Chinese companies are getting super serious in the mobile game. ZTE already announced plans to emerge as one of the top 5 Android smartphone makers, and now we’re hearing Huawei will launch a high-end Android smartphone during the second half of the year. We don’t have all the details, but the rumor is that the upcoming device will rock a 3.7-inch screen, running some “custom 3D interface” on top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
If I were at Huawei I wouldn’t waste my resources on custom UIs. Rather I would spend all the cash on designers to make the phone actually look cool. Let’s face it – most of today’s high-end smartphones are pretty similar, specs wise — at the end, we get to pick the design we like the most. Sure there are few differences here and there, but nothing major. All modern phones are pretty fast, all come with large screens and awesome displays. We can only hope Chinese handset makers will figure this out too and introduce some cool-lookin’ yet affordable devices…

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.
