Anycall 5200: beyond of the beyonds

Posted May 18, 2007 at 12:52PM by Ryan A. Listed in: Cellular Phones Tags: Sony, NES, Motorola, Europe, Windows Mobile, Asia

Bloody pirates. Bloody gaming phones pirates. It is they, without a doubt, who cause cause severe headaches to companies. Although sometimes, it's hard not to marvel at their ingenuity. Do you remember the phone V191 from an anonymous Chinese manufacturer? The name's from Motorola and the look's from Sony PlayStation Portable.

Turned out, that's not the worst one. Somewhere in Asia, there's this mobile phone manufacturer called Anycall with their hybrid phone known as |Anycall 5200. We say hybrid because we honestly are seeing a lot of similarities compared to more established products. Some of which are:

A Windows Mobile-like Operating System
Sony Ericsson-looking back side
Sony PSP logo
Samsung F520 double slider
Loaded with NES games
Dual-band GSM 900 / 1800
3.0 megapixel camera
Support for up to 2GB of memory
A touchscreen interface

We're pretty sure this Anycall 5200 won't be officially making its way to the U.S. or Europe, or any other place aside from certain markets in Asia. But still, we have to give it to the company for, err, "paying homage" to established brands and companies.

» AnyCall == Samsung in Asia

Anycall is not at all unknown. it is in fact one of the largest manufacturers on the market - namely samsung. All Samsung products are sold under the Any* name in Korea. e.g. Anycall for phones and headsets, Anycar for their cars (yes they do cars too) etc.

» note!

the anonymous manufacturer i mentioned was the one for v191 and not anycall 5200.

anycall is not samsung. it started under samsung back in 1993 though.

all anycall products are re-branded samsung ones.

so they can use samsun features, yes, but the point of the article is all the other features like the os, games, etc.

thank you.
