The Philips X800 and the Philips Xenium X-Connect have been officially announced by Philips this month. Firstly the Philips X800, this is a fully touchscreen mobile which also has handwriting recognition. It has a nice big 2.9 inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels.
The X800 also has a 2 megapixel camera, it would obviously have been nice to see something better here - but it appears that Philips are taking a leaf out of Apple's book. There is also a microSD card slot, Bluetooth and an office documents reader. There is also a quite impressive battery life of 850 hours standby time and up to 8 hours talk time.
Next the Philips Xenium X-Connect which is a similar looking large screen device, at 3 inches the screen is slightly bigger than the X800. The main difference between the X800 and the X-Connect is the fact that the X-Connect will run off Windows Mobile 6. The X-Connect will also have GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA, and integrated GPS-receiver.
As usual you will get Bluetooth, USB and a microSD card slot. Sadly for such a great looking phone with a nice big screen it is missing a Wi-Fi connection which would have made for better browsing.
Sadly there is no word as yet on the price of the Philips X800 or the Philips Xenium X-Connect, nor any speculation on a release date for either.
