The Chinese have copied something again, but this time, for a change, it’s not a cell phone design or the user interface that they have nicked. The Olympics Water Cube Phone borrows its outer shell design from the Beijing National Aquatics Center, where Michael Phelps proved yet again that he was more of a fish than human. This candybar’s design mimics the bubblewrap-like appearance of the building in up to six different colors to choose from with a 3D interface for its 2.4-inch 260k color display. Otherwise, the specs are pretty run-of-the-mill with triband GSM support, Bluetooth, TV receiver, stereo Bluetooth, media player, USB support, an unspecificed camera, and a TF slot for further expansion to 1GB. If this has you all excited, head over to SourcingGate to snag one for $175.
