If it wasn’t for the name and the “familiar” look, the Xing Bao N98 would be an interesting device. Similarly to the Samsung UpStage, this Chinese phone sports two screens — one on the front and the other on the back of the device. The front part is reserved for the huge 3″ touchscreen, while the back has the good ol’ physical keypad, kinda smallish 1.2″ display and Apple logo.
Other specs include Bluetooth, handwriting input support, 1.3 MP camera, dual-band GSM radio, and of course the microSD slot. As you may’ve expected, this ugly baby costs like next to nothing and you can pick it up for $180 on your next trip to China…

Dusan Belic
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.
