Features on the cheap: TIANYU's A699

Never heard of TIANYU? That makes two of us, but that doesn't mean we can't love the Chinese manufacturer's new touchscreen-enabled candybar just the same. The 220 x 176 display is subpar, the 1.3 megapixel cam perfectly average, and the 64MB of internal memory with microSD expansion merely ho-hum, but the integrated FM radio, A2DP, and touchscreen with Chinese character recognition are pretty nifty. And let's be honest: at $1280 HKD (about $165 USD) for the 13.5 millimeter candybar on the street, it's probably hard to go wrong.
