iPhone Clone with Fingerprint Reader

Published on 12/ 3/2007

This Chinese iPhone look-alike is codenamed A380 comes with a fingerprint reader (visible at the bottom, it’s the yellow stripe). The A380 is a GSM phone, powered by Symbian OS 9.2, S60 rel 3.1, which is a solid software base to build on. We’re not sure how good the user interface really is (we don’thave high expectations), but it *tries* to be iPhone-cool. For frequent travelers, it also has a Dual-SIM capability. The phone is available in bulk orders only and has not made it to a retailer in the U.S or Europe, as far as we know. Please drop a comment if you see it in the wild.
