              Mr. X, 05 Oct 2008Dear All, I am using this phone for one month, last week i... morehi. if you forgot the password, you'll need to hard reset. press and hold the reset AND power buttons. When you see the orange screen, press and HOLD the hang up button (the one with the red icon), until you see a white box with a confimation request. To confirm, press and hold HOLD the designed button. You're done!
              Good luck

                I've been using this phone for more than 1.5 years and I must say, it's one of the best PDA phone. It's designed for a business user. This phone multi-task well and fast! As a webmaster, I maintain client websites anywhere as I can edit codes and upload the file from the phone. If you need a fast & multi-task phone, this phone is for you.

                  My initial experience with the X500 was very good. I was very happy with it. However as it aged, nasty problems started to appear. Within a couple of months of purchase, the mini-USB connector stopped working properly and the unit had to go in for service.

                  The manufacturing is not as good as on other smartphones and as a result, the battery can easily jump off the contacts. Almost everytime I take the telephone out of my pocket, it has to be switched back on again. And that in itself is not an overly quick process.

                        I love this phone since it has everything I needed as a university student. I use GPS a lot for getting to places such as park and malls. WIFI works great for me since I am in a campus with wireless network so I get to receive my emails instantly. Windows Mobile provides all the apps such like opera mobile and Microsoft offices as my savior.
                        5 stars for this 007's secret weapon.

                            i really dont know what r u people talking about !!!! this phone is the best value for money !!!

                            1- GPS is fantastic.... i tried it and it is 100% accurate and it lock to the sat. in seconds!
                            2- screen is amazingly well done... coming from p3300 and atom pure... it is very very good for watching videos
                            3- battery life is great!!
                            4- the phone boots up with 77 mbs and 32 free ram !!!
                            5- sound quality is very good

                            it has everything in a fantastic and unique shape and it does everything well !!!!!
                            paying much more extra will get me the TC cruise with weaker proccessor and lower screen leg, !!!!

                            C'MON... if u dont know how to use a PPC... STICK WITH NOKIA

                              Do not buy this phone, it's slow, cheaply made.
                              I have for a year now and I have had nothing but problems.
                              First of all the Eten service is very poor.
                              Secondly upgrading to WM6 was a nightmare, the key lock is broken, it won't switch off, the battery sucks and the onboard software is useless.

                                About it...
                                Love the design and the GPS with Route66 Navigate7, but the maps are not updated!!!
                                The rest... VERY VERY TOO SLOW!!!
                                Too much useless softwares!!!
                                Not enough memory!!!
                                I change for (Back to the future) Nokia 8850, Nokia 8890 and Nokia 8910i... REAL MOBILES!!! Not gadgets like new mobiles generation!!!

                                    DON'T BUY IT. (also rebranded as a Pharos 600)I have had it serviced already once for a lockout problem and now the gps has failed (waits for a signal that never comes), I have read others have had similar internal gps ant failures. Phone has never been dropped, or exposed to harrsh enviroments.

                                      i own this phone make sure u kno what u have there is a x500+ witch is vga screen and the x500 is svga --

                                      okay volume is an 8 i guess its not horridly low by any means seriously but 1 thing i dont like is when using tcmp player to up the volume on things played it doesnt handle this pre amp out verywell the speaker gets crackly but like i said that is not any reason to say its a bad phone it just means that hey it ant that loud but its only slightly lower then any other great htc phone i had and thier freakin loud, anyways what i do see a diff in is the sounds quality in other phones that are loud they all sound very hi pitched no bass this x500 has a tad better sound-

                                      okay also id like to note that the midi polyphonics of this phone has a whopping 192 channels okay most other phones have 32 so most midi ringers u use instead of mp3 are going to sound almost mp3 like just no voices and those midi tones can be way louder them normal mp3-- if its such a prob use audacity to alter ur ringer files

                                      ---
                                      okay i had sooooo much trouble getting tomtom6 on this phone omg it was a week long ordeal thru countless reveiwing on forums and surfing tons of non usable bit torrents

                                      i have only found 1 working tomtom software that is cracked for this phone and its in spanish !!! lol the maps i got are universal maps i guess and the tomtom software is basicly a .cab i installed it has installers for bluetooth and more but i dont need them cause my gps reciver is built in so i dont kno the complications of all that , anyways a great freakin tool to use is sirf tool u must be carefull to not adjust anything only use the program as it scans ur phone and will tell u its port and baud rates witch have to be exactly correct or ull get no gps signal or no gps reciver found issues, after that take the sirf tool off seriously anyways the maps are a whopping 1gb on my mem card and the tomtom is about 7mb installed works great i love it

                                      i had to install the eten keyboard tho its a mmust along with gps veiw to make sure its sees sat's 'note u cant run more then one app using the gps at a time - no matter what i did i never got good results with the google gps software or anything else at all , i didnt try telenav but i didnt want it either ... yes the phone is not totally new age sleek but its still very aceptable in looks and the 400mhz cpu god is that nifty i have a tmobile wing a tmobile mda a tmobile dash and a a1200 moto ming now this x500 is closest to the a1200's speed but u have to think the a1200 has a 312mhz linux system too .. anyways i like it i some hang ups on it and some issues but i can deal with em

                                      issue 1- the sound volume- not as big of a deal as every makes it out to be -

                                      issue 2- power button on the side - im used to it on the top

                                      issue 3- unknown problems with gps and windows when switching to wm6 do so at ur own risk some report thier no problem some report they can get thier gps to be seen this might be cause windows changes the com port and the buad auto maticly if this is what i think it is then use sirf tool to find out the baud if ur blue light doesnt blink ur gps hasnt been started no blue light ='s no gps working i guess this may just be a wm6 issue with not seeing the light blink idk ... i may have just been one lucky dog ....

