This phone is really HOT! Apart from its ability to use dual GSM SIM cards at once (so you can have two different phone numbers), it also comes with a unique design (notice the pad that is placed beside the numeric keypad instead of at the center like general’s phone layout) and a cool artistic art on the back. About the specs, well, somehow the translation I got from its Chinese source is very strange, but I’ll try to do my best… Let’s see.. a large 2.2-inch touchscreen display, media player (MP3 and MPEG4), microSD card slot, and 64-polyphonic ringtone. The translation also mentioned about its video recording capability, but no detail about its camera module. A standard 2.0MP I guess.
