Ok, this translation sucks, so this is what the site basically says: ---- A Chinese mobile phone manufacturer GIONEE is attempting to break into the Taiwanese market, and thus is releasing 10 new phone models into Taiwan. Of these 10, 2 models, the S20 and V9, are designed to be game phones, much like the Nokia N-GAGE. Both the phones come with an organic NES emulator as well as A/B buttons above the screen for use when playing games. Specs of the phone: S20 -- 2" display 1.3 MegaPixel Cam 128mb internal memory Expandable T-Flash slot V9 -- 2.2" display 2 MegaPixel Cam Touch-screen Enabled/Comes with a Stylus 128mb internal memory Expandable T-Flash slot Performance: The speakers of both phones perform exceedingly well; even at loud volumes, sound projection and pitch remains clear. As for emulation performance, the colour and music emulations remains accurate. The polyphonic capabilities of the phone are able to accentuate the in-game music to provide a more complete gaming experience. Lag was not noticible in areas where it should not appear, which is very impressive for a device this small. Other than the NES emulator, the phone also contains the usual applications, like an MP3 player and camera, as well as some other more advanced features. When connected to a computer, the phone can double up as a webcam. Unfortunately, the 1.3 MegaPixel camera of the S20 is far from being capable to provide good quality images as compared to other competion. Another interesting feature is that the phones are both built with a TV-OUT jack. This means that with just a little configuration, one can play one's NES games on a TV just like the old days, or screen videos and photo slideshows for the viewing pleasure of family and friends! ---- That basically summarises the 5 pages on the site. I must say I am very impressed by the capabilities of the Chinese innovators, I am quite overwhelmed by the sheer number of cool features that they managed to squeeze into a mobile phone. Unfortunately, while the phones sounds really good, I can help but think that they are just gimmicky product out there for the novelty factor... perhaps this product may take off, but unlikely anywhere outside China/Taiwan due to copyright infringement issues. If you're really interested, your best chance is to get an import; I doubt it would reach your local phone dealers.
