The folks at "HKC" are back on the scene with the Imobile V413 handset. This Touch-esque KIRF boasts a dual WinMo 6.1 / Android OS -- and we're not entirely sure what this means. Other HKC phones have claimed compatibility with both operating systems, and we must admit that the screenshot does look pretty legit. Compared to the for real Touch, this thing appears to have some pretty OK specs, including: a 2.8-inch touchscreen, GPS, WiFi, a 2 megapixel camera and support for audio and video playback. Well played, Imobile. Your move, HTC. Available for $410, or in lots of 50 for $398 each.
$410? LOL
exactly. i'll wait for the palm pre or the G2
I know Ill wait for the plam per and the J2.
$400 are they serious?
Not only is this KIRF, but they are KEEPING IT REALLY STUPID.
If KIRF costs a whooping $410 then it must be damn good.
I wouldn't buy it anyway. Hate KIRFs for their attempt to fool people or promote the "me too" psychology.
Hey, the clocks actually match with the correct times. That's a first...
sorry I had to post here, but there were not comments allowed on the previous article, I'd just like someone over at engadget to filter the daily round up out of the rss
Imobile, hahahah get it Immobile.
Isn't Android FREE? Can't these fakers even put something free on a phone.
Chinese people,
you're too brilliant making great copies of all the phones.
It's called Immobile V413? Interesting choice of name..
Is this running the real android, or the fake android that the chinese Dream G2 ran? (why anyone would make a FAKE Android is beyond me, but they did)
andriodOS + phone with no keyboard = useless.
Actually, I'm waiting for an Android phone without a keyboard (thinner & lighter), now that an on-screen keyboard is on the way.
Considering i have a real att fuze that cost the same price this isnt a deal at all.
Oh,
in case you didn't notice: it also uses a SIRT starⅢnavigation chip !!
SIRT FTW!
No, it uses a “SRIF” chip. And of course, no 3G. The touchscreen is incredibly cheap, too, which is why they give you a stylus. (A stylus? Welcome to 1997!)
If you read the specs at the bottom of the page, you will see that the phone only comes with Windows Mobile 6.1. It’s up to you to port Google Android to the phone.
