Sexiest Android Phone Since T-Mobile G1 From…Lenovo?
Yes, it seems the the laptop maker has been hiding some special design skills back, as this new handset looks pretty amazing! This is an early (but working) OPhone, the product of an alliance between China Mobile and Lenovo, seemingly made purely make the rest of the planet somewhat jealous!
This phone will be one of the first ‘OPhones,’ a blanket term for the product of China Mobile creating their own mobile phone operating system, combining open source Android with China’s own 3G TD SCDMA network. ‘Why share profits with anyone, when you can just make your own phones and OS?’ seems to be China Mobile’s strategy, which was where the difficulty getting Apple’s iPhone sold in the country stemmed from.
Looks gorgeous! Those dot-matrix buttons at the base of the handset give it such a minimalist/futuristic theme!
Obviously, the bespoke operating system means that it is unlikely to see a release outside of China…boo!
