It has Android, looks like the BlackBerry Storm, but sports some super lame specs and costs $179… it’s The Robot by Chinavision. If you’re three times as gullible as the next guy you can by 3 of them for only $170/each.
Chris Ziegler from Engadget was able to find the one redeeming quality of the phone, besides its use of Android:
you have to admit that it’s got the bossest, most unapologetic silver Android logo you’ve ever seen right below the subpar display
Hellz yeah. Also noted should be the company’s repeated use of the word “superphone”, probably a lame attempt to trick you into thinking its of the “Nexus One” breed for which Andy Rubin and Google coined the term in the first place. Yeah, no.
Either you can take my word that the specs are sub par or you can read the press release:
Welcome to 2010, a new year and a brand new phone. The Robot Android OS cell phone is here. With plenty of great apps, Wifi, and being fully unlocked, this is THE mobile phone for people who enjoy taking control of their communication experience.

Better still, you have instant access to all of your favorite Google applications like Gmail, Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Talk.
Much like a mini netbook computer, the Robot Superphone lets you do so much more than a regular cell phone. Already pre-loaded with over 20 apps, you can instant message, send email, check the weather, read your favorite RSS feeds, and do so much more with a single cellphone.
With all those pre-loaded applications on the Robot Superphone you can already communicate with friends, family and colleagues in every way possible, but that is not all!
