Update: Oh snap, this thing sure looks like the Xenium 800.

Hi Everybody
Are you done yet?
instead of wasting the first post with bs, why dont you say something relevant.
Hi Dr. Nick!
AA/AAA battery backup
Does that mean i just can use AA or AAA batteries with it?
Without any dongles or packs clipped onto it?
if so, i want one.
We need more stuff that works on standart batteries.
I think it means you can run it in an emergency or about 20 - 30 mins off a couple of AAAs if your battery fails and you dont have the ability to charge it
that's a joke, right?
AAA battery backup? ...
Battery technology is still bad.. :/
You won't be missing much. Philips phones are junk.
here's what we'll be missing: Windows
Why that's odd! I haven't missed it once!
Things to avoid if you don't want to be accused of ripping off the iPhone:
* Black front fascia
* Chrome bezel
Philips scores on neither of these points...
*Sigh*
Things Philips shouldnt worry about :
Accusations of having an appearance similiar to the iPhone
People judging their product by its facial similarities to the iPhone
Things Philips should be worried about :
Making a great phone!
hello
It seems quite pretty. Let's see how it will work.
The iPone is not that revolutionary or unique in design. It is just heavily marketed
I have a 2005 Dell Axim X51. Most of the times I use it in public, people ask me if it’s an iphone.
The iphone was not the first touchscreen device and not the last!
Are they blind?
It looks really nice, a lot more professional than the iPhone, I must add.
All it needs now is a decent looking UI.
If these things become available soon, and have decent features (other than those displayed) i would probably go and get one, to me it looks like one of the best phone designs on the market.
Though hvnt used a phone with windows, hopefully it aint as bad as many people say... whats the blackberry use as an os anyway?
ha, I saw that and thought it was a scanner.
i did too. :)
then i thought "wait, touchscreen scanner.... 3 inch what?"
one remark...
...It's just that philips sold it's cellphone devision to some asian company that was given the right to sell shit under the philips name for like a year or so (from now)....
...So a lot of asian l'odeur wiil be be on this phone...
(not saying this is a bad bad thing...cuz philips sucked at cellphones).
