After the Buddha Golden phone created in China was spotted these days on the Internet, another unusual phone appeared from the Yellow River's country. Called the X-Phone, this new device comes to surprise mobile users with its design. If the surprise is a good or a bad one depends on what kind of user evaluates the phone.

The X-Phone has a candybar form and its plastic case together with the big and green X under the display makes it look like a toy-phone, hence a kid would sure be surprised in a good way. Its size (102 x 45 x 13 millimeters and 82 grams) would suit perfectly any high-end mobile phone, but I'm afraid the X-phone's features make it rather an entry-level one.

The handset packs a 1.8 inch 260K color display with a 176 x 220 pixel resolution, assorted with a 1.3 Megapixel camera that will not be able to provide good quality photos. Furthermore, the green X-phone includes a media and music player (no details about the supported formats), a large speaker, positioned in the back, and microSD card slot. No other specifications are known, like the OS the phone runs on, the internal memory or the battery's power.

We must say that there are other two phones named "Xphone", coming under the O2 brand. The first one dates from 2003, but the second, O2 Xphone II, is quite new and it's a tri-band GSM/GPRS smartphone that offers many nice features and a cool design, therefore having nothing to do with the Chinese X-phone.

Back to the green X, there are no details about the phone's availability or about its price, but we can assume the device can't retail for more than 200 USD. Or, if it does, then there's something rotten in Denmark. Erm, I mean China.
