I like writing about certain Chinese phones. While I’m well aware that some handset manufacturers in the world’s fastest growing economy will end up guilty for various copyright infringements, I find it very interesting to watch their speed of producing new devices, with some of them sporting such features even phones from the well-known brands lack — i.e. WQVGA displays, more than 2 speakers.
Recently I’ve spotted one such device which sports 3.8″ touchscreen. No, it’s not WQVGA, yet it’s huge enough for comfortable video playback. Other specs include TV out, 2 MP camera, media player, stereo Bluetooth and four powerful speakers. The bad side is — you guessed correctly — the size. This phone measures 135x68x16 mm and weighs 360 grams. Way too much in my book. On the second thought, device this large may target industrial usage…
Check out more photos and a video 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.
