Olympics Water Cube-themed cellphone hits China

The Olympics may be over, but it looks like the tie-in products (official and otherwise) are still going strong in China, where this Water Cube-themed cellphone recently made its debut. Of course, apart from that eye-catching design (and slightly unusual keypad), there's nothing too stand-out with this one, with it boasting tri-band GSM connectivity, a 2.4-inch LCD, dual cameras, all the usual media-playing features and, apparently, a "3D interface" of some sort. From the looks of it, the phone is only available from wholesaler Sourcing Gate at the moment but, if you've really got to have one for your Olympics collection, you can order a sample for $175.
