Specs Confirmed for General Mobile’s Next Handset


DSTL1 - NOT the new handset

General Mobile, makers of the Dual Sim DSTL1 Android handset appear to be nearing completion of their follow up device. We’ve covered the handset manufacturer a time or two here on the site, profiling them as a smaller company with a smart phone worthy of standing next to bigger players. Most recently, we reported on rumored specs for their second Android phone, assumed to be launched in early January.
We can confirm that the following specs for the handset are – they were received directly from the handset manufacturer. General Mobile added that they would be sharing information for the “forthcoming Android devices and new Android projects.” We like the sound of ‘projects’ as it indicates long(er) term investment.

Watch the XPERIA X10's Rachael Interface in Action [Android]


In case you missed it, the XPERIA X10 got official overnight. Besides the 1GHz Snapdragon processor and big 4-inch capacitive touch display, it's Sony Ericsson's beautiful Rachael interface sitting on top of Android that impresses. Take a look:
At the event, Sony Ericsson also said that the X10 is just the flagship in a new Android-powered range, and that the Rachael UI will also likely end up on its Symbian phones. Interrresting.
SlashGear points out what Engadget noticed, too: the software running on the pre-production handset shown overnight was sluggish because it's not yet optimized for the Snagdragon processor. That will no doubt change by the time the phone ships early next year.

Sony Ericsson Rachael UI Looks Anything But Android…

se_rachael_ui
…And that’s a good thing. Check out the two minute video below which shows what the Sony Ericsson Rachael UI looks like when doing some of the increasingly more common phone tasks. We’re no longer just making and receiving calls - We want to play videos, look at pictures, and listen to music. If the user interface ends up looking like the concept video, consider us officially “in love”.

There’s nary a drop of stock Android to be phone in the design and that’s probably what the SE folks had in mind. It’s elegant, functional, and certainly unique. May we also add that it is astonishing? As in “The Astonishing Tribe“. TAT is one of the founding members of the Open Handset Alliance and has done work with Sony Ericsson so it would not be a surprise to us at all if they were behind this design. Swing by their showroom and take a look at some of their other work!
