Mysterious smartphone offers up integrated 7.1 surround sound
Believe us, we've seen "surround sound" get put in places it was never meant to be, and while the likes of headphones, laptops, and even PDAs have yet to be spared as companies try anything to attract attention to their presumably lackluster offerings, the mobile phone doesn't typically see such desperate measures -- until now, of course. While minor gimmicks are fairly commonplace on humdrum overseas handsets, a mysterious Hong Kong-derived smartphone (another snap after the jump) purports to rock 7.1 audio right on the device itself, and by the looks of things, it's not lying. Of course, there will be absolutely no separation of channels with this thing, and we've got to believe that there's a few wires crossed within giving off a more matrixed wall of sound in reality. The rest of the specs (if they're to be trusted) include a 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen, Bluetooth, two-megapixel camera, a microSD slot, and a transparent protective lid, and please, shut off that little voice that's urging you to ponder about where to find and purchase this hunk, alright?

OMG, Ive been waiting for a more than 2 speaker phone yto come out, yeah theres that 2.1 alcatel, but the screen sucks and its ugly, now this thing runs windows, and 8 speakers, well it says 7, but when i counted the subwoofer has 2 speakers around it, and the sub must be a big part so they couldnt have put one speaker under it, and just put two openings for the sound to come out, so I think there are 8 speakers and a sub. The sound must be amazing, now we know that it wont give a true surround sound, but maybe theyll have a 3d setting or spatial audio, itll be amazing, cant wait to find it on ebay, and I thought the iphone was going to be a music master, well windows mobile 6.0 media player, ill pick that over the awesome ipod in the iphone!
