O2 Germany will release the HTC Typhoon later this year as Xda phone which is O2 Germany's first "own" Smartphone The Xda phone is a quad-band GSM/GPRS mobile phone using the "HTC Douton" ID which is basically the same ID as we knew it from the Orange SPV C550 but running Windows Mobile 5.0 instead. It also includes Bluetooth 1.2 and IrDA as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera but no Wifi b (11 Mbits) as the HTC Tornado platform provides."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050907-o2XdaPhone.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Arne Hess, over at the::unwired.net, has posted about the new O2 Xda Smartphone. Which is really just a C550 with Windows Mobile 5.0 instead of the 2003 Second Edition that Orange released it with. O2 has not announced any dates or prices, but it is expected to be available in October for around 100 Euro with contract and 300 without.
