Who on Earth Would Buy This Phone?!

(Original Article in Traditional Chinese from http://hksincere.com/article.php?artID=1192)

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.
