E-TEN Goes QWERTY: Glofiish M700 Reviewed

Sizing It Up: Head-to-Head with Other Devices
With a QWERTY keyboard in its arsenal, the M700 certainly can't match the stunningly thin X500 in size. However, at a depth of 19.8mm, it's certainly slim enough to fit in most pockets, although the good ol' pocket bulge is unavoidable. Other QWERTY devices such as the HTC Hermes (21.95mm) and the HTC Wizard (23.7mm) simply cannot compare.
Pictures tell a thousand words, so I'll let the following depict the overall size of the M700.

At 117.5mm x 59.0mm x 19.8mm and 165g with the battery, the M700 is reasonably sized for a device with a QWERTY keyboard, and with so many features under the hood, E-TEN has done a pretty good job packing them all in.
