Philips X800 caught in the wild

Don’t know about you, but I like the new/upcoming Philips X800. Yes, it looks very familiar / iPhone-ish, but this time Philips may have a global winner — it’s not hard to imagine this baby selling like hot cupcakes, if priced correctly.

Specs wise, the device sports a tri-band GSM/GPRS (900/1800/1900 MHz) radio, 2.9-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) 256K colors touchscreen, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) support, and a microSD memory expansion slot.

On the down side, though, the X800 lacks WiFi, 3G and even EDGE network support. It’s kinda strange, and I’ve no idea how Philips envisioned this device will be used. To be fair, it’s Philips’ first such device and I guess they’ll license the right technology for the next version.

Finally, if Philips could be that kind to send us a review unit, that would be awesome. In the meantime, all we can show you is the image above. ;)
