SEFanatics posted up this Sony Ericsson W2i concept. It’s a slim, 3G take on the venerable Walkman Phone line of mobile phones from Sony Ericsson. We gotta say that we like the full-face “multi touchscreen” – very iPhone-esque. The concept packs in 6GB of storage, 3.2 megapixel shooter, WiFi, GPS, and Walkman 4.0 touchscreen edition.…

CECT’s take on the PSP phone – CECTN518-1
CECT sure is on a roll recently – but as fake PSP phones go, this one’s pretty lame. The only aspect that CECT ripped from the Sony PSP is the silvery, circle logo on the backside of the device (and the PSP-like lettering). We’re not sure what “GVP” stands for, but the CECTN518-1 sports a…
CECT 198 copies SE K810 keys – another phone, another clone
CECT, known for their prodigious clone-manufacturing, has released their CECT198 with a keypad that is strikingly similar to the Sony Ericsson K810 – but then again, making strikingly similar pieces is what CECT does best. Why they didn’t just go for broke and completely clone the SE K810 is beyond us. Still, the CECT198 sports…

Low(er)-end Shine – LG Shine KX256
LG’s Shine series is something of a beacon in the fashion-phone segment. The phones are beautifully crafted and designed, but they also come with hefty price tags. No more! LG has introduced their Shine KX256 for the lower-end (read: cheaper) of the pricing spectrum. The phone isn’t as slim as the higher end models, but…
