In today’s world, there’s a growing number of people who can speak more than a single language, and it doesn’t surprises to see a handset manufacturer releasing a phone that actually supports typing in two languages.
The ZTE D Evolution is a clamshell handset with two different alphabets (Cyrillic and Latin) on the keypad, giving users across Europe an ability to send text messages in their own language, while supporting the other Europe-wide popular alphabet at the same time. We don’t have much details about the ZTE D Evolution — all we know that it packs a 3G radio and some camera.
Interesting idea… The next step could be to somehow bundle some far east alphabet on a keyboard. Or, to go for a touchscreen and make all alphabets available on a single handset… One more photo after the break.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