                                      issue 4= i cant installed any htc hacked files lol i try to install 6tab home screen and it works but no result on the screen ... i may have a self made rom on my phone cause i also get the msg sayin .cf ver2.0 is included in this rom please uninstall to install .net cf ver3.0 but lucky i use no apps that require the newer .netcf files for the newbs thier just windows files that basicly make the main diff between wm5 and wm6 plus some other stuff i really dont kno about .. i will say i tested a load of games and apps that seems to only half work or not make a diff at all on the phone , iphones slide to unlock tomb raider opera tomtom all work perfectly,

                                      SPEcial TRICKS! to reset ur x500 hold sideways and get ready to press and hold the camera power a red end key all at the same time now press the reset hole in and as soon as the screen flashes maybe right b4 it does let go of the reset hole pin and hold those 3 buttons for like almost 20 sec a white box appears and u hold the left key to tell is yes to format to org rom backed up inside .... if u do this the wrong way u may come up with a lcd test screen thats neon green - dont forget a softreset isnt totally bad and always clean ur files up try mem maid if your lazy it cleans and has a bunch of usefull tools -the tomtom is a pain in the ass to get working id offer the files up for grabs but its a total of almost 1.8gigs and my map files are not individual so i cant just pick what states i want my tomtom home software for my pc reads i have tomtom on my phone and everything trys to install voices but i havnt looked into that

                                      -
                                      note spb fullscreen keyboard sucks ass good layout but doesnt stay ur default plus when it is it has probs with other apps and stuff

                                      wanna install ur own keyboards and have them auto changed to them when ur phone starts then u need somthing called sipchange.cab google it iphone slide unlocker s2ul stands for slide to unlock google it , find more stuff on www.surrealnetworks.com some of the mda and the dash software runs on the phone , i cant get landscape to work for nes games tho bummer it auto defaults to portait mode, i also have spb modile shell 2.0 witch is a must have unless ur going to nstal htc's home screen plugin witch is also a hack and sometimes pain to get to work if u have a tmobile wing or u do get this to work ull find some instances of the homescreen 4 and 6 tabs have a weather updating problem u must use wifi to gain weather info even if gprs is avalible ,, the walkthru i found was on xda developers website in the forums u can serch it by serching n2a's weather its the guy who made the scrips for it that works , anyways that all might be old issues by the time u read this ....... if u want htc home screen on ur x500 with touch flo ull need to look up somthing called touch commander now i liked it i loved it even but i couldnt figure out how to pay to register it or hack it so it went by by - also people set up ur power setting and display settings then u wont be crying over poor batt cause my phone uses its bluetooth gps and phone all day long some off and on and its never dead at the end of the day unless i listend to mp3s all day long on top of that while gpsing it .

                                      my final rant and rave , i wish it had a slide volume key i wish the power button wa son the top i wish the mem slot was somewhere else it makes me feel like some one will jack my mem card too easy on the bottom or if i dare lose it that would super super suck ... im also using a 2gig card have not tryed sdhc cards in it im told if ur x500 doesnt work with sdhc thiers a rom upgrade that allows it but ull also might need to specially format the card , also if ur gps programs lagg hardcore u need to defrag ur mem cards or buy a card with a faster load seek time - im happy to help others as no one dared help me thru any of my torment at all - italianguy89156@yahoo.com

                                      ps if u need more battery on the go and u kno ull be using alot of gps time walmart sells a 4AA battery stick inthe photo dept for 10 bucks it has a usb port on it and some models comes with a usb to mini usb its in a yellow plastic package looks like its cheep but works great for on the go backup power just keep ur usb with u that or walgreens sells a cig lighter plug for ur car that has a 2x usb slot on it for powering usb stuff thats 7 bucks so those are my cheep fixes when thier really really needed -

                                      ps touch screen when touched in some ways does make a slight ripple on my lcd not a prob and not a defect tho this intergrated on the touch part of the screen alloows for better sensativity and also come on people we are after all disscusing a 2 year old pda phone witch is still bad ass
                                      overall key reasons to buy

                                      1 thing i DO NOT LIKE DO NOT LIKE i cant simply hold the power button down and shut the phone off its either stand by or battery out and its off ,, also leaving the battery out of the phone for 3 days will reset it since it keeps setting saved by battery and also might be weird to mention just like the macbook air this phones internal mem is not on a rom chip or rom at all its actully all saved in a flash mem just like ur flash mem card like a ssd device - unsure if this is a con or a pro
