Wow!!! This is something I am looking forward to!!
BTW, Engadget, don't keep it on the rocks :)
Oh Em Gee! I think the handset market is truly heating up. So much to choose from.
I find it a little difficult to believe that it would be a huge task for them to translate Android into Chinese. What are the parts that are giving them trouble I wonder? It was my understanding that Google was set to release a Simplified Chinese version on its own.
maybe it's their special 3G network compatibility that caused the problem...
anyway im glad theres no underage gymnast joke.....yet
If you've ever experienced IME on mobile devices you'd realize they're far from polished, even on established operating systems. There are also tons of other areas where internationalization is a problem especially when dealing with non-ascii charactersets. Folder names is one example. Many apps have directory names hard coded in English but this makes it difficult for users who can't read English.

When I read through the article the first time I got the impression that these "unsuspecting" subscribers were actually being targeted by China Mobile and having their curent phones jacked from their hands and replaced by this thing that washed up on the beach.
holy shhh! another possible iphonekiller., so far 2 contenders in 2 days palm n now this.,yikes.,will they earn the coveted title of iphonekillers.,????
Add Nokia's 5800 and the BlackBerry Bold (next iteration, possibly) to the mix as well. These phones and the Lenovo are giving people some needed options. I'm tired of seeing that crappy iPhone everywhere I look. This is coming from a long-time Apple user as well. There's just nothing that great about it, except the scrolling graphics and precision in doing so. However, this doesn't make the iPhone more usable, so who cares?
Let me show her my O face...
Where the fuck is Paul Chapel and his iPhone sermon? Get your head out of your ass Paul, Engadget is talking about something non-Apple! Sick em boy!
Looks like a Cowon S9. Alot.
Seriously . . . the O phone. Did they pay somone to come up with that. . . .I want that job.
It is not a iPhone and neither a GPhone but it is "OOoPhone" = ="
will the OPhone be the start of the new naming theory of Lenovo??
oPhone, oMac, oPod... etc all by lenOvo... tudo de novo~
ADAMOOOO!!!
^_^
sorry, just wakeup... need to scream it!
Does it come with rocks, or do you have to buy those separately?
I have high hopes this phone will be great, but we haven't seen anything yet guys!! Not one single movie or even image of its interface. Just a phone on the rocks. The standards are set quite high at this point I must say.
I hope that they don't come with an analog clock on a background as the main home window.
Why is everyone so excited about this? I don't see anywhere that it is going to be released to markets outside of China...I certainly haven't seen plans for a GSM version.
I'm a G1 user so I'm sold on Android...I would love to see this come to he US, but to be an "iPhone Killer" wouldn't it have to be a "World Phone"?
Those rocks looks like they could probably scratch that shininess.
