Code written just for you in free time, Take a look

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load("");
        XmlNodeList nodeList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("Item");
        foreach (XmlNode node in nodeList)
        {
//Check with respected id value you have got
            if (node["id"].Value == "Motorola Blackflip")
            {
                Panel panel = new Panel();
                foreach (XmlElement element in node)
                {
                
if (element.Name != "image")
                    {
                        Label lbl = new Label();
                        lbl.Text = String.Format("<b>{0}</b>:{1}", element.Name, element.Value); ;
                        panel.Controls.Add(lbl);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Image img = new Image();
                        img.ImageUrl = element.Value;
                        panel.Controls.Add(img);
                    }
                }
                Page.Controls.Add(panel);
