• Bluetooth
• GPS
• Front-facing VGA camera
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• 1GHz Snapdragon processor
• 8GB of storage
• Android 1.6 OS

You can just see but the picture above that the phone can be used in two different ways – as a stand-alone touchscreen phone, or it can be clipped into the cradle to utilise the bizarre looking keyboard!

For the moment its release will be restricted to China (some time in this first quarter of 2010) and there is no word about whether or not it will appear in the UK.
