Lost in translation – part 7

This time, not I am lost in translation, but the Chinese people. 
Christoph took this picture already several weeks ago, but I thought it might fit very well into my lost in translation series.
Lost in translation – part 4
Published May 19, 2007 China Leave a CommentTags: Lost-In-Translation, mobile, windows
On my first day in Shanghai, I bought a Chinese SIM card. Since then, I have been receiving 47 text messages containing Chinese characters, which my mobile could not display (I only got some strange squares). Yesterday, I finally found some 3rd party application, which enables the mobile to display Chinese characters. However, I still cannot read what those advertisment text messages want to tell me, but at least it looks nice now. 
Ok, this “episode” of lost in translation is a competition:
The first who can tell me what this device is for and what the voice says, gets 5 original DVDs from a Chinese shop!
BTW…I found this “device” plugged in a socket behind the television.
If anyone can tell me, what the exact conditions of my Chinese SIM card are…please drop me a line.
Sometimes I would love to be able to really speak and read Chinese…
