O2 Germany unveils the O2 Xda star Windows Mobile Phone

Following yesterday's announcement of the HTC Touch Dual, today - during the German HTC press release - O2 Germany announced the Windows Mobile 6 Professional based Xda star which is O2 Germany's version of the HTC Touch Dual. Like the Touch Dual, the Xda star is the 3G slider version of O2's HTC Touch version, the Xda nova and following the Xda nova design, the Xda star features its own slightly different design which is based on the Xda nova "reference design". However, the Xda star will be available in one version only - with the 20-key QWERTZ keypad:

Other features, like the triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and singleband UMTS/HSDPA up to 3.6 Mbps, the Qualcomm MSM7200 chip at 400 MHz, the 2.6" QVGA flat touch screen and the 2 megapixel camera plus front facing camera for video calling stays unchanged. Like the HTC Touch Dual, the Xda star also supports Bluetooth 2.0+EDR but misses WiFi (as well as GPS).

The O2 Xda star will be available exclusively from O2 Germany from early November. With a 24 months contract it will retail for 29,99 Euro.
