We're not sure how we missed this one, but it's better late than never -- turns out some lucky jerks in China were given a
Lenovo LePhone to play with back in mid-April, and the guys at
Sooyuu have just finished the fifth and final part of their lengthy review, just in time for the
May launch. We weren't expecting any changes since our last encounter
at CES, but apparently the 3.7-inch screen's now been upgraded from LCD to AMOLED, and like the
Palm Pre, the LePhone also sports a gesture area below the screen. Of course, there's also the never-before-seen packaging that we totally dig, not to mention the bundled goodies such as a leather case, a noise-isolation handsfree kit (but sans music and volume control), plus a magnetic dock adapter. As for software, the reviewer praises Lenovo's snappy, heavily customized
Android with its vast Chinese social networking service integration, music store, video apps, and an impressive Chinese turn-by-turn navigation suite. We almost want to adopt this baby, only to be let down by its 3.2-megapixel camera's mediocre quality, lack of flash, and inability to autofocus. Anyhow, you can be the final judge -- head over to
Sooyuu for plenty more pictures.
