Keepin' It Real Fake, part CCXX: "Sony" T77 phone isn't a Cybershot... it's so much more

If you find the ten megapixels of (legit) Sony's DSC-T77 absolutely decadent, why not settle for (illegit) Sony's two megapixel-wielding T77 smartphone? The tradeoff for lower resolution pics is a dual SIM solution with Bluetooth A2DP support, FM radio, MP3/4 player, microSD slot, e-book reader capabilities, WAP connectivity, and a 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD display that's a tad smaller than its doppelganger. It's even got its own plectrum for rocking out with your, erm, KIRF out. Think this is everything you could possibly want and more? Decidedly Chinese vendor solomobi's selling it at $116.

Is it just me or are some these KIRF's actually starting to look good?.... I need a job...

Wouldn't it be weird if some modder "engine swapped" this KIRF by exchanging the 10-megapixel sensor from the original DSC-T77 and tweaking the firmware?

Ha! I was actually holding my mums T77 when i read this article!

I was holding your mom's Ti77ies last night

How come I have never actually heard of a legit phone that has dual SIM card slots, it's all the fakes that have them

[Patlex Posted Jul 7th 2009 2:01AM]

Because if you didn't have a dual sim card slot, then there would be less incentive to buy one, or even look at one.

touch pro 2?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 4:26AM]

Samsung released a phone before that has dual sim card capability.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 2:14AM]

If it is a real Sony, it would be already a top gadget of the year and win tons of awards. I would suggest Sony to immediately "steal" this idea and makes it real ( or real of fake? ) :-)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 2:21AM]

so would be a bad decision to buy one of these phones? i really want a dual SIM phone.

Is it just me or does that guitar pick and leather strap look like a penis?

[GnuGeek Posted Jul 7th 2009 3:48AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 1:43PM]

[Blackflag486 Posted Jul 7th 2009 2:54AM]

Nice

Great way of showing appreciation to your tipster engadget... just call him a faceless loser.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 5:18AM]

[Gad Get Posted Jul 7th 2009 5:29AM]

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 7:12AM]

lulz were had.

[peepeeland Posted Jul 7th 2009 4:50AM]

For the feature set, this is quite affordable!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 10:21AM]

Oh man, ten bucks says China tries to sue Sony if Sony ever puts a phone in one of their cameras.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 10:34AM]

something tells me this thing doesnt actually have Carl Zeiss optics...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 11:41AM]

for all the KIRF's "innovations" I have yet to see one with a quality built or quality firmware. Usually its that über soft plastic that breaks right away. crap capacitors. and slow firmware.

I wish people would stop support these guys so they would go away.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2009 1:45PM]

If people kept buying them, they'll have enough money to actually stop making ripoffs and do their own r&d. Most Chinese electronics companies get into the market this way.

This joint looks good.
