General Mobile’s Touch Stone
General Mobile — maker of the DSTL1 dual-SIM Android phone — has always walked a fine line between KIRF and originality with its phones, and its latest batch is no different. Normally it’s easy to resist a device widely regarded as a knockoff, but in the case of the newest model here, General Mobile’s actually managed to answer a question HTC’s failed to so far: where the hell is the HD2 with Android? The so-called “Touch Stone” rings true to many of the actual HD2′s specs, from the 5 megapixel camera to the 4.3-inch capacitive WVGA display, but this adds an “optional” analog TV tuner and Android 2.0 atop an ARM9-based PXA935 core. This phone doesn’t quite exist yet.
