E-TEN Shows Affordable Glofiish X610 Smartphone

Today E-TEN announced its latest affordable addition to its Glofiish lineup of Windows Mobile Professional powered smartphones, the X610. Like the DX900 and X900 that it was launched with today at the Computex 2008 show in Taiwan, the X610 makes use of E-TEN’s new 3D animated finger user interface - seen below.

E-TEN’s new finger touch UI extensions, which we first saw under NDA at the 2008 Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, have an HTC TouchFLO-like appearance and provide users with 3D effects and large, finger-friendly buttons and icons to make it easier to control the X610 one-handedly, without the need for a stylus (which is still included). We haven’t seen the final version of the software, but what we saw in February looked promising.

Details on the X610 are otherwise a bit sparse, other than the fact that it has a built-in GPS module, but the device does seem to be the obvious successor to the X600, a smartphone equipped with a QVGA touchscreen display and quad-band GSM/EDGE network support. One thing is certain, though, the X610 runs the latest version of the Windows Mobile Professional OS: 6.1.

The X610 can be seen now through June 7th at the Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan. E-TEN has not provided an estimated availability date or price for the x610 as of this moment, and we are still waiting on full specs.
