Iorgane's KIRFy F9 soon available, but our hearts will go on

Can't make up your mind between an iPhone or a Touchwiz? Are you not too proud to sport a knockoff? Do you really, really like smooth jazz? Bring on the Iorgane F9, an update to the knock-off so sour that it just kept popping up again and again, soon available for purchase in 2, 4, and 8GB flavors. The orange-emblazoned F9 (it looks like a fat apple to us) is lovingly demonstrated below with the soothing strains of Kenny Gorelick -- a man better known to elevators around the world under a different name. Take it away, Kenny G...

Why is this legal??????

How can these companies just copy.................i wonder what country this company is from?

I hate KIRFS with a passion.

Part of the reason is that people give kids KIRF ipod touches and iphones as presents. They don't realize the difference until they run into someone with a real iphone/touch and then they are heartbroken to figure out that there is no pp store for them, and they can't browse any Safari of any sort.

This video was made by a dirty shifty character...

Notice the jerky hand movement... Obviously this video has been sped up to mask the LAGGY OS..

If you can call this shit an OS...

BRING ON THE NEXT POOP STATION 3!

[SirNoDroin Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:40AM]

You know KIRF phones wouldn't bother me so much expect that they also all use that F****ing fugly GB2312 font!!!! Can we make this font illegal, and send a type designer over to asia to show how to not make a font that hurts the eyes to look at?

[Kelvinyam Posted Jul 24th 2009 11:28AM]

There are many illegal things in China, just that such copy and paste ain't one of those...
To be honest, it's kinda cool seeing a hybrid between Samsung and Apple.

[tonyprince Posted Jul 24th 2009 1:25PM]

agree. i hate the iphone w/ a passion but if ur gonna copy, at least change the colors. this is just pathetic.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 6:22PM]

Dammit, that's no Apple logo. Look more like a plum or a grape. Why do these people even try. If they just put their talents to building something of their own design they could probably do a decent job and sell the item on its own merit. When the ChiPhone is announced, these people are going out of business, fast if they're charging $99 for this clone.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 9:58AM]

So.... it fakes the iPhone interface, the TouchWiz interface, and the Android interface all in one package? Why.... exactly would you need three fake interfaces in one system?

[Kelvinyam Posted Jul 24th 2009 11:30AM]

Because it's simply value for money. 3 for the price of less than one. Don't you think so?

[Breex243 Posted Jul 24th 2009 9:58AM]

Not "KIRFy", more like it's the "KIRF King". Best clone I've seen so far (and it has a replaceable battery!

[newreformation Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:27AM]

except it has the classic iorgane game experience:

*tilt screen*...nothing happens....*TILT SCREEN* nothing happens.... and the picture cuts. :\ Nice marketing lol.

[Dest Posted Jul 24th 2009 6:16PM]

Agreed. This is the best KIRF I've seen. The Chinese are actually learning how to code a good interface now.

[hmmwv Posted Jul 24th 2009 11:00AM]

The M8 is so original compare to this.

[Rambo Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:08AM]

Hey, if the girl at :20 uses one of these, it can't be THAT bad...

[magusxxx Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:56PM]

"Look out! iCube dead ahead!"

[havanetalking Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:15AM]

It looks like the 1st gen iphone. maybe apple was like here u can use this one. were done with it.

[montymintypie Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:17AM]

I could only stand the badly compressed music for so long.....

I would never buy a KIRF, but it's the best I've seen so far.

[well weapon Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:27AM]

that's apple's imagery that's been photoshopped. that phone *will not* look like that in real life.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:29AM]

I was going to say it looked like a peach.

[DirkDickbutt Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:29AM]

What the hell? A Sonic clone with a Rayman sprite?

Uh?

[SirNoDroin Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:26PM]

the goal in china is to compile as many stolen things into one as possible it seems.

[GGG Posted Jul 24th 2009 10:43AM]

I think this thing has the same OS as i saw in a Nokia N97 KIRF on youtube yesterday.

I know because those fake Samsung TouchWiz widgets are the same on bot phones ;)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:07PM]

It supports JAVA2!!!

[SirNoDroin Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:27PM]

wow...thank god, i remember back in like 1999 when some things didn't...

wait...what year is it agian?

[Gorilla800lbs Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:11PM]

To all your Kenny G haters...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:17PM]

I don't get the name. Was I-Orange already taken so they figured they could just re-arrange some letters and it'll be fine? Fhat the Wuck?

[SirNoDroin Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:24PM]

so they can copy phones...but not encode a decent web video....

too many P frames...someone forgot about the....

THE I FRAMES!! THE I FRRRRAAAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEESSSSSS

[Andronicus Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:58PM]

I want one.

[niZmo Posted Jul 24th 2009 12:59PM]

I think its stupid to copy a phone and make it look horrible. If they are able to create a phone and manufacture it, I say they should try to design there own damn phone. Why would I buy that if I could just get a 99 dollar 3g.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 1:28PM]

If this were like $50 I'd consider it, half as a joke... but it's twice as much as a 3G, and more than what I paid for a 3GS.... I know you're not locked into AT&T's contract, but if you want to use it, you're gonna have to pay *someone* for service.


By the way, I'm now making Frod Mubstangs in my garage. 20 horsepower, seats 1, may or may not have wheels, authentic cardboard body design. Only $60,000. Get 'em while they're hot.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 24th 2009 2:44PM]

If the Chinese spent this much time and effort trying to make legit things we would be in trouble.

[ohmygosh82 Posted Jul 24th 2009 4:07PM]

it suck just like the crappy Hiphone

[engadgetjp Posted Jul 24th 2009 6:33PM]

Wow, Chinese are smart. They can copy things so fast and so well. It won't be long before they roll out something truly innovative and revolutionary.

[magusxxx Posted Jul 25th 2009 10:08PM]

Yeah, shinrajp, like the wheel.

"Now with two less corners than before!"
