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’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.
