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 or HTC smartphones — and possibly has some similarities with Nokia 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’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.
