doomedphones.jpg Does Marks Enterprise know something I don't? Maybe they've got a mole in the Obama administration telling them this DTV transition thing is just hot air. At CES, Chinese company Marks was showing a huge array of analog TV phones - phones whose main selling point will go totally dead when the US turns off analog TV signals on Feb. 17 (or maybe later, it seems.

Otherwise, the Marks phone lineup has all the hallmarks of cool Chinese phones that will never be sold in the US. They've got dual SIM cards (so you can have two lines at once), for instance. But companies like Marks are never quite able to get their acts together to make coherent presentations to US carriers, so their phones never come to US shelves.
