E9 2-in-1 China Mobile Folder Phone is a Rubbery Nokia Communicator Alternative

Among our advertisers, Totobay is the most tireless supplier of interesting phones from China. One of their lates announcements is bound to amaze and amuse at the same time. The E9 “2-in-1 Folder Phone” (my own nickname for it) would definitely appeal to business users looking for a cheaper E90 Communicator originally made by Nokia. China Mobile’s E9 boasts an external 2.2-inch screen and an internal 2.8-inch screen. Both screens are touch-sensitive. The QWERTY keyboard is inside, but when you open up the phone it’s not the “rubberized” keyboard you notice notice but the internal screen which looks just like the iPhone.

This is what the GUI looks like:

The E9 is a dual-band GSM phone with GPRS and WAP. It’s a “fluent” MP3 and MP4 players, has built-in FM, an e-Book, stopwatch, supports SMS with SMS firewall for sensitive corporate text messaging. It goes for $175, but discounts may be available if you buy more than 1. Specifications and additional photo after the break.
