 While we here at Wirelessinfo do not condone ripping off other companies in any way, we do ask that if you're going to go through the hassle, please don't make it so hilarious.
The Doubao 777, developed by a Chinese company, makes use of some dumbphone technology.
Yes, this puppy is a member of the 'Window' phone family. That's 'Window' ... Singular. Presumably the Chinese knock-off is only capable of opening one 'Window.' Period.
Even more impressive is the schizophrenic switch from upper-case letters to lower-case on the word 'TOUCHSCReeN.'
The Doubao 777 is being sold in Taiwan currently, but we are anxiously awaiting a future release that will support the Linucks and Pom operating systems.
