O2 Germany's turns HTC Touch Dual into "Xda star"
by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 4th 2007 at 12:21PM
Didn't take long at all following HTC's
official announcement of the Touch Dual for carriers to start getting on board. First up is O2 German with the "Xda star," continuing O2's longstanding tradition of appending somewhat random words onto "Xda" to come up with names for its smartphone hardware. The Xda star's design differs slightly from the Touch Dual reference design -- note the retooled button layout below the screen -- but specs are otherwise unchanged. It'll be available in the SureType-esque 20-key layout only when it launches next month for just shy of €30 (about $43) on a two-year contract. Man, can
we get it for $43 on contract, please?

Great improvement on the button layout. I'll look for one when in Hong Kong in a few weeks.

Without you will get it for 450 Euro (quite a difference)... :-|
But anyway, keep in mind that it will be available with the German OS only (even if there are chances you are getting the English Touch Dual OS running on the Xda star as well).
