Photos: Going from fridges to upscale phones

One of the more interesting things at the Haier booth: This phone, soon to be released in China, contains two SIM cards and two standby modes. You can hold two conversations at once. In China, a lot of people have two cell phones, so this cuts down on the hardware you need to carry around. Also, you and a friend can synchronize your settings so you speak on the same network and get free calls. The operating system comes from Microsoft.
