7 Weirdest Android Devices of 2011

7 Weirdest Android Devices of 2011

TAG Hauer LINKTAG Hauer is a premier watch company famous for making some very tough sports analog watches. So why did they started making Android phones? MSRP is. $4700 USD.

For that hefty price tag, you can choose from 3 different kinds of metal covers (titanium, rose gold, or steel), 3 types of cover (alligator, calfskin, or lizard). and an outdated Android phone with merely 256MB of RAM, (probably sub 1GHz CPU) and 5 MP back camera. (In other words, it's like the ORIGINAL Motorola Droid, albeit guzzied up).

Porsche Design P 9530The P 9530 is a design prototype by Andre Silva, NOT a real phone. However, Porsche Design have marketed two phones before, and there's little reason they can't build this one.

This one features aluminum uni body (single piece) and VERY sleek yet industrial tough design. The prototype spec says 3D camera, but I doubt if they build it it'll actually have that. Still, a very interesting design, if a bit on the plain side. Fujitsu is making one as well, but this is a really weird part. It feature two separate screens, but BOTH can be rotated to either portrait or landscape modes. When both are portrait, it resembles a flip phone. When both are landscape, it resembles a small tablet (albeit there's a huge gap where the hinge is). it is the hybrid modes (when one or the other screen is landscape but the other is portrait) that really makes the device. WEIRD.

It is hard to describe, so go to UnWiredView and check out the pix they got.

HTC Status: the Facebook PhoneDo you need a phone dedicated to Facebook updates? Apparently, some people do need such a device. Thus, the HTC Status. Formerly known as the Chacha, and rumored to be developed by Facebook itself (later denied), the phone has a Blackberry / Palm Treo form factor with full keyboard, and a very prominent Facebook button.

Yes, it is an Android phone, running Android 2.3.

Not so good parts: it has a TINY screen, and a relatively slow CPU.

If you need to do mostly Facebook and only occasionally other Android apps, this may not be a bad idea. However, keep in mind it is exclusive to AT in the US thus far.

Lenovo LePhoneLenovo is best known as the Chinese company that bought out IBM's PC and laptop business, though it is a huge electronics maker in its own right. When it decided it wants to join in the Android phone market back in 2010, the phone was VERY interesting. at least visually. A sleek rounded exterior and some VERY customized Android interface. plus this "keyboard" with a VERY weird circular design, that is also a carrying case (with battery) that turns phone into a palmtop.

The specs are no slouch even a year after its release: 3.7 inch 800x480 screen, 1 GHz CPU, 3 MP back camera and VGA front camera.

Unfortunately, it seems that the phone's too Chinese to be exported to US market. You can find it on eBay, but no carrier in the US sells it.
