Zen Mobile will make Buddha roll in his Parinirvana

Here we have it: the most ostentatious religious-themed cellphone in China!

Looking more like an ironically overdecorated Buddhist charm than an actual clamshell, the Zen Mobile comes encrusted in a 24K gold-plated ring set with emerald jade stones that have been inscribed with auspicious numbers.

Engadget didn't have much information about when this phone is coming out, what specs are hiding inside its luxuriously heavy top cover, or what the UI is like, but we bet this hunk of technology comes with a heap of karma - whether it will be good or bad karma we aren't quite sure.
