Philips X800 Preview and Live Pictures

GCPR — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:03:17 +0000

The upcoming Philips Xenium X800 has already passed the FCC and is nearing its launch, though it might have come a little too late to the full-touchscreen-devices-party. Overall, its features are pretty decent, but the lack of 3G, Wi-Fi and even EDGE connectivity is a deal breaker for most users, might be fatal with the Samsung Omnia, iPhone 3G and HTC Touch Diamond all offering similar and in many cases better specs.

On the good side, there’s a 2.9-inch 262K color TFT touchscreen display with a resolution 240 x 400 pixels, 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Bluetooth, microSD memory slot, an office documents reader, and a 1250 mAh battery, which promises to deliver up to 850 hours of standby and up to 8 hours talktime.

No info about when will it hit the market or even the price but the first impressions of it are all good.
