It's been awhile since we last saw the
xpPhone, a quick, quiet demonstration at
Computex that left us doubting whether the thing would ever see the light of day outside a packed showroom floor. It seems our doubts are about to be put to rest as ITG, creator of the thing, has thrown up a pre-order page on the phone's website. There's no mention of a price, and indeed you won't be asked to plunk down any cash right now (it's not much of a pre-order), but what's interesting is that it asks you to choose between 3G modules for Vodafone, Orange, or AT&T. That means ITG seemingly has aspirations of a global release for this thing, and while we're not sure how many people are going to want to lug around a MID-sized monster celly with a "super big" 4.8-inch LCD and a weight of nearly a pound, surely some nation in the world has pockets big enough for this.

Holy cow... i know this site is overseas but come on..... they should could it Aunt Jemima
well it depends on how big it is..i mean, if its roughly the same size as the n900 i wont mind, but judging from the bluetooth size comparison, it looks quite bulky....and as for the price...sony ericsson's x2 = $880!?, xpPhone = $8800!?!????? all i have to say is: GTFO windows
oops..i meant 'bluetooth headset size comparison'
Yeah for real.. if that bluetooth headset is actual size.. this thing is about the size of a netbook..
I mean .. i usually hold a netbook up to my head for phone calls.. so thats ok with me really.
well, the screen is 4.8"..
so, i'd estimate about an inch, inch and a half more lenghtwise.
all in all, it's not TOO bad for a phone running XP. It'll still be easily pocketable I'm sure.
((I own an Archos 5 250gb, which sounds about the same size except I'm sure the phone'll be thinner))
I mean it is huge but how much smaller can 4.8in get.. I would take one if it came on sprint with some sort of touch flo like phone enviornment
