NBA phone coming -- to China

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 29th 2007 at 4:08AM

Sure, they've got a superstar in the NBA with the potential for more on the way, but we still think it's a little strange that an NBA-branded phone is hitting China without coming to the States, too. We suppose it could be that American sports are still a little gunshy about anything and everything mobile in the wake of ESPN Mobile's collapse -- or, maybe the maker of this handset didn't pay a dime in licensing fees to the NBA (we're just sayin'). Anyhoo, the sporty candybar features 64MB of internal Flash with microSD expansion, QVGA display, and a big stylin' basketball on the back. Don't bother trying to import it, you'll be sorely disappointed by the lack of bands usable here.
