A 2-in-1 Cellphone... BEAT THIS!

(Translated from http://hk.phonedaily.com/news/?news_id=5116)

What can I say from having my first gilmpse on the mega-phone that looks like it was teleported from the 1990s. In fact, it should be featured in the next Transformers movie!
This, I have to say, is the ideal phone for those in Mainland China who just got rich (legally or illegally -- the latter case is more likely) who thinks putting the logos of T-Mobile, 3 Mobile and Nokia's Vertu in the front will reveal your status (as an uneducated and uncivilized fool with no taste, yet with loads of cash burning in your pocket). It gives you enough size and bling to be envied in the hoods and ghettos across the US of A!What? It is a flip-phone (a MOTO RAZR wannabe), with two sets of keys? (one inside and one outside) Why?

It is because this 3cm-thick piece of brick has TWO PHONES COMBINED INTO ONE! I believe this is the first such phone EVER in the world!You might ask: How?

The phone on the outside is a normal 2nd gen GSM phone (if you use Rogers/Fido) while the inside is a 3rd generation video phone (note the camera rotates so you can either take a picture or start a video conference with some of your corrupt buddies plotting how to run away to Canada and apply for refugee status). Each phone has a separate power button using the same battery as the power source.Miraculously the phone features a 2 megapixel zoom-enabled camera with MP3 ringtones and a MicroSD card slot. It has the basic functions but not at the top notch quality as expected in these fly-by-night phones.So there you go, here's your chance to have the best of all worlds, for an unspecified amount of money.

Who on Earth Would Buy This Phone?!

Many of you have heard about stories on copying of name-brand cellphones by Chinese fly-by-night factories, but I can declare the following as a Chinese local invention...

Introducing the Shenzhou VII Space Shuttle cellphone! (with Space Discovery music playing in the background...)

Don't you feel like an astronaut once you take it out of your purse and start talking? (The first words should be "Houston, I have a problem!")


Look pops! Ther's a blue light shinin' from its nose!

OOOO... There's a hint of red at the boosters... Looks like we're ready for a BLASTOFF!

Function-wise, this attention-grabber has all the standards of a normal cellphone:

• 1.3mpixel camera located on the back behind the captain's quarters.
• MP3 Ringtones with volume control on the side
  
• 1MB internal memory (apparently the makers have used a 60s version of the space shuttle as a model - fortunately it has a microSD card slot on the sides)
• USB support + battery charging
  
• Did I mention the phone's vibration abilities that comes with every cellphone nowadays? ;)
  

Overall this is a sleek-looking and bright-coloured phone as this will surely make heads turn! (if you don't mind providing entertainment to the people around you) It is either the ideal prank gift for your buddies or an excellent toy for your loved ones (kids and adults alike).

With the price tag of HKD$1380 (or around CAD$175) for this unlocked piece of beauty, you can say goodbye to those damn phones that come with 3-year plans.
