Epoq EGP-PP01 KIRF projector phone now shipping

Sigh. We're still stoked about phones with built-in projectors, but we're not at all okay with the first commercially-available unit being the nasty Epoq EGP-PP01 iPhone clone -- yet we've got to hand it to China King for being the first out the gate with a handset that'll beam a 30-inch VGA image on the wall for two hours off the built-in battery. Of course, that doesn't mean we think anyone should actually drop $550 on this uninspired piece, but if you've absolutely got to show off your witty texting banter to the entire bar, this is your only option.

PS.- Please don't be that guy.

A feature like this will not be seen on a US phone before 2020.
Probably be 2012 before we get video chat

Other countries have video chat on their cell phone? Really?

Wow, we are behind the curve. I still know some people with monochrome phones.

That phone is the biggest swiss army sh*t, overblown bunch of crapgadget ever made. I bet Sprint would try and sell it as a B2B "small meeting" information device if it was CDMA and not GSM.
