The next iPhone iteration is coming, if all the iPhone 4G rumors are to be believed, but what interests us today is the new HiPhone slider, dubbed W008. The HiPhone W008 looks passably like a Nano clone, but rest assured the clickwheel is a genuine knock-off of the original. For $127.99 you get a slideout keypad, dual cameras, JAVA, MP4 and MP3 support. Also added is a shake-function for music browsing. It’s available in different colors and seems pretty solid design-wise. For more info click at the link below.

Taking a leaf from the Cooli902, HiPhone has introduced a new slideout version of its famous iPhone clone and calls it the YPhone 168+. It’s not the yPhone! (Yahoo! Phone) and no word on the all-important OS for the 3.2-inch touchscreen phone, and we cannot allow our readers to get their hopes up assuming the rendering above is how the YPhone 168+ homescreen actually looks life. However, the well-featured iPhone clone has WiFi, a TV antenna, dual-SIM and dual cameras. It has Bluetooth and JAVA support, plays MP4 and MP3 and records audio and video. They’re selling it for $169. at the store link below.

Specs of the YPhone 168+ after the break…. Pardon me, but isn’t that supposed to be SciPhone 168+?

This isn’t an iPhone clone anymore. PMP Today cannot categorize the HiPhone i5 as such with our conscience in tact. What it is is the most beautiful HiPhone we’ve ever seen. I only hope that eventually they’d bring out an Android version. The hardware is, on the scale of awesome between 1 and 10, somewhere between 10.5 and iPhone killer. It’s not just the bronzy metallic exterior that shines like jewelry fit for the Gods, it’s also the two sets of round control pads below the screen that is pretty much all you need for dialing and multimedia navigation. It’s a touchscreen as well, boasting 3-inches of screen space for your stylus. Other features: dual (1.3MP and 5MP) cameras, MP3 and MP4 playback, dual-SIM stand-by, JAVA and FM radio. Only $148 from Chinagrabber.

The HiPhone i5 is a genuinely beautiful gadget and thin at 11mm. Read on for more photos.

The most famous iPhone clone is at it again: HiPhone has a Nanoesque phone to tickle everyone’s fancy all the way to Christmas. Take that SciPhone! We surely hope you’d buy this one. In fact, I predict there will be a horde of surprised colleagues, friends, bosses, aunts, uncles, nices and nephews this Christmas when they all unwrap their new HiPhone F320.

You see, this iPhone clone is unique among iPhone clones–not to mention that it’s specifically an iPod Nano clone–in that it dares to be innovative. The HiPhone F320 doesn’t have a clickwheel below the screen but a dial-wheel. Unfortunately, the numerical keys are push-button and not the rotary type of old. Other features:

• quadband GSM
• 2.6-inch touchscreen
• 1.3 MP camera (video recorder)
• MP4/ MP3
• Bluetooth, FM

Below are some useful Youtube videos that helps you setup a CECT phone to a U.S. network. This may not work in all popular iPhone clones but in my experience they often use the same software and hardware parts. The videos can be found on this site.

The specs shows nothing special, really: 3.2-inch touchscreen, WiFi, JAVA, FM tuner, Opera browser and portable TV. It’s supposed to be the thinnest HiPhone ever at 11mm. Is this the mother of all iPhone clones? No, but other manufacturers should get an idea on where iPhone cloning should be headed.

This is a crazy thin laptop from our beloved HiPhone. Only 22mm deep, which is slightly thinner than the MacBook Air. Sure it’s plasticky and it only has an Intel N270 1.6GHz processor but for 12.1-inch 160GB netbook, the $450 asking price is fairly reasonable. They even have a cheaper model here, but you need to use a lot of SD cards. You’ll need to look at the photos provided here with some skepticism, as I don;t see any USB ports or LAN sockets anywhere in the notebook. I would wait till the people at Hiphone have a demo video at least posted in the site. You can check out the MacBook Air Teso to see how a product photo is done.

HiPhone iLaptop 2009 specs (full list here):

• 21.1-inch lcd
• Atom 1.6GHz
• 1GB RAM (?)
• 160GB SATA
• WiFi and ethernet LAN port
• 2 USBs (can’t find USBs in photo)
• dimensions: 302mm x 215mm x 22mm
• 1.4 kg

The WiFi + TV phone is the best HiPhone yet. Fortunately, it also clones one of the best looking phones around, and I don’t mean it’s an iPhone clone. The BlackBerry Storm form factor is a breath of fresh air on the HiPhone F06-Slim WiFi TV phone. You heard right, TV and WiFi (we rechecked and it appears WiFi TV doesn’t exactly mean it has WiFi). From the 3.2-inch touchscreen, the dual-stand-by dual-SIM to the Internet on-the-go via WLAN and the TV tuner, the Hiphone F06 Slim is packed quad-band GSM phone. The best part is it’s only $190.

The F06 Slim features…

*
TV, Touchscreen with handwriting input, MP3 player, MP4 player / record, Video Recorder, Sound Recorder, GPRS, FM radio, JAVA, Wifi, Calculator, Calendar, Memo, Alarm, Bluetooth function

But not sure why they call it “Slim”.

Okay, we cannot resist but post about this new HiPhone Nano. The F210 is flip iPhone clone that incorporates the stylings of Motorola Aura and may very well be a more effective fashion statement with the inclusion of an iPod clickwheel. It’s a direct descendant of this HiPhone Nano. It comes in two colors for now. Hopefully more will be added. For $139.99, you shouldn’t expect monster features in the F210, and don’t ask me about the logo in front. I don’t know what or who Egs is and if it’s connected somehow to HiPhone.

HiPhone Nano F210 features:

• triband GSM
• 1.4-inch screen
• VGA camera
• Bluetooth A2DP
• FM tuner
• Video and Music support

SciPhone is another iPhone clone brand you should watch out for

Who knew that the HiPhone could share branding with the famour iOrgane phone. Shows you how little we understand about Chinese iPhone clones, though the resulting phone seems more like a Samsung Omnia clone. The iOrgane F8 HiPhone boasts a 3.5-inch touchscreen, TV receiver and it takes two SIMs at a time besides being able to work on an AT&T network (it’s a quadband GSM). It’s got video playback capabilities, Bluetooth A2DP and a camera. I seriously doubt this was made for under $40. Anyway online price for this baby is just $190, so besides being a HiPhone and a TV phone, the iOrgane F8 s a cheap phone.

Specs of iOrgane F8 Hiphone:

3.5-inch touchscreen
quadband GSM
TV and FM receivers
MP4 and MP3 playback
Bluetooth A2DP
TF card slot w/ 1GB TF card included
JAVA
1200mAh lithium battery
