probably good point is that you can delete Windows and put Linux on it.

    Having a Droid 3 (4" screen with QWERTY keyboard), the screen size has left me wanting something bigger.

    This device offers 4.3" screen and QWERTY keyboard - something no other mobile device on the market does.

    This is fast ticking all the boxes for my next phone.

        Yeah, GSMArena, you're right: Who would want an ultra-small computer running Windows 7 or 8? If this was labeled in the same category as the Viliv N5, people would be lauding it. Instead, it's being made fun of? Not really sure why. It's definitely not for everyone, but for those who want a very pocketable full-fledge computer, this thing is pretty great.

                      Anonymous, 29 Oct 2011I love single cure cpuThe one and only advantage of a running the"original" ie PC version of Windows is........... the makers of the phone do not have to write a while lot of apps for it, the apps already exist. All new mobile OS have to try and attract a lot of apps writers for the success of the phone. It is not the hardware but the apps available which define the success or not of phones.

                            It will be awesome. It will be a great tool in pocket to replace netbooks and tablets.

                              it seems tuberculous,
                              1st, price and size? if $499+ I prefer galaxy 2 or the galaxy notes, or 7.7 inch galaxy tab, vs 4 inch screen?
                              2nd performance,Atom? it is a slow processor, poor multimedia performance
                              3rd, 2g ram, is not enough to power up window 8, drain u dry...
                              400g? it bloody heavy, i rather go a tablet things,
                              most smart phone is below 15og

                                  Too bad, the 1st ITGXP phone never reach my country. Otherwise I would have bought it. Hoping somebody in my country knows about existence of this phone. 2nd XP PHONE is good, I will be waiting. There is an XP PHONE by FUJITSU but battery life is too short. Actually I prefer any Windows Xp/7/8 phones over IOS/Android/Symbian/WP7 wiTH full PC/Desktop onboard. A phone like OQO will be a bonus.

                                      why would they want to come out with a phone runing full windows OS with single cure CPU and a screen size under 5inch? windows is a big program that needs lots of memory, cpu speed and a hi rez big display for vewig. are they livig on our planet?

                                        Why are they pissing against the wind with this? Just go with Android or Mango.
