Another Chinese phone with QWERTY keyboard; Runs Windows Mobile 5!

A Chinese handset maker have managed to make a device which resembles some of the popular business-centric smartphones with full QWERTY keyboard. No slide-out mechanism, this device looks like a one of the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) or HTC smartphones — and possibly has some similarities with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E61(i)/E62. That being said, I’m not going to classify this as a ripoff, as many devices on the market today have a similar keyboard.

Interesting thing to note about this phone is that while it originates from the “world’s fastest growing economy”, it doesn’t use some Chinese mobile OS, but Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s Windows Mobile 5. There’s also the 200 Mhz processor, 2 MP camera, 128 MB FLASH ROM, 64 MB RAM, and the microSD expansion slot — all packed in a familiar form factor which measures 116X64X15 mm and weighs 110 grams.

Now that I’m thinking, this may end up as a great device, especially if it gets priced as we expect it to… Two more pictures after the break.
