Eten glofiish DX900 - User Reviews

  • This is the same as the Acer DX900

  • i search this phone

  • Why does GSMARENA still have this phone in their database? This phone is obselete!! Availability is scares and or limited to either refurbish or used!!

  • I bought this phone a while ago and it's crap: batery lasts for less than a day, the hot key to phone is always getting automatic calls because it is not flat, it freezes for no reason, the function "unlock" desappears from the screen, etc etc. I'm all the time taking out vs taking in the battery to restart the phone. The concept is very useful but the machine is really poor. DO NOT BUY IT.

  • It is very expensive.

  • Nirusha have you tried any other phone besides this one?i have this one.and its crap.wery slow doesnt work at all if you dont have signal.poor battery.a lot of buggs.it turns of wery often.its crap.and know i kant sell it because no one heard of this brand and they dont trust 2 buy it and i payed a lot for it and now its stayng in its packeg and colects dust

  • I just bought this expensive ACER DX900 but u know what? It is not worth it. Better not to buy this unit at all! very disappointing battery life & performance!

  • I bought it in Mexico

  • So expensive...

  • I think that Eten was bought from Acer, so there is no difference (for more here:

  • Acer acquired Glofish or Eten.

  • Anyone who knows where this mobile phone is available, because it seems it is available in very very few countries?

  • anyone can explain to me what the difference between this phone with Acer DX900? thanx

  • This phone is not in KSA yet i found acer dx900 in Ryad & it costs (Acer dx900) about 2700 ryal.

  • Please any 1 knows stores selling this phone yet & is there electronic ones shipping abroad? Thanks

  • I have bee nhaving this phone for the last 6 months and am very happy with the phone. Ido agree that the battery will last for one day, but I challenge anyone to find a WinMo phone that will last more than 2 days... I have also got Garmin installed and am using this to sync with my MS Exchange server over wifi at home. If you are ok with flashing on new ROMS, this has plenty of support on the web. I am running this on a custom WinMo 6.5 and it is great ! This is also the only phone with a dual SIM and 3.5G. All the other dual sim phones are non 3G. The HSDPA speed is also absolutely great. I have set this up as a Wifi hotspot and use this as the wirelesss hotspot at home under 3.5G data. If you can get hands on this phone and if you are ok with fiddling with your phone, this is the only phone to get.I needed this phone as I travel a lot and wanted to have 2 sims active. This supports it great ! and I wanted to have 2 sims active when at home, one for calling and one for data, this also works great.. there is still no phone out there that can do the same... Highly recomended...

  • out of stock in every store. Stoped production

  • @xizmi yes, every SIM has to got its own imei = yes, this phone is dual-imie

  • THis phone has MP3 Player. The tome is dependent on service provider. It is between 20s to 40s. No tone can be played for full length, unless service providr supports it.

  • Can somebody tell me if the dx900 has push email? Please, need to know answer quick! thanks

  • daul imei ,yes or not ???

  • this is normal that the battery is draining fast, because you want to see what you really can do with this phone.it is the same with my HTC p4351 battery is draining fast when i want to get the most out of the phone. because there are so many software on the market that you want to try out. but overall it is a very good phone. and that you use 2 simcard in one phone, that is very useful.

  • It need a better procesor, memories and a photo camera!!!

  • Does the DX900 have provision for an external antenna??? A deal breaker for me.

  • can this phone use mpr alers for messages and how long is it able to play? will it be able to play 3 minute tone if the track is for 3 minutes?

  • There is no Threaded SMS and battery likewise drains too fast specially when you are just starting to get the hang of it...

  • when the dx900 dual sim simultaneous Spain

  • this phone is "cantik" mean very beutiful. gps is aok by using the mapsking app but with garmin its lack of accuratetion.

  • Purchased one unit early this year. Faced similar deficiency......battery drains too fast. In my case, doesn't last more than a day. Come evening, will need to recharge.

  • It's NOT duo 3G phone, only SINGLE 3G on sim#1. 2G on sim#2

  • around 500 euros

  • of course

  • Data connection(access internet,read e-mails,etc) works only if phone 1 is enabled. This is not an option ,this is a must have condition.

  • hi please guide me for buy this prety i am in iran do you know price of this?

  • are dx900 can be use also with skype

  • When using 2 sims at stand-by mode the battery drain too fast, a fully charge battery will only last 15 hours

  • The battery is using a 1530 mAh

  • can we see the incoming number calling in line 2 while we are engaged in line 1?

  • Can we video call with it? Im very keen to get one

  • Can we video call with it? Im very keen to get one

  • Acer bought it already? Then I guess you have to buy one now before the price goes up.

  • It will be carrying the Acer brand name instead.

