What's most intriguing about this to me is the pics of the device (http://www.eprice.com.hk/mobile/news/?news_id=6051) don't seem to show a hardware keyboard.

Has android picked up a touch-screen keyboard already, or are they maybe just assuming that it will be available by the release date? (or do phones for the Chinese market use a different input mechanism anyway, perhaps).

No, we don't use alien mechanism, just plain keyboard.

I thought as much, thanks. I wonder what they have planned then..
