Yet Another iPhone Look-alike

For some reason, more and more 'iPhones' seem to pop up out of nowhere. This might happen because various Chinese mobile phone manufacturing companies are apparently under the impression that by releasing a mobile phone that will resemble Apple's future mobile phone, or the iPod, they might confuse customers into buying their own phones.

While this might or might not be true, iPhone look-alike number one, ZTC 321 now has competition from another mobile phone resembling an iPod, rumored
to go under the name of CECTV668. The handset does resemble an iPod to a certain extent, mainly due to the iPod-like scroll wheel, and the lack of keypad clearly suggests that the phone features a touchscreen.

The people from Uberphones have also discovered a mobile phone that looks exactly like, and almost surely is the same cell phone, on eBay, where, according to the bidder, the phone would include a 1.8 inch touchscreen, a 2 megapixel camera, integrated MP3 player and MicroSD card slot for memory expansion that allows the user to store a greater number of tracks. The 'genuine' iPhone had a price tag of $500.

Also, a simple Google search of the phone's name will prove that not only is this phone impossible to find, but another mobile phone bears the name of CECT V668. While everything about this phone is extremely confusing, including the name, and more information might or might not turn up, the mobile phone is most likely real, not only a Photoshop creation.

Anyone interested in this phone can choose between a white or black version, provided they can actually find the phone for sale in the first place.
