Keepin’ it real fake: Windows Phone 7 debuts in China

If smartphone platforms are legitimized by a KIRF manufacturer’s tenacity to tear them off, then Windows Phone has truly arrived. Today we’re staring at a bigger than life “HTC”-branded knock-off of the Omnia 7 , replete with an 800 x 480 4.8-inch (!) capacitive touchscreen and 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Given the large size of this phone, there’s lots of room for features, along with Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS connectivity, together with a five megapixel camera, dual-SIMs and two microSD slots (for as much as 32GB storage). Whew. Impressive specs aside, the device comes saddled with Windows Mobile 6.5 — which has been heavily modified to resemble WP7′s tile interface. There’s no word yet on pricing — just ask someone selling phones on a blanket the following time you’re in Shenzhen, okay?
