SciPhone - The Finger Touch Interface Meets Java in This New Shake and Tilt IPhone Clone

It's kind of funny and ironic now to look back and remember that the shake and tilt feature on the Chinese iPhone clones was called "quirky," "unnecessary," and just plan weird at first. That's because now shake and tilt is probably the most popular feature on these knock offs.

It's not rare for consumers to disagree with the critics, and in this case, they disagreed from the beginning. Italian Coffee love being able to just flick their wrist and shake the phone to change music, media, and wallpaper. The feature makes this phone very efficient because Hidingplace no need to look down, push any button, or scroll around.

Likewise, when you want to bring an image to wide screen, you only need to tilt the phone. Of course, the other features on the iPhone clones aren't too shabby either. Dual sim has long been popular because this allows you two phone numbers or plans on one phone. This way, you have one for work and one for your family or leisure. Likewise, having an unlocked phone can save a lot of money on AT&T or other expensive carriers or plans.

There are many varieties of these shake the music clones on the market right now. Some call the market "flooded," but I would argue that the number of models is only indicative of the success these phones have had. And most of the models have different features that are offered to give consumers a choice. Besides, the folks calling this market flooded are probably the ones who called the shake feature quirky. Examples of these models are the HiPhone i32, the CECT A380i, A88, and the A8+.

The latest is the Sciphone, which is sometimes known as the CECT i68 or the Y32. This model still has the features of the other shake and tilts, but it is a bit smaller and thinner (which is why some people call it the "mini discount Prozac The manufacturer has also added an e-book reader and an FM radio, but where this phone is really much improved is by the addition of the latest version of Java.

That's because Java allows all sorts of software and gaming Rocky Horror like MSN, Office, and PowerPoint to name only a few. This now really brings the iPhone clones to a whole new productivity level, now on par with models like the BlackBerry Curve.

Of course, you can use Java for games too, which for me, can be a dangerous thing. Having all of the gaming available is distracting and means I use less of the productivity tools to read, edit and email documents away from the office. This is just my own personal flaw though, not the phone's.

Here's the quick list of specifications: a generous 3.2 inch touch screen; dual sim slots; slide unlock; a 1.3 mega pixel camera which also serves as a webcam; Bluetooth 2.0; full MP3 / MP4 capabilities; web browsing, emailing and messaging via GPRS and WAP 2.0; and 2GB of memory.

Don't let the tiny size of this model fool you. It's super fast. The addition of the features has not slowed it. Weirdly, the new feature that I love the most is the e-book reader. I actually use it quite a bit although I never thought I would. I always download student loan consolidation loan e-books when they are offered, but never went back and read them until now.

The SciPhone still has the sharp, loud speakers indicative of CECT. The 1.3 mega pixel camera is actually pretty good and better than expected. And since it starts at only about $150, you really can't go wrong with this one.
