General Mobile’s DSTL1 will be shown off at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month, featuring dual SIM slots, a 400 x 240 screen, and running on Android. Apparently the hardware will see a few changes from these shots in order to accommodate the OS, but you get the idea. Full specifications include:

  • Dual-SIM cards with dual-Standby mode
  • 624MHz Marvell PXA 310 processor
  • Tri-band GSM/EDGE support (900/1800/1900MHz)
  • 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, 260k colors
  • 802.11b/g WiFi support
  • Bluetooth
  • 135g (4.75oz), 112 x 54 x 16mm (4.4 x 2.1 x .6 inches)
  • 5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash (made by Sharp)

Regardless of specs, that’s a much sexier looking Android device than the G1. We can expect to see this one in Q3 of 2009.

    From the sounds of Michael’s post, he was talking with someone from the company, and there might not be any official spec sheet until MWC – they’re probably just going to be making another Android model based on this original one.
