Lenovo announces surprise "LePhone" is to send a few shockwaves through the Smartphone world in constant evolution, and the possibility of the device in the hands I think it looks a lot more to do with its distance from the last Google has a link .For starters, it's beautiful. Sure, it is the first smartphone, I saw that the iPhone makes it look a little plain, with its depth 12 mm and a glossy finish ahead of Apple.
Even if he knew a few too many notes defendants iPhone - either in the form of equipment, clean lines and a familiar icon-based lists of applications, while away from home screen - Lenovo has added a host of new features that are much more that the iPhone a poor man.
The key to these differences is the nine-pin on the left side of the device (do not worry, you do not see every day: click on a plastic lid). This allows this person must add peripherals, Lenovo already has a dock with extra battery, keyboard and speakers.
A keyboard can be seen (but not for the test) are available, but not his genius to figure out how to improve their payment slip in a shell "in hand" is more than a touch of the Psion Series 3: Convert

This might be a bit 'short, but it looks impressive in action.
The sample was like an early release to hear, with a few clicks between screens. And I'm a bit 'worried that the size of the battery has been compromised to keep the depth is so low (although, as recalled by Lenovo, you can replace a cell phone ... unlike some others).
But at the end of my real concern is that the time you get in Europe, will refine his hand. The first version - coming "soon" I was assured - just in China. In other words, it is unlikely that we could improve on this coast before the summer to see, and it is quite possible, then we need to wait until fall or even (God forbid), the beginning of the year neighbor. With so much competition form, Lenovo, wait so long?
