As we hinted last month, Pepsi has unveiled its first smartphone, Pepsi Phone P1, which will initially be launched in China. Although the phone comes with Pepsi branding, it is in fact manufactured by Shenzhen-based, Scooby Communication Equipment Co, and is sold via a crowdfunding campaign; Pepsi says it has no plans to get into the mobile phone manufacturing business. The Pepsi phone is currently listed on crowdfunding website JD Finance, China's answer to Android ROM. "If the phone successfully hits its funding goal of $469,950 by December 3, it will officially launch at around $200, with a special FDD-LTE variant headed to China Unicom as the P1s", says the Daily Mail.
