Hyundai MB 490i Dolphin Adopts Yamaha Speaker


Hyundai is the brand name of a car, a tractor, a ship (!). But wait, it now enters the already-crowded cellphone industry. And Hyundai's debut does not impress me, and you either. It features a Hyundai MB 490i, which looks like a dolphin. So what, if Nokia launches a cellphone that looks like a frog, will you buy it? I surely doubt.

Well, this guy looks desperate to make a dent in the market. However, there are some features worth mentioned. 240 x 400 touchscreen, plus Yamaha speaker, are not bad ideas. But the lack of keypad and only radio-knob-like control in the upfront, well that's quite unwelcome, I guess.

The back side of the phone in uninspiring at best.

So, what is that eye of the dolphin in the phone? I wonder how it functions, and whether it brings some value. Perhaps it is a dedicated web browser button or camera button, or media button.

I think this phone will sales will languish before it even spells its first ads. Yet, it's another nice attempt to add cellphone to our wonderful civilization.
