LH01 Mini IPhone Clone – Introducing The Smallest Shake And Tilt Mobile Phone

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:54:27 +0000

Admittedly, the shake and tilt iPhone clone market is flooded right now. With the HiPhone i32, the CECT A380, the A88 and the A8+ being very brisk sellers, you might think that there is no room for another shaking clone.

Apparently the Chinese manufacturers do not agree. That’s probably because their sales data indicates that there’s room for one more, especially a smaller model.

Though first viewed as a questionable but intriguing bonus feature, shake and tilt is now sought after and extremely popular. Consumers love not having to fumble around or scroll to change the media. It’s very convenient and quick to only have to shake the phone when you want to advance songs, wallpaper, or video. You also only have to tilt the phone when you want to go to wide screen mode.

The LH01 is the latest addition to this line of shake to the music phones, but it is different in a few ways. The most notable difference is that it is smaller, which is why people sometimes call it the “mini HiPhone.” It only measures 5.3 X 11.3 X 1.3 mm. It weighs in at only 107 grams.

This one also has the latest edition of Java (2.0) which many people feel is a huge advantage because this allows you all sorts of third party software and gaming applications, like Word, PowerPoint and Excel in terms of productivity, but there are countless others.

This little guy also has an FM radio and an upgraded camera (a 2.0 mega pixel version as opposed to the 1.3 model that many clones have.)

This knock off has all of the standard features of the other shake and tilts, including: dual sim (you can switch back and forth between them); full MP3 and MP4 players; Java 2.0; web browsing via GPRS and WAP; email and text messaging (via SMS, MMS, EMS, SMS group send, and long text SMS); handwriting recognition; an FM radio; and a web cam.

Admittedly, not everyone is going to embrace the smaller size. Some people are sticklers for the largest screen possible, but I believe there are many folks who like the idea of a small model that easily fits in pocket.

I would compare this one most to the HiPhone, as it is very similar in appearance and it enjoys the same quick, intuitive performance combined with the finger touch interface. It takes razor sharp photos and still has the loud, crisp speakers which I believe are among the best on the market.

What attracts a lot of people to this phone is its small price tag. Coming in at somewhere under $120, you really can’t go wrong with this one.

I’d venture to say that the CECT i9 is now approaching the popularity of the previous P168.

Nokia N99i TV Phone – A Dual Sim, Texting IPhone Clone With Analog TV and a 3.0 Mega Pixel Camera

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:37:29 +0000

There’s very little debate that the iPhone clones are popular because they offer all of the features made popular by Apple at a fraction of the price. These little knock offs are always unlocked, allowing you to use which ever network or carrier you chose without being chained to AT&T. They are usually dual sim, which is really like having two phones for the price of one. And, you can remove the battery yourself with out having to run to the dealer every time the battery dies. In today’s scary economy, every little bit helps, so these things are very attractive to consumers.

But, if there was ever any draw back to the clones, it was that most models mandated you text on a finger touch screen. This works great for some people, but many are used to and prefer texting on raised keys. Luckily, there are a few models that allow this, offering clone features combined with a full keyboard and scroll bar.

Of these texting clones, the N99i (or Nokia N99i as it is sometimes called) is probably the most popular. It’s attractive, fast, user friendly, and sleek. Messaging on it is a nice, quick experience. Better yet, the manufacturers have added an analog TV and an awesome 3.0 MP camera to this phone.

There is one very popular clone with the “TV out” feature (the CECT A988). This means that you can hook the phone up to your television and watch video on the phone on a larger screen. The analog television on the N model is different because you are watching real time local television via antenna. The 988 is also not as finger friendly for messaging.

In addition to this, the Nokia N99i is a very feature rich mobile phone, which includes: a 3 inch, finger touch LCD screen and stylus; full MP3/MP4 capabilities; a very high quality 3.0 mega pixel digital camera and webcam; double Bluetooth; a voice recorder; fm radio; two sim slots; and expandable memory. You can transfer information between your computer and the phone through a USB cable. The phone does not require software and will read your GSM sim card. This one is a tri band.

This one is a very high performing model that you can usually get for under $150 if you know where to look. Considering the very high quality camera (most of the replicas have 1.3 or 2.0 mp cameras) and the analog television feature, this is very reasonable, even for a clone.

Java 32 (AKA SciPhone) – Why This New Shake and Tilt IClone May Be the Best Mini Model Yet

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:21:52 +0000

In the world of iPhone clones, consumers love to debate which model works the best, and which feature no phone should be without. Most are very passionate about their stance in this debate. The truth is, there is no right answer here. There’s only the right phone for each individual. One size does not fit all, but luckily, there are many different models from which to choose. For folks who are looking for a sleek, fast performing shake and tilt model with the latest version of Java, the SciPhone just might be it.

