Rounded square icons against a black background? It's like they're not even trying to differentiate themselves. Also iPhone like - you slide your finger across the screen to move to the next page of apps.

As a play on their name, the pointer icon is in the shape of an "o." Cute, though it looks like there might be some freezing problems in the initial OS build - check out that shadow in the bottom left corner.

There's an included tab for a customizable list that will give you quick access to your favorite programs. It kind of looks like the iPhone's iTunes page to me.

And this is what it looks like when you bring up the call screen. The numerals are nice, big and bold.

Quite honestly, I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to be the oPhone's final OS design. I was looking forward to getting something that had iPhone-like capabilities, but better—not something that's just more of the same (with a few added specs tacked on). If I wanted an iPhone copycat, I'd just buy a Meizu. [I love oPhone]

The OPhone is roughly 1mm bigger than the original iPhone in all dimensions, measuring in at 115.84x61.57x12.03mm. Besides the volume rocker, the OPhone also has its microSD slot on the left side. According to the China bloggers, it'll support microSD cards of up to 16GB.

The phone from the other side. This is supposed to be a dedicated camera button, which I guess makes the OPhone more comfortable to take landscape photos with.

Here's the butt of all three phones. As you can see, the OPhone's placed its headphone jack on its bottom. Also residing down there is the microUSB slot for charging and PC synchronizing. I wonder if that placement choice will render it incompatible with certain speaker docking systems.

On the backside is a removable battery, as well as a flash for the 5MP camera— two things it has on the iPhone. Assuming everything works like it's supposed to, this will be a serious contender to the iPhone and other smartphones. Guess we'll see Q1 next year. Merry Christmas from here in Asia! [Sina Blog]

We knew Lenovo was planning on bringing out one of the first Chinese Android pieces, we just didn't know it would look this nice; we've only this one shot to go on, but already I'm loving those polka dot send/end/clear buttons. And another thing worth noting is that from this single shot, it doesn't look like the OPhone includes a hardware QWERTY, meaning aside from chinese character stylus entry, the China Mobile folks may have taken some steps forward in developing a software touch keyboard for Android.

Unfortunately, importing this thing will be an impossibility, since it runs on China's own proprietary TD-SCDMA 3G network and will likely feature a customized version of Android that incorporates China Mobile's own homegrown apps and services. Still, it's a good carrot to dangle in front of HTC's nose. [ModMyGphone]
