It’s been awhile since we last saw the xpPhone, a quick, quiet demonstration at Computex that left us doubting whether the thing would ever see the light of day outside a packed showroom floor. It seems our doubts are about to be put to rest as ITG, creator of the thing, has thrown up a pre-order page on the phone’s website. There’s no mention of a price, and indeed you won’t be asked to plunk down any cash right now (it’s not much of a pre-order), but what’s interesting is that it asks you to choose between 3G modules for Vodafone, Orange, or AT&T. That means ITG seemingly has aspirations of a global release for this thing, and while we’re not sure how many people are going to want to lug around a MID-sized monster celly with a “super big” 4.8-inch LCD and a weight of nearly a pound, surely some nation in the world has pockets big enough for this.
