Glofiish X900 Pocket Pc Review
From the Stylus
From Comm Manager


Stylus x900 back
Stylus in the Glofiish X900 is the same expandable types found in many of previous Glofiish Pocket Pc devices.

While it may feel a little uncomfortable for some with this kind of expandable, antenna type stylus, we would say it's far better than having an external stylus like you find on the LG Incite.

Headset
There is no state of the art stuffs here but the headset' design does look pretty neat. 2.5 mm connecting pins, a quite bigger control button holding the microphone in it and the ear plugs is all about it.

The ear plugs are of the type that plugs into your ear. If you remember the old sony erricson style! While they block your ear completely from the air and sound outside, too much of volume can definitely damage your drums so be carefull. Just in case if you have some unusual ear sizes, Glofiish does have a total of three sizes interchangable for the rubber plugs.

Battery and Charger
A 1530 mAh Lithium Polymer battery is definitely a welcome to Glofiish X900 pocket pc if you're looking for some longer hours of work. On a fair usage you can even get upto 2 days without charge and this is definitely impressive when it comes to Windows Mobile devices.

Glofiish X900 doesn't boast of any unnecessary flashy chargers but instead the standard ones. Fortunately, you have two variants of plugs which can be slid in to complete the charger. Pretty usefull if you're travelling overseas.

Screen
The LCD display in Glofiish X900 is definitely out standing. VGA Hi-resolution 640x480 pixels on a qVGA size will present you a very clear and crisp images. Pleasant to see but some find the tiny letters hard to see. Don't forget that you change the font sizes easily.

Camera
The 3 Mega pixel camera along with the LED flash has become quite normal these days for pocket pc devices but the picture clearity glofiish x900 gives is awesome when compared to the other devices sporting cameras of the same range. For example, we took a shot with glofiish x900 and the HTC Touch Diamond side-by-side at the same time under same lighting conditions and also with the settings at maximum quality capture and it's interesting to see that glofiish x900 gave a better picture.

Remember, Touch Diamond boasts of 3.2 mega pixel camer while Glofiish X900 has only 3! And there is ofcourse a front facing VGA camera for your video calling needs.

G-Sensor
g-sensorThe gravity is sneaking into most of the recent pocketpc devices and if you're still unaware of what the heck it means, it is a small sensor that can act like motion detector on your pocket pc. For example, when you tilt your device horizontally, it can detect that movement and switch to landscape mode automatically. The g-sensor is good for gaming and the controls can be simulated with motion and a whole lot of new possibilities are here. When it comes to Glofiish X900, apart from swithcing the device to landscape mode, there is no additional application to this.

Connectivity
All top notch connectivity modes upto 3.5G, UMTS and HSDPA providing upto 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link. This is a quad band GSM device and we havent heard of any CDMA versions yet. Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11g WiFi, GPS receiver and so on..

CPU, Performance and Memory

Samsung S3C 6400 Processor at 533 MHz can definitely challenge you with all the multi tasking stuffs. Should we say more? Benchmarks does score pretty high when compared to other devices on the same range.

Bundled Applications
Apart from the powerfull possibilities of Windows Mobile 6.1, Glofiish X900 does have some nice bundled add-ons for out of the box usability.

glofiish-x900-mobile-shell glofiish-x900-mobile-shell2 SPB Mobile Shell
We're pretty un happy here when competing pocket pc manufacturers could offer custom Today interface, Acer have not yet worked on this part of the world which is substantially important among the consumer needs. Instead, they have chosen and bundled the already popular SPB Mobile shell in a poor or non impressive theme. You may check our our SPB Mobile Shell Skins section for more themes to spice up your pocket pc.

glofiish-x900-today Quick Link
A seen on the bottom of the Today Screen, it gives a 2 row scrollable list of programs. The pink Up and Down arrows doesn't look real geeky here and so we need to ignore it totally for professional looks. Well it's just a plug-in and you can turn that off easily right?

Album
Here's a leap ahead. Just like HTC Album, this works close to it and capable of smooth transitions and slide-shows. The photo treat is really nice in glofiish x900.

 



glofiish-x900-backup-2 glofiish-x900-backup Backup Utility
A good application to backup your Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Personal Profile, Network Settings, My Documents and Messages. Nice to have but if you consider your data being worth more than anything, consider SPB Backup.
