We don’t get to write a lot about Chinese handset maker Newman, but their latest device definitely caught our attention. The soon-to-be-released Newman N2 will pack a ton of good stuff, including a 4.7-inch 720p HD touchscreen, 13-megapixel camera on the back, though only 8GB of built-in storage. But wait, there’s more – this little fella will get its power from the 1.5 GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor, which is the same one used in the Galaxy S III. And that’s not all, all this will be available for 1,499 yuan, which translates into some $240. Talk about the value for money. Yeah, it runs Ice Cream Sandwich (rather than Jelly Bean) but we’re sure an update will be released shortly to address this.
When it comes to the design, Newman is currently running a contest allowing potential owners to select the right look and feel for the phone. Hopefully, we’ll soon hear something about the company’s export plans…

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.
