General Mobile was among the first companies to announce an Android handset, when the OS became popular and now the DSTL 1 model gets a follow-up dubbed Touch Stone. The handset was showcased at MWC 2010 and we learn that it comes with a 4.3 inch capacitive WVGA display and a 5 megapixel camera.

The device also incorporates an analog TV tuner, it runs Android 2.0 and relies on an ARM9-based PXA935 core. General Mobile claim that the phone will be available for purchase towards the year end, but there will be tons of Android devices available by then, so it will be a tough choice.

Cosmos is more appealing than its predecessor, thanks to its neat industrial design and touches like the etching on the battery cover.

General Mobile captured everyone’s attention at MWC thanks to the hot DSTL1 device running Android and packing dual SIM slots, but there’s more to this company than meets the eye.

Enter the DST 250, the handset you can check out the in poster below and known as “the smallest slider and double SIM mobile phone of the world”.

The whole “Mini and Sweat in My Hands” motto didn’t quite go through, or we didn’t catch the idea behind this phrase, but anyhow the device is promising. General Mobile also showed the public some Nokia Supernova knockoffs, an 8800 clone and a couple of other sliders that belong on the low end market.
