd invest in this over the Kaiser 120, so I read the specs, went to multiple forums on different sites, and decided to go with the Kaiser after all. The very last thing I want is to have a brand new spanking device that's faulty and have horrible customer service, especially during the holidays, lol. Ba hom bug, lol.

Um, am I reading this right. The GPS data updater is NOT supported in the US for the M800...? Atleast thats what the online user manuel says.
