Unless you happen to be one of the few reading MobileCrunch from China, look away. The gorgeous little piece of Android-powered fun you see up above isn’t leavin’ the People’s Republic, so don’t torture yourself by falling in love with it.

Purportedly a work-in-progress by Lenovo, this one’s carrying the name “OPhone” behind closed doors. It’ll be one of the first to be based around China’s Open Mobile System, in which they tweak Android to fit their needs and regulations and slap in a bit of TD SCDMA to support China’s 3G network. It’ll also be one of the first to be based around Lenovo’s “Hey, lets start making really friggin’ pretty handsets” system.
