As if to make up for all those trademark shirking, innovation lacking knock-off factories in China, we find this Chinese GPS phone that doesn’t even have a name. This thing doesn’t purport to be any sort of name-brand phone – it’s just a run-of-the-mill Chinese phone, but with GPS. Oh, and it only costs about $130USD! At that kind of price point, we’d can’t imagine why any and all Chinese citizens wouldn’t be trekking around the countryside with their GPS phone in hand (okay $130 is a lot of money, we’re just making a point).
The mystery GPS phone comes packed with Chinese obligatories like the gaudy speakers on the backside, the silk-screened touchscreen, and dual-SIM capability. It’s just too bad that this GPS phone is custom tailored to China’s GPS system – which means we’ll never see functional GPS on this thing Stateside (or any side outside of China, for that matter).
