The thinnest iPhone knockoff yet

Nobody is going to buy a crappy iPhone knockoff which looks just like an iPhone and barely works, so why not get a thinner phone to look like an iPod touch?

There’s one question my friends always ask, is the iPhone as thin as the iPod touch? We love the iPod touch as it’s amazingly thin. We wish the iPhone could be the same, and the knockoff makers have made one for us, the Air Phone.

In case you can’t recognize, the thicker one shown above is the iPhone 3GS, and the thinner one is the Air Phone.

The Air Phone is a mere 8.5 mm thin, as thin as the iPod touch. Too bad that iPhone can’t do this…

Same as the iPod touch, its optical glass front and polished stainless steel back feel sleek and smooth in your hand. It’s just an iPod touch knockoff.

Alright, this phone packs the same-old features of an iPhone knockoff. You get an UI similar to the iPhone OS, and surprisingly, there is built-in Wi-Fi. The Air Phone gives you a 3.5-inch touchscreen (480×320) with no multi-touch support, a storage of 2GB, Bluetooth and FM radio. Also, there’s a 2 megapixels camera with video recording. There are 4 kinds of languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French) for you to use this phone.

One more thing, the battery is removable but you need special tools to do it. This Air Phone cost only $650 RMB (about $95). If you have an iPod touch, it’s a must to get this for a show-off in front of iPhone users. [Image credits: 789DT and PConline]
