I have seen some pretty ugly Android handsets (well not that many) however none even come close to the EMobile Smart Bar S42HW handset.
The Smart Bar which resembles a cross between an old school handset that you would expect from the Sony Ericsson camp and a modern day O/S is manufactured by Huawei and packs the following.
- OS: Android 2.3
- CPU: Qualcomm MSM7227 800MHz
- RAM: 512MB
- ROM: 512MB
- Size: 133 × 51 × 10.45mm
- Weight: 114g
- Display: 3 inches TFT LCD Capacitance Type
- Resolution: 800 × 480 WVGA
- Camera: 5MP (rear)
- Network: W-CDMA (1700/2100MHz) GSM (900/1800/1900MHz)
- HSPA HSUPA GPRS
- Communication: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
- Sensors: Infrared GPS (IrDA SIR)
- External terminal: microSD
- Battery: Li-Ion 1100mAh
- Enclosure Colour: Black, Brown, White
- Other: Infrared, tethering support (connect up to five), with keypad
If you stay in Japan then you can expect to see this on the 22nd of September for around 29,800 yen.
