The tri-flip iCEphone that made waves in the mobile world with its three-tiered fold-out design was hanging out on the Las Vegas Convention Center showfloor for all to see. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to hit up the iCEphone in our brief time at CES 2009 Las Vegas, but the good folks over at Ubergizmo were able to get their hands on the “in case of emergency” handset (“ICEphone,” get it?).

The iCEphone folds-out three times to unveil a touchscreen (paired to Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional), QWERTY keyboard, and navigational controls. When closed, the iCEphone takes on a sleek and unassuming profile, according to Ubergizmo. We still aren’t told what the iCEphone will cost or when, exactly, it will be made available.

iCEphone specs:

  • GSM Quadband 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE
  • 7.2 Mbps HSDPA UMTS 2100 connectivity
  • Freescale iMX31 532 Mhz CPU
  • 3-inch 240×400 px 65K color transflective TFT touchscreen
  • Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro OS
  • 3.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash
  • Built-in GPS
  • Wi-Fi b/g
