iPhone cloners: meet your new king. We're not kidding when we say we even tried fake names and disguises at
CES to score an early picture of the DaXian X999 you see here, only to be shot down by the eagle-eyed vendors in the International Pavilion -- but it's out now, baby, and never has
KIRFdom been so thoroughly rocked. Not only does the hardware ape the iPhone -- 3.2-inch single-touch QVGA screen, dual 2MP cameras, motion and proximity sensors -- the UI is actually a
TouchFLO clone running on what is surely an unlicensed copy of Windows Mobile 6.0. That's a hat trick, people -- and to top it all off, the list price is a staggering
$369. It's like we don't even have to make the jokes -- except to say that if your love / hate relationship with Apple compels you to buy this thing, you should probably seek therapy. Random dramatic video of the UI in action after the break.

Oh my god lol. That looks terrible and...is it running windows mobile?
bahahaha "Looks and works like the iPhone but works with Windows Mobile"
haha. yep, that thing looks like it works exactly like the iPhone. but yeah, that's Winmo and TouchFlow.
what a turd.
Definitely a HiPhone Killer.
Just realized. No WiFi.
This looks nothing like the iPhone. Everytime a touchscreen phone comes up, I swear. Apple fanboys.
ya, this does not look very good... check out the 99% D800i iphone clone by DigitalRise here: http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1531 got mine today and am pretty happy with it...
this one has Wi-Fi - the Wi-Phone W99i is the upgraded model and under $300... http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1614&HS=1
Can I have that 3:25 of my life back?
Please?
Especially that 1 minute spent watching a guy scroll a web page.
What I like about Chinese people is they would NEVER buy one of these if the iPhone is available in their city.
Chinese buy specificaly name brand items and they HATE Chinese made brands cause they know the shit won't last and isn't covered by any warranty.
Especially since it was Internet Explorer... not even FireFox... what sort of crappy phone is this!?
wow, that is a gen-u-ine turd popsicle; with a high price to boot. lmao!
It's a fake version of a gen-u-ine turd popsicle; with a high price to boot.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
WHy are people low ranking me?!?! I'm right, it is a copy of the Meizu M8!!
OH MY GOD THIS WHOLE COMMENT THREAD WINS EVERYTHING.
Especially this "I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE"... oh my GAWD that cracked me up.
lol
That really is dramatic LOL
Wow that.... is a terrible name for a product.
Oh and another thing, I think we are all intelligent enough to appreciate that you can scroll up and down on this thing, do we really need to see them demonstrate scrolling for almost a minute?
No. No we don't.
i did some research and the icons on the d800i are really like the iphone's ... the daxian iphones are not... also, only the D800i is tri-band which means it is for the USA... the other iClones are mostly all dual band so be careful when you buy from other sites... That being said, the D800i is tri-band but if you are with ATT, some places in the U.S. are 850mhz meaning it is not supported.... i got mine today and it works great.. i got mine from here... http://www.gadgetgreats.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=781&HS=1
Finally, AN IPHONE KILLLER. IT HAS MORE FEATURES THAN AN IPHONE. THE IPHONE HAS ONE CAMERA, THIS ONE HAS TWO! THIS ONE EVEN COMES WITH A STYLUS.
DOES APPLE PROVIDE A STYLUS?
THOUGHT SO.
*goes into rant about Steve Jobs being the antichrist*
This is so craptastic, I couldn't even imagine the most devout iBunny wasting his/her time to comment on this.
Works just like an iPhone. Stylus and all!
You know what though, there's been quite a few times where I've wished I could have used a stylus when browsing link-intensive web pages on the iPod touch/iPhone. That and also a hard button(s) for scrolling.
Did you see the "Ebay sucks. Don't trust." message flash on for a few frames. And yet I must obey, must obey, must obey...
Yeah, WTF was that???
All things aside, I did kind of dig* the cube interface thing. If it was smoothly done it could look kind of cool.
*Bet your wondering what that star implied? Me too...
...then get the HTC Touch.* ...that cube thing is the craptastic "Touchflow" thing that comes on the HTC Touch.
*just a warning, it's a turd.
Hahaha that made me 'LOL'... :P
Does it even make calls? Can you send texts on it? Does it play Doom?
That 3D cube is the HTC cube that comes with the HTC touch, exactly the same down to the icons.
HTC touch flow ROM...
oh boy... they're gonna get sued to death by Microsoft, Apple and HTC all at the same time...
this I gotta see.
And GOOD GOD! they're claiming to run XP Professional O.o'
High price. And a hacked up patched stolen OS is not so good.
hey atleast it has Exchange connectivity. IPhone doesn't. ;)
False. My iPhone connects to our exchange server just fine. It doesn't implement all the features of exchange, but I can download my email.
I think playing Linkin' Park's "What I've Done" is highly appropriate. What they've done is make a piece of crap.
What are the odds that it'll come preloaded with Linkin Park's discography, all in DRM-free 96k mp3s?

lol dealextreme ftw! my fav product is the Cigarette-shaped Butane Lighter. cuz, you know. 2 'cigs' are better than one.
Hey, I've seen someone with one of those ifone thingies. They say it was the asia version of the iphone.
I thought the meziu m9
Why do you need two 2MP cameras? Does that make it a total of 4MP then? :-)
i want one with 30 cameras so i can see in bee-vision. that would totally r0xor
Does it do stereograms? If it came with a pair of 3D glasses, I'd buy one!
As far as imatations go this one ain't so bad.
Although, I wish the iPhone also had handwriting recognition. Or even copy+paste.
During that neverending scrolling section I kept waiting for the guy to copy and paste something. I mean if you're going to do a knockoff, at least advertise the advantages your product has over the original.
just check out the boxu t32 with gps and wifi and mobile 6 - much better but not out yet i think -
well we know the scolling function works... literally half the video is of scrolling.. you know some programmer spend some late nights getting that working so he wants to show that off...
doesn't work like the iPhone.. the iPhone doesn't require a stylus.
holy crap though... these guys are shameless... rip off the look of an iPhone and rip of HTC touch cube interface thing.. these guys have reach a new low.
Sometimes the fakes are better than the real ones , too bad this doesn't have wifi.
