I used to have the Imate Jamin and actually learned to like the phone althought it wasn't quick enough for me in the first instance and subsequently the lack of GPS. I waited in anticipation for the next version which I think was the HTC P3600 but that only had the Texas OMAP 200 Mhz similar to the Imate Jamin. Hence I didn't want that.
Next in line was the HTC Polaris which was way high on my list but then the iphone was released and I was so smitten by the screen that I thought I wanted a really nice screen next and looked for a VGA screen. Among all these I ended up with the Eten X800 which, for all its high specs, has very poor end user experience. Its too slow, simple as that. I was so distressed that I wanted to return it but was threaten a 30% repackaging fee by Expansys. So I settled with it, played with the ROM and now am using it with Windows 6.1
I think I've become accustomed to the slow speed of the phone rather than it becoming quicker with the new ROMs. It actually has a Samsung processor running at 500Mhz but with just 64Mb RAM. I suspect the VGA screen, without a graphic processors takes too much out of the processor.
Now I'm basically too tired of waiting for a miracle software upgrade and would like to get a new PDA, one which is properly functional. The HTC Polaris is actually the only one on my list of to get. How is the experience like, I want a really quick and responsive unit. But sometimes people's experience are hard to understand. There are as many good response on the EtenX800 forum which so so surprising given my experience.
Is there any new PDA coming out soon. I really like VGA screen but not at the expense of the unit's speed. Thanks for the advice
