14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese phone manufacturers are mainly known for how well they can clone a mobile phone's design or maybe change it a little and then release a device of their own, looking more or less like the product they copied.
They are responsible for quite a few look-a-likes such as the Nokir E828 or the Suny Ericssom P999. In this case, we get to see one of the few truly unique Chinese-manufactured mobile phones, that believe it or not, also works as a 'cigarette box'.
Dubbed Cigarette King 3838, the mobile phone looks like a smoke pack and is distributed along with a free lighter and pack of actual cigarettes. There's also a special slot on the back of the handset that will allow the storage of 7 cigarettes, for the smoker that wants to be sure to have some cigarettes left when out of supplies.
Just like your average cigarette pack, the Cigarette King 3838 also comes with printing on the side, reminding its owner that smoking is bad for one's health. While not really useful, it's an interesting product that might appeal to all the smokers out there because of its looks.
There's not a lot of information regarding its features (and most users won't really care about them), but it does sport a VGA camera with video recording capabilities on the side, MMS and WAP support and a 1.5 inch color screen. Reportedly, it will also work as an MP3 player and features a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion, so aside for storage of cigarettes, it can also be used for music storage. The phone is an Asia-only device although there's no info on where one will be able to find it.
