While news in China doesn’t really affect us on this side of the world, the country received its first taste of Windows Phone today, which warrants some coverage. The first Chinese Windows Phone, available today, comes in the form of the HTC Eternity. In case it sounds familiar to you, the HTC Eternity was the name for the HTC TITAN before it was released in the US (and other parts of the world). The phone features a 4.7″ (800 x 480) display, 512MB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, 16GB of internal storage, DLNA support, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and of course, the Windows Phone 7 operating system (presumably Mango or Tango/Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh) in Chinese and will be preloaded with popular Chinese apps. It looks like Microsoft is ready to take on the world’s largest population – let’s see how well it fares.