  • No one seems to know the battery life of The DX900. cant see it even in the glofiish.com Site on Specification. Kinda worries you doesnt it?

  • Why worry about a 3" screen displaying a quarter of a million colors over 65536? It takes 16 Bits to process 65536 colors, compared to 18 Bits to display 262144 colors. This slows processing down drastically as most processors work in 8 bit blocks. Other than that, the best TFT screen can only display about 8,000 shades, so it is a waste of time.

  • it seems a very nice phone. however, it still lacks features like the 65k colors instead of 265k or 16mil like in other high end phone. also no mention of accelerometer and small screen

  • is it dual sim standby? does it works in Mexico? is it built in gps?

  • SIM 2 is only for voice and sms. It is actually a good option so you don't risk using expensive data charges in the wrong place.

  • Does SIM #2 (the 2.5G one) really support GPRS data transfer? Anybody can try it? I don't see that in the official e-ten specs.

  • How is the battery with 2 sims?

  • Hi, Waiting for 7 day to receive my DX900 sad.gif out of stock from expansys 505�. After delivery i checked the site and they had 10 in stock. After 1 day all gone....... Until now im very happy with the DX900. Is faster than the Omnia that my wife has. The 2 SIM work very well. In my opinion the best Dual Sim in the market!!

  • See another person... "I got my DX900.." Like magic! ***Where are u purchasing these phones from***???

  • see another person... "i got my dx900.." like magic! where are you purchasing them from people?

  • I got mine at Low Yat Plaza Malaysia for RM2400?

  • clove is taking pre order only.

  • I Got my DX900 on Expansys. Stating to test the two cards work very well.

  • Finally it have TV OUT or not?

  • Why is it, No one can tell us WHERE to purchase the phone right now? How is it that some people are claiming to have it already in there possession? The only places I am seeing it available is postings on websites, like- These guys are requesting Western Union ONLY transfers and do NOT offer local pick up... hmmmm? seem like the scam EVERYONE warns you about!

  • SIM #1 = 3.5G (UMTS, HSDPA) SIM #2 = 2.5G (GPRS, EDGE) anyone knows any store that already sale this item? trusted store, i mean, like expansys. not that alibaba crap.

  • I wonder if both SIM slots are 3G-capable or one is 2G-only?

  • It cost approx.250 dollers in US.

  • So that means it will probably be 700 Pounds in Rip-Off Britain.... if they don't hurry up and release it in the UK I'll be going to Samsung for my dual-sim

  • At the moment there is one at ebay.de for 900$ Too much i think

  • Incredible expensive, poor quality, outdated technology. For the enclosed features it is far to heavy. Only 3MP camera and no comments on battery. Compared to Nokia this thing is crap.

  • US$550 in Taiwan??? I think it would be around $700 in rest of the world.

  • Now the specs are on the glofiish website.

  • dx900 only cost us$550 in Taiwan

  • Jorda, what's the price of DX900 in Netherland?

  • Very nice phone. It has everything I need for a mobile phone. Hopefully this phone will be completed manufacturing by the end this year.

  • you wrote : I Bought this phone about 2 weeks back already. If you looking at this phone purely because of the fact that it can support dual sim 3G then get it. Apart from that, there is nothing special about this phone and rather slow actually. Battery life Barely sufficient for a day assuming you have 2 numbers and make alot of calls. could anyone pls tell me how I can buy this phone and where?

  • Is it only in stores, or available online?

  • The phone is "in stock" in the Netherlands.

  • Which country / supplier did you manage to get one from? There's still zero availability in the UK.

  • Hi ..........is this phone already availeble? If so .....can u please tell me where.......and is there a website to see the phone and the price? Thanks

  • I have played with the phone and didn't buy it in the end. Other than the dual SIM, the phone speaker was also a plus point - nice and loud, and not to mention the photo light for the 3.2 MP Camera. The main reason I didn't buy was because of the RAM - on bootup, program memory was only about 35MB. My Touch Cruise (with similar 128 MB RAM rating), had 60 MB on bootup. I reckon soft resets might be a frequent activity on phone - Just my 2 sen worth.

  • How nice of this unit handling 2 sim cards at a time, with Windows Mobile 6.1, integrated camera, GPS and configured by Acer. One of the greatest phone in the market.

  • Am I the only person who would love to buy this when it (eventuly comes out) but it doesn't have a keyboard? I would be lost without the keyboard on my current WM phone but I would love to get this Eten so I can ditch my second phone (such a pain to have to carry 2 phones everywhere).

  • Acer bought Eten... maybe thats y its taking so long for this cell to hit the market...

  • Does anybody know the specifications of the battery? Capacity? Stand-by? Talk time? THX

  • how was it?

