With Chinese handset cloners getting better every day, now it’s more important than ever to watch out what you’re buying. Lately we’ve spotted a device that clearly resembles Nokia 5300 and/or 5700, but is NOT a mobile phone. Rather, Chinese company decided to go without any cellphone radios and create a pure phone-like portable media player. The end result is a weird device which has some very decent specs for a PMP, yet has the regular numeric keypad.
Speaking of specs, potential suckers — after all it’s not the quality you’ll get from the company which makes this kind of “devices” — could expect 2.4″ screen; support for AVI and 3GP video and MP3, MIDI, WAV, WMA and AAC audio files; some preinstalled games; and 8GB of built-in storage space.
We’ve no idea how much this device costs, and frankly we don’t wanna know. It’s just our duty to inform you that these kind of devices exist and that, once again, you should be extra careful!

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.
