Pictures of the OPhone by Lenovo have surfaced again online fuelling speculation that a release is imminent
Published on Mar 31, 2009
The Lenovo OPhone is looking likely for release soon as further information on the Chinese-made handset has now turned up on the internet.
The new pictures were found on PConline.com.cn and show the China Mobile branded device off in all its touchscreen glory.
The device was seen first at the end of last year sporting a very Apple-esque look to the UI and the new pictures reinforce that all the more. The actual OS is called OMS, which stands for Open Mobile System and is a modified version of Google's Android operating system.
We reported the full specs as we knew them back in January and predicted an April launch so it doesn't seem unlikely that these new shots are in preparation of a full blown launch in China.
We do know now that the device will feature Wi-Fi as well as TD-SCDMA connectivity and will come with a 5-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus.
There's also mobile TV on board courtesy of CMMB options and the option to increase memory capacity through the use of a microSD card.
We still don't have any official announcements of a release date for this China Mobile device but we expect it to be on the shelves (none around here though) in the next 30 days.
