Sci-Phone: iPhone Clone Runs Java Apps, Still Phony
July 4th, 2008
Nope, your eyes aren’t fooling you. This isn’t an actual iPhone. It’s the latest in a long line of iPhone knock-offs to find its way to our shores from China. The SciPhone isn’t the first iPhone clone out there, but it’s the first one I’ve seen that claims to run native Java applications.
The case design and the on-screen icons of the DigitalRise Sci-Phone D990i definitely look quite a bit like a legitimate iPhone, but upon closer look, you’re likely to be able to tell the difference (gotta love that floppy disk icon for documents). The iFake even tries to outdo the original by offering something called “shake control”, which lets you shuffle through songs by simply shaking the phone.
The Sci-Phone D990i features a 3.2-inch color touchscreen (some of the docs say 3.5-inch, so I don’t know which is accurate) , a 1.3-megapixel digital camera, and offers Bluetooth support. Since it’s an unlocked quad-band phone, it’ll work on any GSM-based network, and uses GPRS for data services (sorry no Wi-Fi or 3G ).
With the new iPhone 3G hitting stores next week for just $199, and Sun working on Java support for the real iPhone, you’d be hard pressed to come up with a reason to drop over $200 on this complete fake. The only reason I can think of is if you’re not an AT&T customer and want people to think you have an iPhone. Frankly, you’d be better off picking up an iPod Touch and pretending to speak into it.

Sciphone i9+++ i68 Software DVD
I currently have compiled a DVD as there is too much data to burn to CD (over 700MB):
Over 400 games, wallpapers, ringtones and screensavers.
English Manuals and guides (PDF format and word)
Drivers for windows
Verious Pc suites
sciphone codes for checking the build time and reset codes etc
Java Apps including browser settings and mms settings
I also have firmware files, (but upgradeing reguallay) – please note, to upgrade “firmware” you will need to purchase flash cable. i do not sell these, how-ever i can send you a link to show you how to make your own and where to buy them from.
This DVD (was only a regular CD) has proved very popular to people who believed that the “SCIPHONE” would do the same as the “IPHONE”
unfortunatly it isnt. its some random CHINA company, useing “Bits “N” Bobs” from verious other electrical componants, such as samsung, nokia, and apprently now so other big brand names.
Many of you have been looking for ages if not months for this much sought after information and CD. which i will add a note to E-bay here: everything that i am offering on this dvd for the buyers of the sciphone. is complety free to download by them selves.but why spend hours and hours looking for and eventually downloading, when some-one else has allready done it for you. So all i am charging for is my time and hard work for building such a usefull and resorcefull DVD.
Feel free to ask any questions about this DVD via email at: [email protected]
NB there are many fakes (CLONES) of these phones. so if your phone is a fake the firmare files may not work. there are forums which will tell you if your phone is fake or not, also i have the codes to dial into your handset which will tell you your build-time etc…
HAPPY BUYING FROM ME:
And i hope this dvd will remidy some of your problems with your phone, if not all of them, but for £3.50 its worth a shot.
I am compileing a new dvd very soon so as soon as these dvd’s are gone be sure to look for more.

i am getting one from my dad and i was wondering if there are any apps for this phone?? bc i really want to have them for school..
I need a pdf reader for the fake iPhone 4. It doesn’t connect to WiFi nor does it accesses to internet via GPRS. I mean it appears just like real iPhone, but it is just functional as a phone, music player and music player. Therefore, I want to use it as a e-book reader(java) at least, but currently it doesn’t even open any e-book file.
Please help !
Thanks in advance…
