Awww, how adorable! From another random shanzhai technology company comes this actually well thought out Winnie the Pooh-themed cellphone.
Shaped like Pooh bear's head, this clamshell flips open to reveal a 2-inch screen, a Winnie-imprinted four-way joystick, little paw print details for the call and hang up buttons, and the "Walt Disne" logo. No, we didn't misspell it.
It reminds us a lot of that knock-off Barbie phone we saw a while back, only we don't think this was based off of an original authentic product. From what we can tell, some guy was enough of a fan of Pooh to design a tribute to him all on their own.
Unfortunately, details about the phone's actual specs were lacking, but Shanzhaiji says you can get your hands on one of these babies for about 700RMB on the streets of Shenzhen.

IMO, children young enough to be seen with a phone like this are too young own one They should be carrying around a cute abacus instead. Don't get me wrong, this comment applies to children around the world and is not intended to be racist.
