Chinavision Dual band smartphone looks strangely familiar...

Comes with a projector thrown in too

We can't help but feel like we've seen this dual band smartphone from Chinavision before. Actually, we have - in several places.

It looks like a mixture between a Nokia handset, the iPhone interface, and just for the heck of it - a projector has been thrown in as well.

The 2.4-inch screen is touchscreen, and among the multimedia features included on the phone are MP3 and MP4 player, 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder. There's also an internal microSD card slot that comes with a 1GB card.

The projector can apparently be used from a distance of up to 5 feet and will project an image of around 32 x 40 inches - check out the gallery for what Chinavision say is an "actual use photo". A bit of a gimmick all in all we reckon.

Currently on the Chinavision website as being "available soon", we wonder if this will actually make it outside of China.
