2008 Olympics’ Water Cube-themed mobile phone is what it is

Can’t get enough of the 2008 Olympics’ Water Cube? No worries, the land of media censorship and propaganda has turned out yet another low-end handset designed to evoke images of the Beijing National Aquatics Center, otherwise known a the Water Cube.
The handset bears an exterior design reminiscent of the Water Cube’s glowing bubble-wrap-like architecture. It sports Bluetooth and a tri-band GSM radio that lacks the 850Mhz band that us Yankees love so much. The Water Cube Phone also uses some sort of “3D interface” that is sure to not live up to its name.
But, if Water Cube-themed handsets with lackluster feature-sets and questionable build-quality are your cup of tea, then you’ll be happy to hear that the Water Cube Phone is available in your choice of six different colors for $175. We’ll save our coin for something with some actual substance, thanks.

“The land of censorship and propaganda.”
Nice. Although I find it ironic that China’s censorship has nothing to do with the subject matter of the article. Between that unneeded comment and your relentless (and mind you, unsupported) bashing of the phone and the country that made it, and your speculation that the interface is “sure not to live up to its name,” it is abundantly clear that you wrote this piece with the intention (if not the *sole* intention) to elicit dislike for China. I’m pretty sure that qualifies as… *propaganda.*
So get off of your high horse, and try to make sure you know what you’re talking about before you start typing. Mmmkay, pumpkin? Good boy.
