General Mobile DSTL1, an Android-based dual SIM cell phone


The rumors about the Google operating system designed for mobile phones have created sensation since the first day they were launched and they came to a head when the T-Mobile G1 became a dream come true.

You know that an Android-based cell phone is, indeed, one of the most powerful desires of manufacturers worldwide, but it’s not like anyone who dares to dream is also capable of bold actions. However, it seems that more and more companies are eager to design such handsets, and the same happened with General Mobile, which you haven’t heard about it (and it’s quite ok, ‘cause it’s not like many people have), being an unknown player in the realm of mobile phones.



Rumors say that General Mobile is preparing one hell of a surprise for those who are waiting for the next Android-based mobile phone. The company is expected to present a dual SIM cell phone, powered by the Google mobile operating system, at the Mobile World Congress 2009, which is to be held in February.

The DSTL1 Imaginary lacks the 3G connectivity, which is a great disadvantage, but it features, among others: a 3 inch TFT display (manufactured by Sharp) with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera equipped with autofocus which is also Sharp-branded, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and EDR, FM radio with RDS, a 624MH Marvell processor, an internal memory of 4GB and a microSD card slot. The phone provides up to 240 minutes of talk time and up to 150 hours of stand-by time.

Taking into consideration the fact that there were other attempts already to release an Android-based cell phone which were taken to the level of promises, we shouldn’t get very excited with this dual SIM cell phone. If you remember, for example, the Kogan Agora, then you must know that many similar devices are still… imaginary.
