You might have previously heard that China Mobile and Lenovo are working together on a phone, called "OPhone". The base of the new phone is the Chinese OMS (Open Mobile System), which packs Google's Android operating system and the Chinese TD-SCDMA 3G solution, thus an open and free platform has been created by the world's largest network operator. As it is known China Mobile and Apple have previously been trying to agree on distributing the iPhone, but the revenue sharing model was not accepted. OMS is in fact a response from the network, bringing a multimedia platform which is a free alternative and can be the base for feature-filled multimedia devices or a proprietary mobile phone can be created too. The OPhone design concept, pictured below, is the creation of China Mobile and Lenovo, and although it is currently nothing but an empty case, it is still much more attractive than HTC's T-Mobile G1 on any spiced up press photo.
