Jalu, since you're in the UK, stop by your local newsagents (or failing that, your local WH Smith) and pick up a copy of this months T3 (the one with the headliner "Winter Warmers"). Skip to page 16 & you'll see it sandwiched between Palm's Tungsten T3 & Creative's Muvo 2.

On top of that, click here (http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-comingsoon-Details?itemID=MAIN.UK.INTERNET.CSOON.ITEMS.O2X1) to see it when closed on Carphone Warehouse's website.

I'd paste a photo of it here but then I thought to myself 'if cats always land on their feet no matter how they fall, and toast will always land butter side down, then I wonder what will happen if I strap a piece of toast onto the back of my kitten (butter side UP) and then throw it out of my 5th floor window?'. This is when I left my PC with the photo of the X1 ready for upload in search of Mittens the kitten...

...I'll let you know the results.

Here's a review of the phone translated from German...heh heh, Google called the phone Klapphandy.

CO2 presented the Klapphandy X1 in Munich. The portable radio telephone of the Korean enterprise Maxon was manufactured. And in such a way the X1 resembles also strong the Handy Mx-a30 manufactured by Maxon.

A highlight of the X1 is the integrated digital camera. She works with a VGA dissolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Their objective is swivelling around 180 degrees. The geknipsten photos leave themselves in that to two MT large memory placing. That corresponds to approximately 100 pictures or 20 Java plays.

The X1 has a color display with 65.536 colors. It is to work with a dissolution of 128 x 160 pixels. A second exterior display is likewise present. So one can recognize detailed calls immediately also in the closed condition of the Handys. In addition the external display can indicate the date, the time and the net and Akkustatus. The Handy is well 80 g easily.

The portable radio telephone possesses the possibility MMS reports to dispatch. GPRS (class 8)und WAP are available likewise. With up to 40-stimmigen bell tones offers the X1 polyp-hone sound rendition. Data are to be able themselves to synchronize unfortunately only via USB cable, even an infrared interface are missing.
Up to 120 hours Standby time and three hours of consulting hour are to create the new Handy of CO2. The X1 will be prospective to have for under 100 euro (with contract). It is only intended for the Christmas business.




...so it's a P400 with a different hat on, seemingly.

Hah, that translates to "folder phone".

God I hate how they call phone Handys.... Though it isn't much worse than Americans calling them cell phones, when the cellular service hasn't been used in many, many years.

Maybe Samsung could be making it because of the swivel camera :rolleyes:

I took a look at Maxon's site, http://www.maxon.co.kr/eng/products/gsm.jsp# , which seems to suggest the O2 X1 is actually the same as (or very very similar to) the Maxon MX7970.

That link I posted will take you to the page but be warned it's god awful and about the worst use of Flash I've ever seen.

Still, the phone doesn't look bad though.
