We've already seen enough of iPhone look alike smartphones. This is just the start, we are yet to see many more hitting the market in days to come.
Some less heard makers are bold enough to copy everything off the iPhone. Some big players however, try their best to make their products look (un) Apple as much as they can, but the lines and cuts are always too clear and fresh.
Verizon's president Denny Strigl has to say this on how the iPhone has changed the smartphone market; "When you think about what Apple has done in bringing the iPhone into the Read More...
You've seen Meizu 8, iPhome 3G, Optima’s OP5-E MID, the fake nano iPhone and many of the likes that steals something from the iPhone, whether it be just the look, icons, Apple logo etc. All these are done either to deceive you or lure you to purchase the cheap clones of the iPhone. Fake iPhones are getting more polished lately.
KIRFy F9 from Iorgane would sure take you for a ride if you have never owned an iPhone before and are looking for one in mobile shops other than Apple Stores. The features of these phone are impressive too, you'd probably grab one Read More...
If you think the name "iPhome 3G" is a typo, the direct response is a big "NO!"
iPhome 3G is the latest iClone that beats all earlier iPhone clones such as the HiPhone, SciPhone, Meizu 8, etc. From the physical looks to the minute appearance of the icons, iPhome 3G is a perfect clone; all the way from China just for $179.
However, we shouldn't go either by the name or the description of the phone. iPhome 3G does not support either 3G or WiFi. The claim that it sports 8GB of storage cuts down to a mere 4GB.

To clone is the way of smartphones makers. We reported about the cloning of the iPhone in China with a fancy name as Meizu. oPhone from Lenovo though is not a clone of the iPhone, something looks so familiar between the two and surprisingly the oPhone is rumored to be only for Chinese customers.
This time around, we found out that the iPhone is not the only juicy target of mobile cloners in China. Hong Kong based Nokla has successfully copied Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic. They have not spared even the slightest curve and tweaks of the original. Oh yeah, that Nokla Read More...
The images, I thought could be that of some iPhone clones. Wrong guess, a Chinese blog claims that the images are Lenovo's Android oPhone OS. What a clone!
Look at the rounded square application icons? Don't you think it is so iPhone-ish.
Jump to the keypad page in the phone interface, don't tell me this is the final design of the OS. It is likely that smartphone manufacturers consider making something that looks like the iPhone as the yardstick of popularity and success.
However, this may not be the right strategy to woo iPhone haters with something that strikingly looks like the iPhone.
And yes, even the Read More...
