Ju Xing X800 180 Degree Swirl Phone

You must have gotten used to seeing Chinese manufactured mobile phones by now, mainly because they are starting to be available everywhere and another one of them seems to appear each day.

In most cases, Chinese phones are clones of other more popular phones manufactured by Nokia, Sony Ericsson or even Apple's iPhone.

One thing they all have in common is the touchscreen which seems to be essential for Chinese people, because I can't imagine why they would insist on including it in each and every one of their mobile phones if it weren't very important for them.

This time, we get to see the Ju Xing H800, also known as the CECT A706, which quite surprisingly doesn't look similar to any phone we've seen before. The mobile phone's design is very interesting. It reminds you a bit of the RAZR but has a swivel 2.2 inch 256k color touchscreen with a 176 x 220 pixel resolution which again goes to show that it's impossible for Chinese manufacturers not to include a touchscreen in all of their phones.

Aside from its good looks, the stylish 180 degree swirl phone's feature list isn't that bad either. It comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, Karaoke function, MP3 player, support for MP4 and 3GP file formats, handwriting input, voice recognition, and a world time and currency converter.

In order for the user to store a whole song collection the mobile phone also features a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion. The 760k internal memory is much too small to store anything on it.

The mobile phone comes with 2 batteries, and will last up to 150-200 minutes of talk time or 80-180 hours on standby. It measures 93 × 46 × 18 mm and is available for $154 here.
