The latest PDA-phone from Cyberbank has officially debuted. Dubbed CP-X501, succeeding the best-selling CP-X301, is the smallest WM2003-based PDA-phone to hit the market. The unit I have was given by Cyberbank for a test-out. More on this coming soon, I think.

헉~ utf8인걸 미처 체크 못했네요.. 죄송하지만 첫번째 깨진 트랙백 삭제좀..
직접 만드신 블로그인가요? 깔금하니 좋네요.. x501이 이렇게 늦게 출시될줄은 전혀 상상도 못했습니다.

I feel it is necessary to warn you guys not to buy from this company.

I purchased an x301 from them in the summer of 2004. Shortly after, it required service and again 4 times until it was replaced in March 2005. I had demanded my money back but they ignored me and replaced it. The new unit then required service about a month later for the same problems as the first unit. It dialed the wrong speed dial numbers, turned off when buttons were pushed, had very poor reception, to name the major issues.

They still refuse to refund me even though again, in August it had the same issues. They tested it and said there is no problem and that the model is stable. They said there were no problems this time around, but nonetheless, it was serviced, updated and so on.

Be careful if you ever consider buying their products. They have some good features, but the faults can cause you some big problems - like calling the wrong people.

The previous model, X301, indeed had some technical issues in some cases, although in my experience the X301 never had any problems with the power or dialing. Looks like the problems described above is directly caused by a faulty CDMA module.

I am not doubting KyleKorea's claim (Cyberbank's outsourced service centers leave much to be desired, even in my experience), but to Cyberbank's defense the past models did not have nearly as much issues, and as I see it the trouble arose when X301 became too popular for the company to handle and things got out of hand. Mind you, I've either used or known closely about PDA phones from other companies as well, and they had their own can of worms and reports of suboptimal treatment by the service centers from other users.

If Cyberbank had learned anything while dealing with X301, then I'm thinking X501 would fare much better.
