It looks like AT&T’s top competitor to their AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser TyTn II) is that much closer to hitting Yankee shores. The E-ten Glofish M800 Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional phone has just gotten the “go ahead” from the FCC.
E-ten recently teamed up with Arima to push out faster and badder WinMo smartphones, and it looks like they’re right on target. The E-ten Glofish X800 was the first WM6 device from this partnership, and the Glofish M800 basically adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard (and some thickness). We last heard about the Glofish M800 earlier this month, but we had no idea it would already garner FCC approval.
With a 500Mhz CPU, 2.8 inch VGA display, quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio with tri-band (850/1900/2100Mhz) HSDPA/UMTS, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, GPS, 256MB ROM/64MB RAM, and 2 megapixel camera (with front-facing video-call camera) – all powered by the venerable Windows Mobile 6.0 OS – the E-ten Glofish M800 is poised to take a serious swipe at the HTC Kaiser (as well as the AT&T Tilt in the US). As we mentioned previously, the HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt has a hand up on the E-ten Glofish M800. The AT&T Tilt has AT&T’s support, so we expect the AT&T Tilt to have a bit of an edge – at least in terms of mind share.
