[Review] HiPhone - A clone worth its name

Hi everyone!

This is my review of the recently released iPhone clone called "HiPhone". Up to this date it is the only clone that doesn't have to be ashamed of its name and this guide will show you why.

Part One: Unboxing the phone

Part Two: A closer look at the OS

Part Four: Multimedia (MP3 and Videos)

(P.S. Please don't PM me on this topic. You will be getting a detailed review soon and if there are questions left after that you can still post them.)

This is exactly why I won't be getting a HiPhone. There are just too many clones, that seem so similar. Many online stores claim to offer this phone, but in photos and screenshots, and videos, they differ.

I'm looking forward to your review. Too bad this thing doesn't have WI-FI, it would be comparable to some of the mid range phones.

If you are talking about the I32 (aka Hiphone), you are right, it doesn't have wi-fi but if you are talking about the T32 then you are wrong it coming with wi-fi and a GPS built-in but it ain't out yet...

Here are the specs:

That thing looks nice! Too bad it only supports up to 2GB. Do you know when it will be released? Thanks

The Boxu T32 looks very nice and has all I want.

All but availability and decent reputation of the manufacturer.
If the price is right is might be someting to take a chance with.

I can renew my contract at this point, but I am waiting to see this thing online anywhere.

Hope thequality is good.

Eh, the site says that the price is expected to be £250, isn't that $500? which is the price of an 16GB iPhone. If anyone is thinking about getting that clone instead of a 16GB iPhone, needs to think again. imo
