Another phone from Glofiish is coming: X650

FCC has just approved new Glofiish model: X650. According to the users manual the only difference with X600 is color and an FM Transmitter, so you can send its sound output to any radio tuned to the right frequency.

I personally like the idea of FM Transmitter as it solves the sound transfer to the car stereo easily.

Eten Glofiish M800 postponed to January

Due dates for long-awaited Eten Glofiish M800 - a 3G phone with full qwerty keyboard has been changes to January 25th in online shops. This leaves Glofiish lovers with the 2 options for this holiday season: X800 or X600. I personally prefer a slicker solution without keyboard as my fingers seem to be too big for these small keys, so X800 is the best choice, at least for me.

It looks like Eten decided not to release a beta-version of the product this time and hope that we eill get a fully functional device in January.

Where to buy Glofiish X600, X800 and M800?

Now, when all the new Glofiish devices have appeared in online stores it is not so easy to decide where to buy it as all the shops offer different services and pricing structure when you go into details. I've order mine from Eten Webshop, because they are offering free delivery to my country, and will give a free 1GB microSD card. They are now offering all the 3 new models, here are the links, so you can take a look at their offer:

New Glofiish website is up

Eten Corp. has launched a new version of Glofiish website, which is in my opinion is overloaded with Flash - nice for a presentation but not really useful for information. It has a new "Support" section with FAQ, but I could not make it work under the Firefox, please let me know if it works under IE.

The most interesting surprise is that it only has info on X800 and X600, no word of M800. As M800 is confirmed by FCC it is real, so it's not clear why Eten Corp decided not to put it online this time.
