Phillips has finally announced the X800, this new edge to edge touchscreen phone. The timing couldn't be better to do it with the regular iPhone shortage around the world, the new BlackBerry Bold release, the HTC Touch Diamond coming out and the new iPhone rumors spreading more and more. And all these things are happening as we speak so let's welcome the X800 to the ballgame.

Let's look at some numbers here:

2G Network GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900
ype TFT touchscreen, 256K colors
240 x 400 pixels (Wide QVGA), 2.9 inches
microSD (TransFlash)
GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots), 32 - 48 kbps
Bluetooth v2.0 w
USB support
Camera: 2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels with autofocus and video
Built-in handsfree
Battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion

Ok, I feel like something is missing from the X800... Didn't hear any 3G? HSDPA? EVDO? EDGE? Safe to say this Phillips X800 might compete with the regular old iPhone.

The touch mania never ends. The latest to enter the already congested market headed by the Apple iPhone, is the Xenium 800 from Philips. Although the Xenium series is known for its long-lasting battery life , sometimes up to a month, the Xenium 800 is no less than any other touchscreen phone out there, being even better than some. But of course, given the sparsity of some real info, we really can't vouch for that. What we do know is that the cell phone packs a WQVGA e2e (edge to edge) screen covering almost all of the front bezel and runs on an unknown operating system. And that the device has WiFi. That's where the details stop, but be sure to check back with us when we have some more!

Not to be mistaken for the other M600, this nice-looking candybar comes from Philips bound for China. While the design doesn't give us much to complain about, this dual-band GSM phone is pretty much low end except for its music-oriented features.

The phone packs a 1.3-megapixel camera, a 2-inch 256k-color 170x220 pixel display, microSD support, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and Java MIDP 2.0 support. Coming to its better side, its music playing capabilities, a set of in-ear headphones is bundled with the phone and there are dedicated hotkeys for playback control. The device promises to deliver up to 40 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge and supports mp3, MIDI, WMA, WAV, and AMR audio formats. The highlight of the phone has to be its built-in SRS WOW equalizer feature, which renders better sound quality by simulating 3D Surround Sound.

While the M600 is headed to China, the fact that it supports T9 text input in English, French, Turkish, Russian apart from Chinese Simplified and Traditional may be taken as a hint that it won't stay China only for long. No price or release date has been announced yet.
