Company out of China J-COM have unveiled a 5-inch Windows Mobile phone, but the curious thing is that they are calling it an MID with phone functionality. They are calling it an MID because of the large 5-inch display, all of which is powered by a 806MHz Marvell processor, and the phone is supposed to be able to handle videos of up to 800x480 resolution swimmingly. The phone also comes with a 2400mAh battery and there is yet to be news on pricing and availability. MID or phone? I suppose that depends on what you use it for most.

The Turbo T5, pictured above, is a 5-inch MID that runs on Windows Mobile 6.5. The 5-inch resistive touchscreen boasts a standard 800x480 screen resolution, and the internals are comprised of a 667MHz Samsung processor (further details as yet unknown), 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, a GPS receiver chip as well as WiFi and Bluetooth functionality. The MID is fairly thin, at 1.25cm, and is one of the fewer MIDs coming out of China to run on the Windows Mobile OS, rather than the more popular and more accessible Google Android OS. This MID, though at an excellent portability size, won't double as a player as it does not decode videos particularly well. Pricing and availability info to come later.

You can watch a video of the dual boot in action below.
