Chinese iPod style phone; We actually thought this is how the iPhone is going to look like

If you find the device on the image above familiar, just remember all those “iPhone is coming” articles prior to the official launch. When no one knew how Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s handset is going to look like, some of us — including the people from the Business 2.0 magazine — thought it will look like this. The idea was that iPod only lacked a numeric keyboard. Afterwards, we saw Apple shining with the quite different thing…

Anyway, at just 72 grams, the iPod style slider phone is quite light, yet it packs some really decent specs. There’s the 2.2″ 176×220 pixels screen, 2 MP camera, stereo speakers and the standard microSD expansion slot. It’s also important to add, that it comes in all white and looks iPodishly sexy. I could go further and say this is one of the best looking Chinese phones we’ve ever seen. Too bad it’s a semi-clone device… More photos after the jump.
