Chinese smartphone imitates sincerely flatters Palm Centro
We can understand Asian companies nicking paying homage to Western smartphone designs, but why risk demo'ing them just a few minutes' walk from the original manufacturer's booth?
Enter Chinese handset maker Sim Tecnology, which at Mobile World Congress this week showed off its N8 Windows Mobile smartphone - a short distance away …
Of course it looks different enough - that's the point. Pity that in making it look different enough they also made it similar enough to the cheap 70s calculator I have at the bottom of a draw somewhere.
Paris, because while she may be cheap she looks nothing like a calculator.

With a qwerty keyboard. There aren't that many possible designs out there. Screen at the top, keyboard at the bottom.

I had a couple of smart phones from China. Cheap and good, but battery life is usually very sad...
