Not one to string us along endlessly, Philips has ‘fessed up to its pair of touchscreen phones, the X800 and the Xenium X-Connect. The X800 does it low-end with a 2.9-inch 240 x 400 screen, 2G GSM for input (no EDGE or WiFi!), a 2 megapixel camera, microSD slot and Bluetooth. Interestingly, the phone offers a documents reader and handwriting recognition, but that hardly seems to be that next do-it-all handheld you’ve been dreaming of,

though the battery life is laudable. The Xenium X-Connect steps things up considerably, however, with Windows Mobile 6, UMTS and HSDPA, and a 3-inch display — which hopefully sports a few more pixels. Still no WiFi, though, and other details like launch price and day are still slim.
