I've been following, using, and writing about the iPhone clones for quite some time. In all of that time, I believe there have been two consistent best sellers. These are the CECT P168 and the HiPhone i32. I believe the reason for the success of these clones is that both have pegged the iPhone's finger touch interface with surprising accuracy and both added bonus features that were desperately needed. This article will cover the i32.
Some of the more popular additional features are dual sim (allowing you to have two phone numbers on one phone if you wish), a removable battery (so you aren't chained to the manufacturer when the battery dies), and a slide unlock (so that you can unlock the phone yourself and use any carrier or network that you wish). Having an unlocked phone has saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on AT&T's very expensive service.

In addition to these bonuses, the HiPhone added one more that is still much sought after and has really set a new standard in clones: shake and tilt. In a nutshell, shake and tilt makes this phone very intuitive and user friendly. When you want to advance songs, you just slightly shake the phone. You can do this with wallpaper, pictures, or any media. Likewise, when you want to take the video, photos, or internet images from portrait to landscape or to wide screen mode, you only need to tilt the phone. There's no button pushing, fumbling around, or scrolling. With a flick of your wrist, you can make whatever advances that you need to.
Sure, this replica also has the finger touch screen and all of the bells and whistles, like: a 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen; seamless web browsing; texting and email; full MP3/ MP4 capabilities; a 2.0 MP camera and webcam; and Bluetooth.
I personally find that the HiPhone's "99% iPhone" slogan is very accurate. It's a very high performing mobile phone. I have not found any problems with it and it remains one of my favorites. It really has everything you might need in a cell / PDA housed in a sleek, compact package.
This knock off debuted at about 0, but has since come down in price. You really can't go wrong considering all of the features and the network savings.
