If it wasn’t for the name and the “familiar” look, the Xing Bao N98 would be an interesting device. Similarly to the Samsung UpStage, this Chinese phone sports two screens — one on the front and the other on the back of the device. The front part is reserved for the huge 3″ touchscreen, while the back has the good ol’ physical keypad, kinda smallish 1.2″ display and Apple logo. Other specs include Bluetooth, handwriting input support, 1.3 MP camera, dual-band GSM radio, and of course the microSD slot. As you may’ve expected, this ugly baby costs like next to nothing and you can pick it up for $180 on your next trip to China… [Via: uberphones ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:There's no such thing as Nokia N86!Nokia 6110 Classic InformationChinese N92 phone uses Nokia's naming scheme; Has nothing to do with the original Nokia N92Nokia Supports ASD SchemeChange your iPhone's SMS text message bubbles to a matte finish - iPhone Matte

File this under “yeah, right” but apparently the world’s most known iPhone clone will sport three, instead of a single button.

Finally, it’s fair to say we welcome Meizu’s changes and are also hoping they will be tweaking their interface even more so they don’t get slammed by Apple’s legal department.

CES is certainly the place to be. Yes, we’ll be sending our team there as well. And guess who’s also going to attend? Meizu - the folks behind the world’s most famous iPhone clone, MiniOne M8. Now I could go on and on about the “right thing to do” and whether this is a “smart move” or not on behalf of Chinese manufacturer. But, Engadget has put it quite simply — it’s much better to keep this thing (MiniOne M8) as the China-only project.

It DOES sound fun. ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:More Meizu MiniOne M8 media player screenshots; This is getting ridiculousMeizu M8 Is Now miniOne, Is Still iPhone KnockoffMeizu's MiniOne M8 user interface looks too familiar?First Meizu miniOne for U.S./Europe to be a non-phone device!?Meizu MiniOne specs revealed; I want one
