The image of the Level 10 we saw back in March looked fantastic. Glossy, stylish and oh so beautiful. But now? Now reality disappoints once again.

Maximum PC’s hands on of the case shows that Thermaltake either swapped out the glossy surface in the prototype for a matted one in the finished version, or discovered that photoshopping a glossy surface onto something before you actually build one is a bad idea.

ITG's Windows XP-loving xpPhone now accepting pre-orders worldwide

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, but surely some nation in the world has pockets big enough for this.
