Yesterdays news ;)

Seems to be a great device. No the latest and greatest. But most users don't need the horse powers.

Not so expensive! great move. Its something like this jolla should release. or why not as a tizen device.

Finally, a SMARTPHONE that has both sims activated simultaneously. Not for me though (rather stay with 'pure' linux), but for my parents :P

Props to Samsung for keeping with removable storage.

But hey, it comes with a 5 inch WVGA dispay. 480p is too bad for a 5 inch screen I guess? It might spoil the UX.

[EDIT] At the same time, HTC cancelled a 5 inch 1080p phone since WP8 doesn't support full HD.

Yup its a phone for older people hence the low-res so that things seem large enough for them to read...
