msmobiles has published a first part of their review of the E-TEN G500 - a Pocket PC Phone with integrated GPS capabilities. The G500 features an embedded RoyalTek GPS module with the SiRF Star III high sensitivity chipset and an internal antenna design.  The G500 makes a solid impression on the first glance. msmobiles highlights the fact that the G500 supports TMC and FM radio.

It is too early to draw conclusions in such an early phase of testing, but we already have impression that E-TEN G500 is a very solid phone and thanks to ultra-sensitive built-in GPS it may improve life of users significantly. Let's remember also that in Windows Mobile 5.0 a new feature related to GPS has been built-in into the operating system: ability to run more than one GPS application at the same time... so possibilities to play with GPS are numerous and you don't have to limit yourself just to one application at a time. You could for example run several GPS applications at once, for example: one application for GPS navigation and finding your target, one application for logging of your journey to some format that could be reused elsewhere (like in Google Earth) and one other application that is playing music depending on the location in which you are located.

One is for sure: comfort of GPS usage in E-TEN G500 is huge and for people who are traveling from time to time and who don't spent their whole life on the same commute route, this phone may be an excellent solution.
