HKC Pearl steals name from RIM, look from HTC; Runs Android!

I always thought this will happen. Once Google releases Android to the open source community, all those Chinese handset cloners makers will start installing it on their devices. Today we present you with one such device called HKC Pearl. As you can see from the image above, the device clearly resembles the HTC Touch, yet uses the name of the popular BlackBerry smartphone.

Aside from running Google’s Android OS, it also comes with a 624MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 2.8-inch touchscreen and a 2 megapixel camera. We haven’t found 3G among the specs — EDGE is the best you can get…

I doubt we’ll see the HKC Pearl moving outside of Asia since both RIM’s and HTC’s legal departments would slap HKC with a lawsuite as soon as the Pearl starts hitting stores.