Shake and tilt is among the most widely debated iPhone clone features. Frankly, you either love it or you don’t much see the need for it. I’m of the camp who finds it very useful because there’s no fumbling around or scrolling involved. You just shake the phone when you want to advance songs or media. Likewise, you only need to tilt the phone when you want to take the picture to wide screen.

Examples of these shake to the music phones are the HiPhone i32, the CECT A380i, A88, and the A8+.

The SciPhone is among the newer of these models. It is known my many names, including Y32, 168 / i68 and the “mini HiPhone.” It differs a bit from its predecessors in a few ways. First, it’s thinner, smaller, and a good bit sleeker. It also now has an e-book reader. However, the addition that is getting the most attention is the latest version of Java. This addition opens up a whole new realm or productivity and gaming possibilities, including MSN, Office, and PowerPoint, to name only a few.

This allows you to read, edit, and manipulate documents away from your desk. It gives you productivity tools almost comparable the Blackberry. But, the availability of cool games can make it difficult to actually get down to work and use these tools. This is my own experience and flaw, though, and not the phone’s.

This java mobile still has all of the smart phone specifications that you would expect, including: a generous 3.2 inch finger touch interface; dual sim slots for two numbers or plans; slide unlock so that you can use whichever carrier you wish; a 1.3 mega pixel camera which also serves as a webcam; Bluetooth 2.0; full MP3 / MP4 capabilities; web browsing, emailing and messaging via GPRS and WAP 2.0; and 2GB of expandable memory.

The smaller size and number of features does not slow this model down any. It’s very fast and I love the e-book reader even though I thought I would never use it. I am finally getting around to reading the free reports / e-books I always download but never read.

The SciPhone still has the loud import speakers that are crisp and sharp. Initially, I wished for an upgrade to the 1.3 MP camera, but I’m surprised at the quality of the photos. Since this model starts at only about $150 and the price is falling, this phone is a no brainer if you like the smaller size.

M88 Mobile Phone – The Features on This Quad Band Include Windows 6.0, WiFi, GPS, and Java

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:38:22 +0000

It seems there’s a new iPhone knock off released each week. The manufacturers are getting very good at deciphering what consumers want in a phone and providing it in a timely manner. Still, a knock off that included WiFi, GPS, Windows 6.0 and supported Java was a long time coming. Many of us thought we would get it with the Nokia N95 clone, but we didn’t. The HiTune T68 does have Windows, but not the rest of the features. Finally, this trinity of features became available with the CECT T32, (AKA Daxian X999 – but this one is tri band, not quad band.) This tradition continues with the M88 mobile phone (which is a quad band). I will discuss the M88′s features in this article.

Specialty Features: Of course, the biggest draw to the M88 is that it has many of the features that other clones don’t – namely Windows Mobile 6.0, GPS, WiFi, and Java 2.0, as previously mentioned. With Windows and the “flo touch” interface, this phone is very intuitive and user friendly.

The third party applications, games, software, and downloads available via Java are many. Just some of the more popular applications are Outlook Express, Skype, MSN, Word, Power Point, Excel, And PDF. This really adds another dimension to this phone, with the possibilities being pretty much endless, based on what you want or need in a phone.

Standard Features: In addition to the additions which get the most attention, this phone also has the “everything in one phone” model that has made the clones popular, like: web browsing, email, texting and messaging (SMS, EMS, GPRS, MMS, and WAP); Bluetooth; MP3 / MP4; FM radio and voice recorder; handwriting recognition; e book reader; digital camera (2.0 mega pixels) / webcam; and data transfer (and charging if you like) via USB.

The memory is expandable on this phone so you don’t need to worry about it eventually bogging down or slowing up. The M88 has a 3.2 inch screen and the “flo touch” or “menu in and out” touch interface which means that you can scroll through data or manipulate documents using only your fingers. The talk time on this one is a generous 3-5 hours, with the standby time at about 120 hours.

Size: This mobile is your standard sized clone. It is not as small or as sleek as some of the “mini” models that are out today. It weighs about 150 grams and has the dimensions of approximately 115mm X 61mm X 14mm.

Quad Band: As mentioned earlier, the M88 is a quad band, supporting 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz. This covers most all GSM networks world wide. You don’t need any software. The phone will read your GSM sim card. Since the very similar T32 smart phone is a tri band, this is one of the major differences between the two.

Price: This phone is currently running around $250 -$280, depending on the memory included. Sometimes the T32 is a bit more expensive, but typically not much. But, these phones are arguably the most loaded and complete iPhone clones to date so most feel that the price (which is slightly higher than other popular models which don’t include all of it’s bonuses) is well justified.
