This IS NOT a philips phone, they sold their mobile phone business to CEC (a chinese company) any new phone for the next few year will be just a REBADGE and not a Philips phone.

Well, nice phone, low specs, but if it is to be sold only in India or China, well, there is no real use of WiFis and 3Gs and stuff, is there? Since Philips sold its mobile handset business most of its phones are just about battery life. Still I must say I long the days philips phones were in Europe! The genie still works fine! Any way, I think that I may order the x-connet online! I looks Great!!! and about no wifi? Well even here in Europe it isn't that big-a-deal. I someone wants the full internet experience he/she probably already has a laptop, aint he? So why bother for wifi? I said that also about the iphone and as my friends who already bought it tell me, they can use it olny in their house, like instead of the Mac! PLEASE!!!

Nice design, I like it, it's this type of phone that the users don't get bored off. I see people are already complaining about the low spec, though I think it is right in saying, this isn't a high-end smartphone, though it has touch-screen, it looks like a full touch-screen is aiming at the middle-class.

It does have WiFi. If you click on the photo and look at the left of the left photo you can see that WiFi is on.

Wifi is not essential on phones, but only a nice feature to have. It would be essential if hotspots are available on every street corner, but it's not. Also, full internet access costs around $20/month, & while wifi may be free at SOME cafes, you still need to get an access code, & guess what, you have to order something before the cashier would give you the access, unless of course you're a cheap jerk. Also, most good wifi signals are secured and requires a fee (like at the airports), so in the end you'd be spending some money also. I say don't be cheap. If internet access is so important to you. Get it through your provider & access the web wherever you're at, instead of checking every block for wifi, LOL.

I see a lot of people whining about some features that this phone doesn't have, like not having wifi, 3g or edge, without even considering that this phone might be for those consumers with budget limits, but would like a cool looking smartphone like this one. There is another model coming out. It's the X-Connect. That one I've heard would be the high end one with better features. I wish that people would learn to be less hasty to judge. Especially on products that is not even out yet, or does not even have a price tag yet. I guess those who complain would feel stupid if this phone is announced to be priced around $250 only.

no wifi is such a disadvantage for X800 compete to iphone, so it must be much cheaper than iphone
besides, no EDGE no 3G, it couldn't be hi-end device
i just want to know its price ;) I'll buy one if price under $250

No wifi, I can survive.
No design, I may survive.

Phillips should b banned from manufacturing any products.
