You all familiar with the great iPHONE, smartphone from Apple, but I’m not sure you heard about the iPHONE clones. The basic problem with iPHONE is that Apple and its suppliers sell it with very expensive contract so we try to look for cheaper options with the same look and functionality. You might be surprise to know that there are many of them out there.

.

Two nice clones are the Chinese:

• HiPHONE: One famous clone is the HiPHONE, the clone is pretty much like iPHONE has the same features except that it runs with windows mobile operating system (nice advantage in my opinion).

.

.

• CECT P168: another great clone from china (I think it’s better than the iPHONE).  Additional feature that the P168 includes and the iPHONE does not is the support of two SIM cards (although not at the same time).

1) S116- HiTech Wealth telecommunications (well-known supplier in China) is selling pretty impressive new phone. They promiss that after 1 hour exposure to the sun will get you approximately 40 minutes talk time. The company claims that solar panel installed on the top side of the clamshell-designed phone can be recharged from other light sourcess except the sun (like candles).
You can’t ignore the potential of more than 400 million mobile users all over China will use solar energy for their cell phones instead of electricity.
Of course today’s basic communications and multimedia features are included in this phone such as high-definition digital camera, MP3 + Video player, support for MP3 ring tones etc’. 
Four great inventions of light energy:
- A unique one-way anti-reflective design- will get efficient use of available light
- Special lens- optimize the conditions under diffuse light energy conversion
- Photoelectric conversion efficiency of micro-modular design
- Low-power intelligent dynamic system to maintain maximum output power to the phone

2) ‘Solar’ is the Simens’s solar cell phone which is very thin dark blue phone with cool design. The cell phone is equiped with touch screen and underneath solar cells are embedded. Sun exposure will recharge the phone automatically. The materials used for manufacturing the phone are fully recyclable. The phone itself will include very basic features. This phone is still in prototype phase but Simens promise that soon it will move to manufacturing.
