The iPhone isn’t getting much attention — thanks to its XXXL-sized sibling — and that probably isn’t going to change for awhile. However, the n933 is making the news because it has a few conspicuous similarities to the iPhone, primarily with the software interface.
It is coming straight out of a China from a manufacturer that we can’t even find, so that should tell you something.
The n933 has a fairly mediocre set of features, with the exception of one:
- 320 x 240 display
- VGA camera
- FM radio
- Dual SIM slots
- 2GB external storage
- An interface quite similar to the iPhone
I can already imagine the look on Steve Jobs’s face when he learns about this. However, the copyright laws in China are seemingly non-existent at times, so people around the world will likely be able to get their hands on it if they want it.
It is priced at $125, and it can be purchased from ChinaGrabber — just be sure to note that it is optimized for operating on European networks. It might not be the most sturdy phone either.
A word of advice: if you want an iPhone, get the actual iPhone.
