- No, - said editor - will not work. First, the article may not contain a single word. All the more so for sure this device is something good. You probably did not understand. Haystacks deeper.
The first stroke of a spade
The site "MakTsentr" has already been published a very good overview of E-Ten P600. In order not to drive readers to the links I have a little bit again and talk about what kind of device. Once again, if the reader interested in details down to the order in which the accessories packed in a box, he can read the first review of this device.

So, I blurted out that the E-Ten P600 is a smartphone. In other words, the CCP with the extended functionality of a mobile phone. P600, frankly, not the smallest of the PDA - 152 x 80 x 18 mm screen - 89 mm diagonal, weight - 210 g. According to the subjective sensation of E-Ten P600 quite heavy and cumbersome, and wear it in the inside pocket of his jacket - as we used to do with mobile phones - not the best idea. Iron component provides the necessary minimum for a comfortable work: 206 MHz StrongARM, 64 MB RAM, 32 MB ROM, a color touch screen TFT-reflective screen resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and 65,000 colors, an infrared port (up to 115 kbit / s). Actually, if you are indifferent to the "megahertz race, then such characteristics should not scare away. All the standard for handheld operations are carried out with reasonable speed. If you want to watch videos on your PDA, you'll certainly need more powerful machine, but I, frankly, with users not familiar with. At that capabilities E-Ten P600, part video playback rather modest, the disk that came, recorded Pocket DivX Player. In addition, on the same disk are plenty of useful software - ranging from antivirus (PC-sillin Antivirus for PPC) and ending with instant messenger (Yahoo Messenger). Most programs are not connected with the communication capabilities PDA, however recorded, for example, it is necessary SIM Manager (allows you to copy contacts from SIM card to your address book CCP) and a nice toy V2R Caller2Picture (allows you to compare each record from the address book image or picture). The cradle connects to a computer interface USB (and only). Comes with a headset. Powerful battery - 1800 mAh - but, alas, not removable. I already caught Russified version PDA - with language RussKey. No complaints to the Russification not.
Deeper
I'd really like to get acquainted with the creators of the E-Ten P600. Because the structural elements to explain some features I can not. I'm curious to see these people in the eye and ask them about, say, what they were thinking when designed (or ordered - what's the difference) without a headset button reception. This is the first (and, by and large, major) drawback E-Ten P600, confronted him with the first incoming call. To pick up the phone, PDAs have to pull out of his pocket and press the reception.

Of course, E-Ten P600 can be configured so that it automatically removes itself up after a few seconds. However, I for one do not always take my phone when I call. I am confident that you too are in this situation. Moreover, it is theoretically possible that when you hear the call, the unit will take up and saying - with proper intelligence interlocutor on the other hand - to break the bank. In general, the headset button, without taking it very uncomfortable. I must say that voice communication in the E-Ten P600 runs through the stump-deck. Hardly worse than in other communicators, but significantly worse than in conventional mobile phones. In some cases - particularly in noisy environments - the interlocutor does not hear the banal. On the other hand, to work with the Internet via GPRS no complaints there.GPRS is configured quickly, works pretty well - however, clear limitations are caused not by the CCP, and operator service providers. It is worth noting that working in the web you can not worry about the missed call - as a device compatible with GPRS Class B, E-Ten P600 allows you to take the call, and then just reopen your Internet connection. The possibility of expanding the CCP rather modest. There is a built-in slot SD / MMC. Support for CF is implemented by a jacket, which is available separately.
The suffering of battery
Despite the power of the battery, one charge was enough for me just for a day. The reason became clear only after a few days. Get me a copy somehow signaled that it is charged, much earlier than the battery is really charging. Chat with other users E-Ten P600, I have concluded that it features a sample, because the rest of these oddities were not observed. In general, even with a relatively active communication by phone charge should last for a few days of normal operation. However, for the loyalty I would recommend to put the E-Ten in the cradle every night.
What's good?
At E-Ten P600, there are good sides. And there are many. Firstly, it is worth noting almost flawless job with the Internet via GPRS. Secondly, the CCP is a very decent screen, despite the fact that he is reflective, not transflective. Third, the only significant design flaw embedded phone - it's the lack of buttons on the headset. Everything else - the solid comfort. In addition to a completely standard buttons start and end a conversation on the front panel is, for example, a separate button on and off mobile phone, and her light a network. Fourth, it is very reasonable is a connector for a SIM card: on the one hand it is quite easy to get (at least, no need to remove the battery - enough to pull the plug out of a special connector on the body), on the other hand, he is more than reliable. Fifth, the combination of headset and earphone seems to me a very sensible decision - if you call the sound is still muted, which makes it possible to talk normally. By and large, if we consider the E-Ten as a PDA with the ability to connect to the Internet (and forget about the functions of voice mobile communication), then he typed some drawbacks. Negative feedback on E-Ten are caused, rather, lack of understanding of the true purpose of this device. And - most important advantage - a leather case, which also comes;) Actually, a leather case quite clear: the why and who needed the handheld becomes obvious.
Why and to whom
It is considered that to give to the good stuff. In fact, it's not quite true. Give, of course, need only that person can appreciate. That is something that will be good for him.

In Russia, the PDA market was originally formed by enthusiasts, excellent expertise in the subjects, and therefore the selection criteria PDAs us pretty tough. In short, the CCP should cost money. Perfect PDA to be powerful, economical on energy devoured, a small, modular and inexpensive as possible. That is, there is a purely utilitarian approach. It is clear that E-Ten, evaluated by these criteria, does not look very good. At the same time, this approach is not typical for all consumers. It's easy to see when you look at least at a mass market mobile phones. Hits can easily become a cheap and image model. And, in the case of image-model functional richness is not necessarily completely correlate with the price. Image model to buy, because it looks good, prestigious and capable little to raise the rating of its owner in the eyes of those who understand. " The fact that LG does not do the best phones is an open secret. Nevertheless, they are sold very well. Because in the eyes of the audience look like they should look good mobile phone. From a large SUV in the city, too little help - but buy them and buy a lot. Because every "real boy" should be a jeep.Who would like E-Ten? It seems to me that this is the perfect gift manager, who wisely understands that it is necessary to keep pace with the times, but he is unable to make the first move. For him, E-Ten can be a real discovery. Firstly, the PDA is large enough. And it looks very solid, especially dressed in a leather case. Secondly, apart from obscure (at least initially) for a hypothetical head PDA functionality, the E-Ten has the functionality of a mobile phone. This will cause the head at least start using the PDA, and there is a thing go easier. In addition, combining in one device of PDA and mobile phone brings a sense of status. Separately, mobile phone or PDA today are nothing new, and the combined device is, to some degree, and exotic. Thirdly, the status utility E-Ten is not limited. As I wrote above, it is quite a decent handheld format Pocket PC Phone Edition with all the consequences. As a result, we get a wonderful gift to the head, which is fully functional and looks as though the head is able to appreciate it. You can be in love with the new Toshiba or take the most economical solution last Viewsonic, however, to assess their merits, we must understand why you need a PDA. It is possible that a year later - before his next birthday - the chief will come to you and worrying, says: "a present to me a guys Toshiba e899, MakTsentr in, say, a new party brought." And you give him a Toshiba e899, and it starts to look different from the E-Ten and spitting, if it finds that some things are implemented in a newfangled Toshiba worse. With that mind, will already be aware that the CCP should be small, convenient, etc. And the E-Ten will put in the safe and only occasionally, long dark nights, will get him to wear a leather case and look at a device that looks like a "real PDA.
