We’ve seen quite a few iPhone clones in the past. However, today we’re presenting you with “something completely different.” It’s the iPhone Flip or at least the Chinese unofficial version. As you can see from the image above, the device doesn’t look that bad at all. Sure some details could be done better and if Apple ever decides to go for the clamshell phone, we’re sure they’ll make it look stunning — but the overall design of this ripoff is quite appealing. This is, of course, not to say you should get one of these. We’re talking about serious copyright infringements here, something we at IntoMobile NEVER support.

As for the specs, the clamshell sports a VGA camera, 2.6-inch QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen, media player and some games. It measures 105x53x17 mm, and weighs roughly 110 grams. The best thing is the price – $100, but again, we’re not saying you should buy it. The quality just isn’t there…
