"Screw you guys, I am going home!"

:D

My JAM served me perfectly for a almost a year and now it's time to move on. Just sold it and ordered ETEN M500. I've got a bit tired of iMATE's position in OS upgrades, first with my XDA2 not having 2003 SE and now JAM with no 2005. Also, cripled BT, no voice dialing possibility also was a big factor for me. ETEN is using MS BT stack and does have this feature. Let's see how it performs in person. :) I am willing to help you guys with getting BT stack from ETEN working on JAM. Let me know if you need anything.

BTW, moderators, is that possible to create another forum here dedicated to ETEN? :D

Why order the M500 now and not wait a few months for the M600? Please post your findings on the M500 though as I'd love to hear how good / bad it is.

Because in few months my JAM will be older few months :) and I wouldn't be able to sell it for a good price. M600 doesn't impress me much over M500 - same memory size, same CPU, same look ( I am not big fan of black color either). Only WiFi. But I don't care about it much. If I really need one I have WiFi SD card ( which I maybe used once in 6 month). Price for m500 is good now and Windows 2005 upgrade is officially anonced for it.

My unit should be here on Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'd love to yell at you for deserting HTC, but I am afraid you are doing the right thing. Darned... :(

Since you don't use WiFi, I think you made a very good move.

You can always get a really short Sceptre 802.11b Wi-Fi card from MadMonkeyBoy (http://www.dweiniger.com).

ID64... so how's the Eten coming along?

[esackbauer]

As I read on some reviews, Windows Mobile 5 is not the leap we are all waiting for. Or to be more specific: The leap I am waiting for.
I am happy with my Magician and I have not seen features that would make me switch to WM5 or another device with WM5.
The main thing for me is stability first, features second.
I don't want to be a beta tester for WM5, being an early adopter, life is hard enough ;-)

jaykummar, the make is E-TEN. If you do a search in google for E-TEN M500 you'll get lots of info.

Alas, I think we may be asking too much to open an "Eten" thread in an XDA forum... :oops:

I'll try other PDA forums. 8)
