14 DAY TRIAL // While most of the visitors at CTIA immediately pull towards the booths of major manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola or others, it's only the ones that take their time in exploring what everyone has to offer who discover interesting yet awkward mobile phones like this one, the Thunder Super Radio HiFi phone, a Chinese product, as some may have guessed. This comes right after the Cigarette King, the phone that was designed to look as a pack of cigarettes and even be able to store them, and makes you wonder what the Chinese will include in a phone next.
See it from the front and it'll look just like your average mobile phone, sporting a color screen, a numeric keypad, to keep it short, everything you see in just about any handset. All this changes when you flip the phone over and discover that it doesn't only include a camera but also a huge speaker, TV/FM/AM radio tuner and digital display.
If first seen from the back, most people would probably not be able to tell if it's a mobile phone. The extra screen on the back can display track information such as song title or artist, and the speaker is said to be exceptionally loud and clear. The phone also includes a 2.4-inch 'main' screen and a 1.3 megapixel camera.
It can play MP3 and MP4 file formats and comes equipped with a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion, so one can assume that there'll be no problems in storing a sufficient number of tracks. No other details were provided so far. The dual-band GSM phone is reportedly already available in Taiwan, although there's not much info on where one could buy it or for how much.
