GPlus GP800 mobile phone
This is the GPlus GP800 mobile phone, which looks, it has to be said, stunning. Featuring a completely mirror-like screen when switched off, the GP800 lights into life when a call comes in or the user touches any of the buttons.

Other companies have made mobile phones with a mirror-like exterior surface before, but none have made their phone's screen look so completely invisible. The mirror-like surface is so perfect, you'd be forgiven for thinking the phone does nothing more than make and receive calls - how could it do any more, there's no screen!

But not a bit of it - the GP800 is actually a well-featured phone, and its looks certainly make it stand out from any other designer phone/

More details and pictures of the GPlus GP800 after the jump.

The GPlus GP800 comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, FM Radio, Bluetooth featuring A2DP for music streaming to compatible devices, and is expandable via a microSD memory card.

It's the screen that really captures the attention though. It's a 2.2" QVGA screen when switched on, and completely invisible when switched off.

Unfortunately, the user interface is a little, well, garish, and compared to the iPhone (which has surely set the benchmark for mobile phone interfaces for years to come), it looks like it belongs in the 20th Century.

So the GP800 follows in the tradition of all mobile phones that were released prior to the iPhone - a focus on the features and the external design of the phone, with little thought given to the user experience. I have a feeling this will change substantially this time next year.

Oh, and if you want a GPlus GP800, you'll be out of luck - it's set for the Asian market only, I'm afraid.
