Some Chinese cell phones, such as the iPhone clones can be made with more sophisticated capability. Such as the Ciphone C9, another iPhone clone but possesses dual-boot capability that boots into OS and Windows Mobile 6.5.
The Ciphone C9 also packs pretty decent features including a 2MP camera, GPS Unit, a choice of 4GB or 8GB storage, G-sensor, dual-compass, 3.5-inch touchscreen, WiFi and EDGE connectivity. The phone is priced at $245 but since it’s a clone, you should not expect it to be as good as the iPhone.
The only interesting feature is the dual-OSes, once you’re unsatisfied with the user interface or the applications on one OS, you can then switch to the other. But chances are it’d be buggier than the iPhone. Specs at a glance are as follows:
* 3D compass and GPS position compass
