I can’t remember the last time i heard or saw the word “Philips” while i was not in the kitchen or playing a quick game of curling with my old CD player.

Philips is trying to make it back into our world and guess with what ?
No not perfume silly , that’s for celebrities… Cell phones, a touch cell phone mind you.

The two new models from Philips are dubbed the X800 and Xenium X-Connect

The Philips X800 (pictured right) specs point it out to be a tri-band GSM handset with a 2.9-inch 262K color TFT display and of course with ..drum roll.. a touch sensitive screen.
There’s also a 2 megapixel auto focus camera in there.

In true iPhone ripoff fashion, the interface is fully touch based with a twist: It supports hand writing recognition .

The Philips Xenium X-Connect on the other hand  will run Windows Mobile 6 a slightly larger 3-inch display. GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA, integrated GPS-receiver are also on the roster.
