OKWAP A267

Being incredibly pink, it's safe to assume the phone is aimed at girls who love all things Hello Kitty. The clamshell has 128 x 128 px internal and 96 x 48 px external screens, both capable of displaying 65K colors. The external screen shows common information such as battery and signal level, and time and date in digital or animated analogue formats.

The phone also has a built-in 0.3 megapixel camera able to snap photos at up to 640 x 480 px, 64 chord polyphonic ringtones, a flashlight, MMS, Class 10 GPRS, along with Hello Kitty pictures, wallpapers, and animation.

OKWAP i516

The i516 is similar to the A267, but slightly upgraded. Being pink as well, the i516 contains a 1 megapixel camera with flash and 4X zoom that can capture both pictures and videos. And at 42 x 84 x 19 mm and weighing just 85 g, it's a tiny phone. Additionally, it features internal 128 x 160 px 262K color and external 96 x 64 px 4K color screens, perfect for showing those Hello Kitty pictures and animations. Opened, the screen even swivels 180 degrees allowing users to flip the phone closed with the internal screen facing up. Games, FM radio, stereo handfree kit, and other fun features are included as well.

Both models contain Hello Kitty accessories including a Kitty Phone Pouch (Hot pink as well), hand strap, second battery, handsfree kit, and key ring mascot.

Although they're sold in Asia, those who must have it (and can read Chinese to order it) can use it on GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 networks in the U.S., UK, and Europe. The A267 sells for around $400 USD, while the i516 is around $450 USD.

For the CDMA loyalists who ask what benefit GSM has aside from outdated technology, I think it was just answered.
