When it comes to bar-shaped smartphones, it takes a good amount of effort to design something visually appealing. There’s really only so much you can do with a flat slab – and whatever can be done likely already has.<\/p>\n

With that said, there’s just something<\/em> about this handset, the Qisda QCM-330. I’m not sure what that “something” is, but I like it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The QCM-330 has emerged as one of the winners of an iF mobile design contest<\/a>, though the awards won’t be passed out officially until CeBit in March. Congratulations and all that to the design team for snatchin’ up a trophy, but we’re far more interested in the handset itself.<\/p>\n

Check out the beast of a display on the front; not only does it measure in at a massive 4 inches, but they’ve also purportedly managed to crank the resolution on that thing all the way up to 1280×1024 (though, with a widescreen like that, it’s more likely to be running at 1280×720). That’s a considerably higher resolution than we’ve ever seen on a smartphone, as far as I know. The recognizable home key on the bottom right gives us high hopes that this thing is rocking Android, though they’ve yet to confirm as much. <\/p>\n

What has been confirmed, however, is the WiFi, HSDPA, 3 megapixel camera, and accelerometer packed inside. The only thing we don’t<\/em> like about this handset? There’s no indication thus far that it’ll be heading stateside.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Russian reader, the guys over at MobileReview<\/a> have the scoop on a handful of other (considerably less exciting) design contest – but if you’re English-only, Unwired View<\/a> has a pretty exhaustive write-up in your tongue.<\/p>\n
