iPhone look-alike

Liked the iPhone very much, but don't have that much to shell out from your pockets. Don't worry, you can still afford to go for its look-alike for as little as Rs.6000-7000 or so.

Yes, you guessed it right. Its made in China & is sometimes called the iPhone A380. It has a wonderful & large touchscreen, but this touchscreen is not the same as the original iPhone which has the Multi-Touch feature.

Some of the notifiable features of this Phone are:

• 3.5 inch wide LCD Screen


• 1.3 MP Camera


• MP3 / MP4 Player


• Fingerprint Recognition


• Bluetooth


• WAP/GPRS


• Dual Band

Other than these the Phone has also some interesting features. As soon as you Plug-in this Phone via USB in WinXP, the Phone prompts you to select the way you want the Phone to be used - Webcam, Mass Storage Device (Pen Drive), COM Port. Except for the COM Port feature, rest of the features are directly Plug & Play & don't prompt you to install any separate drivers.

Near the Camera lens you would find the Apple logo, & many people have fallen prey to this trick, thinking this to be an original Apple product. Remember this is a look-alike & comes loaded with Symbian OS & not Apple's proprietary MAC OS X. The Phone has to surround sound Speakers which really gives realistic sound output.

When my friend first brought this Phone & was ready to sell-off for Rs.9000, even I was surprised. It took me an entire day to research this product on the Net & find out the truth. Whatever might be the case, this Phone is worth going for & to be flanked in public places with the Apple logo flashing behind.
