Armed with only a countdown - at this moment 27 days and counting down - and what seems to be a version of the I-Tech Virtual Keyboard in a dock, the mysterious 01 Phone seems to have the looks to take on the Apple iPhone.

I just wish I knew more. Count down and image are located right here.

UPDATE: Apparently T3 Magazine knows a bit more about this 01 Phone.

With a 5.0-megapixel camera, 3G internet, and a whopping 32GB of storage, the 01 - as it’s believed to be called - could mean the death of the Nokia N96, the BlackBerry Bold and Samsung’s INNOV8 i850.

It looks as though the slide-out part of the handset actually conceals a laser keyboard, which projects a full qwerty onto the flat surface below. Play/pause, rewind and forward buttons suggest the 01 will be a multimedia stunner, with quality-looking in-ear headphones thrown in for good measure.

32gb of storage, 5mp camera, 3G data… and a virtual laser keyboard? Starting to sound like science fiction, an early 2009 April Fool’s joke… or it’ll be so expensive that it’ll quickly be out of range of mere mortals.

I’m still intrigued. Thanks to all that send this in.
