Mio's Lovebird becomes G50 while LEAP K1 shows both sides of itself


Mio's got quite the interesting duo set up at Computex: the Windows Mobile 6.1-packin' G50 and the two-faced LEAP K1. As for the former, you may know it better as the Lovebird, but it seems a more corporately accepted monicker was chosen at the last minute for the quad-band GSM handset. As for the latter, this mysterious creature actually has two faces to fondle -- one of which packs a traditional numeric keypad, while the other features an expansive panel perfect for serving up routes. Check the links below for more details on both.

Split personalities: the WND Wind DUO 2000


Wouldn't it be great if you could, like, glue two handsets together? One could be for, say, personal use while the other is strictly business. Two phones, two SIMs, but you just have to carry around one bulky mass. Strike that idea, Lebanon's WND Telecom beat us to the punch. Unlike devices like the Samsung Ultra Music F300 that offer different functionality on each of their sides, WND's Wind DUO 2000 is literally two thin GSM candybars placed back-to-back -- identical in every way, save for their colors. The spec sheet is nothing to get too excited about (GPRS data is all you get, for example) so the draw here seems to simply be that you can get an ear-splitting ring in your ear emanating from phone number 2 while you're talking on phone number 1. At 17.9mm, it's admittedly pretty thin for what it is, but the triband radio's a dream killer.
