Bad news for those in the US who fell in love with the Le Phone at this year’s CES. Looks like Lenovo’s super-slick smartphone won’t be arriving on our shores any time in the near future.
In the same meeting with the company’s COO Rory Read, which yielded the information about the company’s upcoming Honeycomb-based Android tablet, Lenovo revealed that that, while the Le Phone may, in fact, hit the US market, it may still be another two years before we see the thing.
It seems that Lenovo wants to focus on its market share in China before it commits to selling the thing overseas.
Of course, it is still possible to get the phone in the US–but it will cost you. An importer called Chinavasion is selling an unlocked version of the Android handset for $501.69–that’s apparently down from $556.87, if that helps sweeten the deal at all.
