ITG xpPhone shown off in green, and yes, you can have a different color

This isn't the first time we've seen what would appear to be an xpPhone dummy in the wild paired with a mocked-up display; that honor would go to a Computex debut earlier this year. What these new shots of ITG's Windows XP-powered wonder do demonstrate, though, is what a MID-turned-smartphone looks like with a lick of moss green painted around the edges. It's not really our style, to be honest -- and fortunately, it seems that ITG will be offering the production device in white, red, black, or silver (on top of a limitless array of 3G options, display sizes, and operating systems), but heck, we'd be happy taking it in ochre if they'd just promise a reasonably-priced release in the next century.

why is the display so small?

and are there any shots of this baby running actual windows programs?

@(Unverified)

Because they were designed for pint-sized people with fat fingers.

I hope the real phone doesn't look like the dummy. It looks like a toy that they put together over night and called it good. Maybe it's just the lighting, but that keyboard looks janky.

that looks more like a WHITE phone to me. when more xpPhones come, hopefully they will tweak the design to have less screen border, slimmer etc

I know I'm boring.

@AndroidRokz
xp has thousands of apps and programs and beats iphone for programs and android when it comes to modifications... however xp needs i7 and i7 eats batteries.

This thing looks like an attempt to be as Soviet as possible in aesthetics and ergonomics.

Wow, that is freaking ugly. In any color...

FUGLY!!!

[Psychosoldier Posted Dec 12th 2009 1:12PM]

Only thing is XP is a pretty archaic operating system at this point. I wouldn't feel safe using it on a phone. Then again, I do like it more than Windows Mobile.

[soupisgoodfood Posted Dec 12th 2009 6:35PM]

Why would I want XP on such a small device, again? Is it something to do with the inadequacies of Windows Mobile?

"It's not really our style, to be honest"

Because its a real and good looking color for a change? Red is just a signal color and belongs to traffic signs, black is just 100% darkness and no color, silver is just grey and just as good looking as Windows 3.1 and no real color as well. Just my 2 cents. I would welcome an iPhone with open arms that looks like this: http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=167
