Other specs include:

  • Qualcomm 528 MHz MSM 7225 CPU
  • UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA support
  • 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen (why not VGA?)
  • Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi
  • GPS receiver
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM
  • microSD expansion slot

O2 will start selling the Xda Guide from February of next year and will bundle it with a 1GB microSD card with TomTom Navigator 7 pre-loaded, along with maps for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Price was not disclosed, though.
