Remember the XDA Zest Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone that was rumored to be in the works in ASUS’s R&D labs? Right, well it looks like ASUS has finally gone live with the WinMo handset on O2 (NYSE: TEF)’s network. Known officially by its rebranded moniker, the O2 XDA Zest is being billed as the first XDA-branded smartphone to be offered on O2’s Pay&Go pre-pay plans.
O2 is expected to make the XDA Zest available to the consuming public on November 17th with a non-contract £250 ($395) price tag. For the contract-lovers out there, the XDA Zest will be made available for significantly cheaper (even free) when purchased with a qualifying rate plan (tariff).
With 3G (HSDPA), WiFi, GPS, 3 megapixel camera, and a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, the O2 XDA Zest looks like a decent Windows Mobile smartphone.
