Performance:

Eten X610 utilizes a Samsung SC3 2442, 400 MHz processor and has a 64MB built-in RAM memory. During usage, the device felt zippy and we didn’t experience any lag and all animated transitions were nice and fluent.

We compared our SPB Benchmark results with the ones of the X600, Touch Diamond and Touch. On most of the tests the device is on the lower end of the scale, but in the graphics department it outperformed the competition.

Overall, the sound quality during calls is good and people we talked to, heard us loud and clear. On our side though, things weren’t that great. There was an echo coming from the earpiece and also, the incoming sound was a bit muffled and unreal. The speakerphone is usable, but the voices coming from it were too sharp. Another problem in the X610 is the background noise.

Conclusion:

The X610 is a good choice if you are on the market for a compact Windows Mobile Professional device. The personalized interface looks pretty good and makes the X610 very easy to use with fingers. The phone also packs some good features like Wi-Fi and GPS, but like the X600 lacks 3G support and has poor camera quality. Despite of these flaws, it is a solid performer.

Functionability = standard wm6 features
Performance = 1. Phone - I get many complaints that the other party cannot hear me clearly. It is akin to there being alot of static, although on my side the signal is full bar
2. Speed - It is underpowered with not enough memory. I was getting insufficient memory while doing things like taking pictures, even though i was saving to sdcard. I removed the spb desktop and that solved this aspect since this cleared up alot of memory.
3. Display = poor. the 64k colour and backlight is so poor that in broad day light, i can not at all read the display. I am not talking about not being able to read the small words, since i increased the text size, however the whole screen is black when in bright sunlight. I have to guess at what i am doing.
4. Camera = acceptable for a phone camera. Not great but not too poor either
5. GPS = is fine. I believe it has 20 channels so it picks up a signal pretty quickly. One problem is that if I forget to turn off the gps and I leave the car, battery power drops rapidly and I am without a phone until i can get it recharged.
