I have to admit, Hyundai’s venture into the mobile phone industry (we’ve covered Hyundai PMPs, and also here) is making a big splash. Their medium-range phones look like calculators and Chinese iPods with antennae. The Hyundai Dolphin (relax, there’s a good reason why they gave it this name, just read on) is unique in its own way without being too ridiculous. The metal casing is polished into a mirror finished. It looks fun and disposable without being too toy-like. Am I making any sense. Anyway, the feature includes Yamaha speakers and a 3.2 MP camera. No pricing yet.
Rear shot after the break. Know why it’s called the Dolphin, also after the break.
Update: The Hyundai Dolphin (I really wish Hyundai would market this phone feverishly) will be available May this year for 250 euros, which is really reasonable for a touchscreen phone, hopefully 3G, though it looks WiFi-less.

[...] You know, when we first read the image-less text describing Hyundai’s dolphin-shaped cellphone, our instinctual, caffeine-injected reflex was to launch into an angst-ridden assault on the MB-490i. Then we saw the pictures and, well, dammit, we kind of like it. Somehow Hyundai managed to make the aquatic scroll-wheel on the front mirrored by cascading waves of aluminum along the backside work. Even the pale blue eyeball on the side comes across as tasteful without kitsch. Spec-wise, we’re looking at a 240 x 400 touchscreen display augmented by a swipeable touchscreen surface below, a 2.0 megapixel camera (no flash), Yamaha speaker, Bluetooth, and a €250 price tag when it launches in May. Check the pictures after the break and sound-off in the comments with your opinion. [Via PMP Today] [...]
