Keepin' it real fake, part CCXIV: IBM Touch T600 should totally run OS/2

Every once in a while, the knockoff manufacturers get creative — really creative — by dreaming up wild, crazy "what if" scenarios, and "what if IBM got into the cellphone biz?" is the thought-provoking question we're dealing this time around. The company's industrial design — much of which went to Lenovo in the sale of its PC business — is legendary, and some undoubtedly Shenzhen-based concern has done a surprisingly decent job of translating that ID to a handset. The T600 runs Windows Mobile with some customizations we haven't seen before and apparently features GPS, EDGE, and a pair of SIM slots — a surefire sign that the phone is designed and destined for the Chinese market. We're not sure why they bothered with the slightly-modified Vodafone logo, though — whoever heard of someone wanting carrier branding on an unlocked device?
