That's awesome!
damn i like that android charger!....
Only the Chinese... sometimes I am so ashamed to be of the same racial group.....
100-240V usb charger *drools*
Oh wait, they just forgot to include the wall outlet adaptor *cleans up drool, throws it at the little red book*
It looks so funny :D
If only those eyes lit up...then it would be the ultimate hax.
they do light up! i have one :)
They'd make more money stateside if they just sold that awesome charger online. Android fans (of which I expect there to be many more by the end of the year considering all the new Android sets coming out) would be all over it.
Man that charger is just full of win
Heh, butt plug.
no.
bahdumtish
haha, i LOLed.
+1
Sweet, that sticker is already peeling on the back.. China makes hand made quality pieces of shiz we're talkin here!
You mean the sticker that says MADE IN TAIWAN?
@Uncontrol
Meh, just the sticker was from Taiwan... lol
So the phone doesn't run real android even though its open source? wtf
How is it we dont have this? Very cute.
Also looks like it is made of the cheapest plastic available. (Although I would still buy one if it was sold independently) Why am I not surprised? Maybe we should make chargers that look like Steve Jobs. Now let me jam this end of the USB cable right here and then plug Steve's prongs into the wall.
that charger is... as we say in the dirty south... "Gangsta"
You're a fool if you think that "gangsta" is only used where you are.
@ Lando Calrissian
and your a dumb ass for taking words to serious
Lando's prolly what we call in the dirty south a "jerk"... but he prolly knows its what people all over the world call him..
Can I use the SciPhone on Sprint in USA?
No it's GSM quadband. Only Americans use CDMA.
when they cant pirate a software they do it, but when they actually can, they choose not to. what an ego!
I think you're a little confused over the terms "pirate" and "open source." You don't pirate open-source software.
Do androids dream of androids' naughty bits?
Hideous fanboy junk. I guess it'll look pretty in your man purse, won't it?
Might as well "get your nails did" while you're at it.
Android && Pre < iPhone
wurd.
thats what she said.
now perish.
If anything I'd expect the iPhone owners to be the super metro/homo-sexual ones.
Not to mention the phone's logo looks like T-Mobile's.
Wasn't there an article some time ago about this phone using the actual android OS? Or was that some other chinese phone?
i might actually buy this haha i need a junk phone for when i go doing things like skating and i dont want to bring my e71 or my htc touch... for 150 or so shipped that not terrible plus i get a kickin charger out of it its a win win plus its from deal extreme iv ordered from them like 50 times yea it takes forever to get here but their products arnt bad at all i ordered a 4gb mem stick duo highspeed and it was perfect and only 11$ shipped
I'd like to see some reviews of these Chinese/Taiwanese phones, I wonder what the quality is, specs etc.... these phones are prolly made in the same factories and same components anyway.
Well, technically HTC phones are Taiwanese phones...
And yeah I'm sure most components in phones are made in China anyways.
Quote from Jubeh on XDA-Dev ----- the fake android phones run an os called nucleus os which is basically a phone os for mtk processors that sells for $15,000 for unlimited licensing. cheap when you're making hundreds of thousands of handsets and putting the same os on all of them. the os is skinnable, and it's responsible for all your fake chinese ipod, iphone, android, and almost anything with a touchscreen coming from china. One would ask, why fake android if android is open source? well, android is a fatty. while nucleus os might fit in a 32mb nand, you can't cram android (an usable one anyway) in anything less than 64mb nand. most of those phone's mtk processors come with built-in storage, and nucleus happens to fit in them, so the maker saves money by using less components (i've had a few of those phones, you open them, and there's hardly anything in those pcbs), really, those phones cost about 30 dollards to make (maybe less) and they sell them for 100-200, that's a profit right there.
makes sense... thanks for the insight!
I like how it actually even says "With Google" on the front packaging. Not to mention they even colored the first letter of "Sciphone" magenta to make it look like T-Mobile's logo. I'm sick of KIRFs, can't people make up their own ideas? Or, just grab the actual Android OS? They are funny to look at though.
How are the phones? Are there any good review sites for these phones?
Did they steal T-mobile's logo design too? I do like the idea of it, bu that seems to take so much surface area of an outlet, maybe if it was smaller.
Have the phone. Love the phone. The charger, on the other hand, makes no sense. I have 2 batteries that come with the phone. They are very long lasting - 1 battery will last me 3 days - however, I can't charge the second battery independently. The charger only plugs into the phone. Waste of a battery.
hi does this charger work in uk
