O2 Xphone Release date to be confirmed O2 Xphone - Australia only Subscribe to our newsletter for updates O2's new Xphone is a Windows-based Smartphone that is virtually identical to the Orange SPV and shares pretty much the same features. More conventional in layout than the O2 XDA range, the Xphone still packs the same powerful operating system into the phone. Physically, this is a slightly larger than average phone but the size and weight are fairly typical for a smart phone. Local connectivity to a PC can be done through a cable, infra-red or Bluetooth. Network support is tri-band GSM with GPRS. The Xphone has 32Mb RAM available to the user, expandable through the SD card slot, and it can also support SDIO peripherals.

The screen size 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. We are still trying to determine the availability of this handset in the UK.
