The G500 is a quad band GSM phone which is sold unlocked for use with any carrier. Just pop in your SIM and you're ready to make calls. Enter your carrier's GPRS settings and you'll be able to surf the Net and do email. The G500 is not offered by any carrier in the US but is sold by online retailers and requires no contract. It's also a full-featured Pocket PC with the usual Outlook synchronization, mobile Office applications, IE mobile, email and more. Those of you who are familiar with E-TEN's M600, or even the older M500 will feel at home with the G500, which has a very similar form factor, feature set and compliment of software.
