Philips has officially launched its Xenium X800 e2e touchscreen phone. However, the phone is apparently lacking a lot of features that are in-demand nowadays. Toting only GPRS network support (Yes, 3G is a no-no and not even EDGE), 2 megapixel camera and ho-hum 2.9-inch screen, it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the makings of an “iPhone Killer.”
Philips Xenium X800 handset is expected to be released exclusively for the Chinese market.
