MDO Avatar G580: the Cheap Chinese Android Hero

Since it is a slow news day, I thought that I would highlight an inexpensive (equivalent of $278 USD) Chinese Android smartphone that, not coincidentally, resembles the HTC Hero but is thinner at 10.7 mm has a newer 600MHz Qualcomm 7227 processor.

Contact MDO if you want a G580. This is a better value than the Hero, if warranty work is never needed. The exact version of Android is not advertised.
