G500 Pocket PC Phone Edition with built-in GPS announced by E-Ten

The New G500 is the first Pocket PC Phone from E-TEN to have fully integrated GPS capabilities. The G500's embedded RoyalTek GPS module, featuring the SiRF Star III high sensitivity chipset and an innovative internal antenna design, means that PDA or phone owners who also regularly need to access GPS services, no longer have to carry additional accessories or even a separate GPS device when they travel. No other product makes it as easy or as convenient as the G500 to have the latest satellite navigation technology always on hand.

The G500 is also the first PDA phone that has onboard receiver allowing it to support Traffic Message Channel - TMC functions in available countries when using the popular GPS application, Destinator. The G500 can receive regularly updated reports of the traffic conditions ahead and so alert drivers to problems that could cause delays on a planned route. TMC's advanced warning system enables you to make on the fly changes to your journey, avoiding traffic jams and holdups and giving you an advantage to reach your destinations on time.


The G500 is optimized to support many of the popular GPS software packages available for the Pocket PC. Its large touch screen display is ideal for using fingertip navigation controls, while the large storage capacity lets users store roadmaps for multiple countries and destinations directly on the device. E-Ten also includes several unique, in-house developed or licensed software applications that add even more value to the G500 package. For example Location SMS integrates GPS and phone functions to enable users to send SMS text messages including their precise GPS coordinates to any other SMS compatible phone or device.

E-Ten G500 supports GSM quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz and GPRS allowing users to make and receive voice calls, send SMS text messages and access data services including email, mobile Internet and MMS wherever they travel. The G500 also supports Bluetooth 1.2 enabling wireless connectivity with other Bluetooth devices and accessories.

G500 has installed E-Ten's exclusive applications that offer enhanced functionality over other Pocket PC Phones including; Voice Commander to enable complete hands-free voice dialing capabilities, Advanced Speed Dial which makes dialing frequent contacts even easier and GPRS Wizard which simplifies the task of configuring data services such as GPRS, MMS and WAP.



Based on Microsoft's latest Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the G500 includes a number of software applications designed to add value for mobile business or mobile entertainment focused users. Support for Microsoft Office formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) lets G500 owners work with their important documents even while traveling, while Windows Media Player enables them to watch movies and listen to music.

The G500 has been ergonomically designed for handheld operation. Comparable in size to traditional mobile phone handsets, the device's combination of large (2.8") touch screen display, intuitively positioned hardware buttons and easy to customize software interface, offers users multiple opportunities to personalize the G500 to match their unique usage requirements.

Also, as an added benefit to both business users and travelers, the G500 features a 1.3M pixel CMOS camera and built in microphone allowing them to capture digital images and voice memo recordings. Combining PDA, phone, GPS, camera and digital entertainment functions all in a single pocketsize device, the G500 represents E-Ten's most integrated and highly-refined solution to meet the needs of business professionals and frequent travelers.
