Philips has imbued its power-sipping Xenium line with some reasonably attractive industrial design in the past, so we’re not too sure what they’re thinking with this latest D908 here; granted, it’s apparently got WinMo 6.5 on board, but that’s no excuse — goodness knows there are plenty of beautiful devices on the market these days with Microsoft guts. The upshot, though, is that this has EV-DO with an eye on a Chinese launch, a surefire sign that it’ll be coming to China Telecom. Other features include a WVGA display, 5 megapixel cam, 2GB of onboard storage with microSD expansion up to 32GB, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and an integrated FM radio. Just figure out how to slip this into a case 3 or 4mm thinner than the D908’s beefy 14.5mm, Philips, and you’ve got a winner on your hands.