  • I've tested this device on Monday

  • I just bought a TechFaith/QiGi I55 which also has quad band (US 850 Mhz) and dual Sim but only 2G. Had the Glofiish DX900 been available I would have bought it although probably much more expensive. In the US we need 850MHz, or we cannot connect with ATT/Cingular, the biggest GSM carrier here. I bought a Samsung Duos and I can't use in the US because it is only Tri-Band.

  • This looks like my next phone! Does anybody own this phone in the USA? or anywhere else?? This is all I could find about it:

  • Please can you make calls from both sims on the DX900 without rebooting? And secondly, when will this phone be available in Europe? Many thanks.

  • i dont know whats the hold up with this phone. i can't wait any longer. if this phone wont come by the end of 2008, then i will buy the samsung d980.

  • Is MS-Outlook include with pocket-pc Are the two sim cards work at the same time

  • the feature is beautiful but could it be with a tv,i'm sure it'll be the most sophisticated phone ever in the market n it can beat Nokia,

  • I wonder if it has two IMEI numbers. So I can receive calls on both numbers without changing the SIM on the system.

  • just to be clear this phone i would be able to make and recieve calls off both sims unline the samsung duos phones???email me at [email protected]

  • is beautifull

  • nobody could tell the diference between 65k and 262k colors cell phones. Those phone manufacturers that makes 265k or even 16 milion colors are just sound/looks good in writing. Ninety percent (90%) cell phone users are using 2-8 colors everytime they use their phone anyway, i.e. when making calls and sending sms/email messages. If you have to watch videos, its better to watch from a portable dvd.

  • From "[email protected]" answer: DX900 would be available before the end of 2008. We will have announcement when we have any new information on our website.

  • How can we post a review. This phone does not exist even on the e-ten website. I would love to get one if it's available

  • It's a Windows Mobile limitation.

  • Why does DX900 or other PDA(ETEN) screen suppor only 65K color? Atleast 262K? Nokia N95 or 96 16M color! The resolution is best, screen size is OK, If bigger is best.

  • I dont know about this model, but almost all eten phones availability from the announcement date are longer than expected. I hope this phone will come out mid of 2009 or no later than 2010. This would be my next phone.

  • Think twice, before decide for any ETEN!! Mine X800 has to be repaired under waranty and Eten wants, that I send it on MY expences to Taiwan. In such case I have also in/out (so, twice) EU CUSTOM procedure. If YOU have time... I don't and I'll just trash it.

  • Interesting review

  • Is almost complete however it is not distributed widely enough like Nokia and Sony Ericsson

  • Any rumour about release date? I have been informed by some online seller that in early September 2008. Even they already accept pre-orders, however no official news from ETEN.

  • This real dual sim phone & site is glofiish.com and this phone is not lauch officially yet it's just announce for future.

  • Stuning phone! i had a x500 i't the smartest phone ever! go go ethen :0

  • I can't wait to guy this when it comes out! Just hope its cheap.... ;)

  • Hello Everyone, Is this true Dual-SIM phone? it has both GSM sim working simultaneously or stand by? As per recent post on this phone.. is really too risky to buy this product? ON OFFICIAL WEB SITE OF ETEN THERE IS NO SUCH PRODUCT. In fact i was searching for same features like DUAL SIM+WiFi and i found this here... so Please help me out to figure the decision to buy or not.. thank you

  • Release Date: September, 2008. Can't wait...

  • COol Cool Cool!!!

  • if none of those famous dual sim phones come out with similar specs before this phone, i definitely buy this phone. Hopefully, this dx900 will come out before 2009.

  • im sorry to be a smart ass, but its 65k colours, i think you mite need specs if you see 64k colours!

  • Very good Pocket... But only 64k colors

  • Do not get your hopes high! :( Eten makes nice phones when you look at the specs - but the delivery is horrible. See X800 forum! I doubt Eten fixed all problems at ones. This is a company who put the X800 on the market - a total junk. I wish DX would be a working model - GPS with SIrFIII, dual SIM etc. all niceand wanted features! Finally.... but if the unit is full of bugs .....

  • is there stereo speakers?

  • AFAIK, this is the first dual SIM phone that support 3G network (finally... ) can't wait until it available in here (Indonesia). i'll definitely buy it!

  • other advantage could be GPS receiver with SiRF Star III chipset

  • What about the actual battery life? How long will it last while at normal usage?

  • i can't wait to have this phone. Dual SIM, quadband and windows? Hopefully, both sim-slot supports 1900mhz. Unlike samsung dual sim phone was a rip off. Only the primary sim is triband.

  • this is longer, wider, thicker and heavier than the HTC Diamond, Why? the only advantage it seems to have over the Diamond is the card slot, yet it's almost as thick as the HTC Pro which will have a keyboard!!

  • this is the best
