Gold ‘Buddha phone’, which shiny comes with a customizable animated altar.

For pretty obvious reasons, the Odin 99, also known as the “Buddha phone”, is an altar-away-from-altar for more material Buddhists. The flashy gold-colored phone features a lotus-leaf emblazoned button that, once pressed, will load the phone’s customizable, animated Buddhist altar. Where you can burn some digital incense, we’re talking a full-service shrine put down offerings or play some soothing tunes to help you meditate. Maybe it’d find a larger market than China, if they rebranded this thing as a relaxation phone, where the Odin 99 is currently available.

Also the entire package furthers those Buddhist “feel good” vibes. It includes an engraved metal charm, which would be much cooler if it was the battery, and a second battery as a gift. So for China, there’s the Odin 99. For the rest of us, there’s a slew of Buddha-approved iPhone apps.
