This is in the running for most ridiculous fakery we have ever written about. A manufacturer from Shenzhen China, where else, has designed a phone that he wants us to believe has been approved by the Swiss watch maker Rolex. The Rolex A699 has a real ticking watch on the front with gold-plated details, but [...]

This is one confused mobile product, from Gadget Greats. I don’t know what they’re thinking. The iPod Water shouldn’t be put in the same category as HiPhone, SciPhone, TiPhone and other iPod or iPhone clones. An interesting feature of this phone is the “magic voice.” But whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll be concentrating all [...]

Now here’s a Nokia phone you don’t see everyday. The Nokia Mako is a QWERTY-equipped slider that features a 2.6-inch 320×420 TFT display, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, A-GPS, HSDPA connectivity, 128MB internal memory, and runs on S60 3rd edition FP 2 OS. We’re not quite sure how this new design and [...]

This blog has been getting consistent search traffic for the vaporously irresistible Nokia N98 since we did the first post about it. While the N98 remains a concept, an unofficialy one at that, China’s NokLa has been busy concocting an N98 phone. I have to say, the looks and specs are disappointing. You’d think they’d [...]

After the rather laughably Apple HiPhone Nano comes the gorgeously Apple N3+. This seems like a phone from an altogether alien line and I hesitate to call it next-gen or an iteration of the original knockoff HiPhone Nano coming only a few days after the first one. But here it is, HiPhone Nano N3+, presumably [...]

While the world is waiting for the iPhone Nano, HiPhone has come out with its own version of Nano, and guess what, it’s a clamshell. On the outside it has a dedicated media key reminiscent of the iPod clickwheel (it is the iPod clickwheel) and a monochrome screen that displays the time. Inside is a [...]

When Yinlips announced the YDB G70 last year, I was mildly impressed. The hardware hardly changed since we saw the G68, but there is slightly more to the clamshell PMP than just playing music, videos and games support. That’s the G70. With the G80, Yinlips has thrown in its own version of the ultraportable laptop [...]

In China, Apple has apparently released a folder iPhone called iPhone Air. Fake? You betcha. The best part feature of the fake iPhone Air, in my opinion, is not the FM tuner, Bluetooth or camera or the facts that it’s a clamshell, but the Apple logo that glow in the dark. A clamshell iPhone is actually [...]

If you’ve been wishing that the iPhone would become available in another form factor such as a clamshell, then you’re in luck. Some dudes over in China have come out with their a new iPhone clone now showcasing Apple’s little darling in an all-new clamshell, brushed aluminum finish complete with an illuminated Apple logo design. [...]

The time of LG Chocolate has come and gone and it’s the turn of a more sophisticated fashion phone: iPhone! Verizon probably didn’t read the memo and bravely launched the third-generation LG Chocolate. To be fair, Chocolate 3 is specially earmarked for U.S. customers being a clamshell phone. Another good thing is the adaptation of [...]
