What you’re about to see is a new Chinese mobile phone which features the mouse-like scroll wheel. Other than that I don’t find anything special on this device. There’s a 3″ QVGA screen, 1.3 MP camera, stereo speakers, media player and the standard microSD memory slot.
Now that I’m thinking, maybe this isn’t such a bad idea. If we can’t get the iPhone-like scrolling on a non-touchscreen devices, the scroll wheel may be the answer. And I’m not talking about joywheel which was up until recently used on BlackBerry devices and nowadays still used on Sony Ericsson smartphones. Not that joywheel don’t get the job done, it’s just that some other well-known handset manufacturers could implement this to make us scrolling way more convenient, while differentiating themselves from the Swedish-Japanese phone maker at the same time. Any thoughts?
