Can't wait to get your hands on Sony Ericsson's hotly anticipated XPERIA X1? Then perhaps this so-called SongLiveX1 will suffice -- or, not. If for some reason you do decide to take the plunge, however, you can apparently expect a 3-inch 240 x 320 display (not a touchscreen), dual cameras (one of which is supposedly 5 megapixels), Bluetooth, all the usual media-playing functions and, oh yes, an NES emulator. All that can be yours for the bargain price of €82 to €98 (or $128 to $154), depending on the quantity purchased.

that looks nothing like the x1.
Yeah but the QWERTY keyboard is fake. Try typing on it, nothing will appear on screen. I also love that "red" Chinese character left of the mail short cut.
Looks like it was built pretty well for something fake. And you've got to love the NES emulator. lol
But I think I'll wait for the REAL X1 since the Sony logo is a bit nicer. =)
Appears to have dual SIM slots as well?
NES Emulator? Are you kidding me! This is gonna change everything we know about cell phones
/end-sarcasm
also check out their iPhone:

Dual sim slots as well.
i would bite if it had wifi..
What do you think that sweet antenna is coming out of the left side? A stylus? Pffff!
does have touchscreen, all china mobiles do
lol "SongLive"
Nothing like using Babelfish to translate your product's name...
Actually Engadget, the phone is touch screen and the keyboard does work, most phones on that site are touch screen (I had one), no wifi or 5mp cam, but most likely a 1.3mp camera, but actually has a TV tuner, which is pretty crazy...
If what they say about the real X1's keyboard works really like the VAIO U series, this fake one may have a better KB....let's hope not.
does anybody else get the idea that if Blackberry sent one of these shops a wish list today, the Thunder would've been out the door a week ago?
But seriously, they could do that, then polish it up a little stateside, clean up the UI, toughen the case design, and probably halve R&D costs, ya know?
i would buy it...but it doesnt spell SEX1
Can someone please tell me why all chinese knockoff phones have to use that ugly MS-Mincho-esque font?
A majority of these cheap knockoff phones use mobile phone solutions (chipset+OS) from MTK (MediaTek). To keep costs low, they do little to zero modifications to the reference sample OS supplied by MTK. Therefore you can see these manufacturers produce knockoffs of popular phone models very quickly because they don't even have to develop the mobile phone OS.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING GET THAT THING AWAY FRO ME
whats with the "RED DRAGON" symbol in the lower left corner of the keys.
It's "Chinese", probably a button to switch to Chinese input
yeh, another crap comes from china again
That is a real nice fake. I almost feel like picking one up right this minute but, I am not.

It's even got the kaiser's tilt!
If there is no touch screen, how the hell do you dial a phone number?
well, don't just yell there
Sue it if Sony thinks it is copying.
