Here we present mini review of ETEN glofiish X800! It has no keyboard (similar model - glofiish M900 - but with slide-out QWERTY keyboard is coming this year too), but is small and thin (unlike brick-like HTC Advantage) and it has it all: auto-focus (!) camera, HSDPA (up to 3.6 MB/s), UMTS video calling, built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ultra-sharp VGA display (640x480 pixels) and even FM radio!
