Well, here's a bit of an extra special KIRF to start the week on the right note. Not only one of the first Nexus One clones we've seen (HTC Desire aside), but a Nexus One clone running some sort of reasonably faithful imitation of iPhone OS (or the iPhone OS home screen, at least). Of course, considering the 550 yuan price tag (or about $80), you likely won't find a Snapdragon at the heart of this one, and you'll have to make do with a slightly smaller 3.2-inch screen compared to the real deal, along with an actual trackball instead of an optical trackpad. Not much more than that go on at the moment, unfortunately, but there are more blurry pictures where this one came from at the link below.
iPhoney? I see what you did there.
@Bryant what you did there, i see it ^_^
Part...?
iPhoney?
That joke was in the simpsons.
@JimJam707
P'oh!!
@JimJam707
SIMPSONS DID IT SIMPSONS DID IT
@Broderbund Southpark did it too.
@Tawm
That's because Southpark copies the simpsons.
Don't get me wrong, I like both shows
@techee44
-facepalm-!! :P
Does it support multi-touch?
News just in... Steve Jobs is suing HTC for copying iPhone OS and trying to disguise it as a fake!
HTC countersue as this one already multitasks so can't be copying...
i think engadget should have a video titorual for teaching people how to take photos that are no blurry.
@machikakara Ah, but then they wouldn't be leaks. I think Engadget should do a tutorial on how to make your photos as blurry as possible so as to provide the possibility for more leaks.
@machikakara
The site in the image contains a bunch of very sharp pictures of the device, don't know why we're getting a blurry one.

@Aomen That's the engadget way. BLURRY AND SIDEWAYS PHOTOS ONLY!!!! It's actually pretty lame they do this. (Hint: It's all marketing for them, don't forget who owns Engadget)
Also on a different note "along with an actual trackball instead of an optical trackpad". What? The real Nexus One has a trackball. Not an optical trackpad.
@machikakara I think this is the first time blurrycam has spreaded into the KIRF world, most KIRF tipsters actually provide clear shots.
Blasphemy!!
Lol, thats an oxymoron if I ever I saw one.
WHY not just run real Android 2.1......
shouldn't be so difficult for them...
@num0
Are you kidding? These KIRF guys always go out of their way to make more work for themselves. Haven't figured out why yet.
@num0
Yeah, what goes through the minds of these Chinese KIRFers. You have THE SOURCE CODE OF THE ACTUAL OS out there on the net and you shoehorn a skinned WinMo6.5 onto it????
that thing is probably better than the original
@fuesse
Why you think that. I love my n1.
@matknny
oh, dont worry, i m sure its fine for tons of people!
personally i do not like the design of the software and i do not like the design of the phone.
i also didnt think their customer support was/is worth a dime.
etc.

@Donald Melanson
doesnt the real deal nexus one have a real track ball?
@samwitwicky
I think they mixed up the two when writing the story, cause I'm looking at my Nexus1 right now, and it has a ball for sure.
@samwitwicky
I noticed that in the article too and was going to comment but it looks like you beat me to it.
@samwitwicky
yep
Oh Mr. Blurrycam, how we meet again
I'm confused, is this perfect? Or terrible? Dammit!!
@ttennebk It would have to be the other way around, an iPhone running android, in order to be perfect.
@tvick47
It happened. And h*** froze over.
Yes it does
The Nexus already has a trackball though
iPhone OS or modified Android!
One day, the roles will switch as China makes the real deals while the rest KIRFS.
@SeNg Please don't... I hate nightmares.
That is cool.
