Palm’s second webOS phone, the Pixi has been spotted wearing GSM clothes. The phone isn’t yet available anywhere but a GSM prototype is out in the wild in Vietnam. As you can see in the picture here, the Pixi is “World Ready” which means that other carriers beside Sprint can sell in the USA. Not to mention that other international carriers will want to get in on the action and grab this GSM webOS phone as soon as it becomes available.

The Pixi here is most likely a version made for usage outside of the U.S. It has only 4GB of internal memory storage available instead of the regular 8GB memory that equips the Pixi headed to Sprint.

Pantech and Verizon are about to launch a new world phone, the Escapade which is supposedly coming on August 21. The phone will work both on Verizon’s CDMA network and on other GSM networks which means you can take it with you at all times, no matter where you decide to travel to. The phone will not impress you with specs as it comes with a measly 2-megapixel shooter and GPS. We will be waiting for a price tag and more consistent information on the Escapade and we will keep you updated.

It’s always good to start the day with a minty fresh flip mobile phone from Sony Ericsson. The Sony Ericsson Z750 phone has now gained FCC approval and is on its way to the world markets. The Z750 is a UMTS/HSDPA quad-band GSM mobile phone and boasts a number of features including Bluetooth, MusicDJ/PhotoDJ/VideoDJ and external memory card support. It also supports flight mode, allowing you to use it as a music player on a plane. The phone offers a USB connectivity for data sync with your PC or laptop. There are two cameras on-board, one for video telephony in the front and another 2 megapixel one at the back.

On the side, it has volume control, play/pause and digital zoom control keys. The Sony Ericsson Z750i takes in M2 memory sticks. The phone also features voice control and voice dialing of your contacts for convenience, especially when you are driving and don’t want to be bothered with such mundane things as dialing a number on the keypad. The phone is MMS-capable as well.

There’s also a radio integrated into the phone. It was targeted for a Q3 2007 release, and might have just made it. No word on the pricing or exact date of availability yet.
