KA08 – Mini iPhone clone
These KA08′s are popping up like whack-o-moles on eBay lately. Their quite often mistaken for a miniature iPhone at the first sight, but in reality they aren’t even a U.S. product. Their a Chinese close of the iPhone, and a rather nice one too.
As you can see in the picture, they follow the exact same layout as the iPhone, except smaller. I personally like its size when compared to the iPhone. I mean, just look at it. It’s about as big as a credit card, whereas the iPhone is about the size of a average PDA.
One rather nifty feature it has that the iPhone does not is two available SIM slots. This is a really good idea; I can already see putting a SIM for the U.K. and U.S. in so that its possible to just flash up the phone in either contient, without mucking with the innards. It also helps the phone is Quad-band.
A major downside to this phone though is the the lack of the App store, which is by far the biggest seller on the iPod. (Literally) It makes up for this in its price of roughly 70$ USD new though.
For a chinese clone this phone is actually pretty nice; so much so I’m considering using one as my primary phone.
