O2 Xphone

The O2 Xphone is a Windows-based Smartphone that combines the best features of a powerful PDA device with the convenience of a mobile phone.

At first, the O2 Xphone looks a little large at 150x50x24 mm and 130 grams, but this is pretty typical for a Smartphone.

The Xphone is a tri-band GSM phone with GPRS, and you can connect it to a PC with either a cable, infra-red or through Bluetooth. There's 32Mb RAM available to the user, expandable through the SD card slot, and it can also support SDIO peripherals.

The screen size on the Xphone is a fairly large 176x220 pixels, and the Xphone comes with a VGA resolution camera with video recording facilities.

The key strength of any Windows-based phone is the software package, and the Xphone comes with Pocket Outlook, Windows Media Player, Pocket Internet Explorer, ActiveSync and Instant Messaging applications. If you're used to a Windows-based PDA, then the applications should be quite familiar.
