HiPhone –Another iPhone Clone

Posted on: February 05, 2008

HiPhone –Another iPhone Clone

This photo shows the HiPhone, a GSM phone that is a fairly good copy of the iPhone – from the outside, of course. The shallow geek that’s in you can get the cool - for less.

It costs $239, is unlocked (works with any GSM carrier) and does not come with a service contract. It also come with two batteries and that’s pretty much all that we know about this phone. (video in the full post)

Hi,

I have just got an hiphone and to be honest no major complaints with it. Nothing like the iphone but you get what you pay for and I think the hiphone is pretty ok! But 2 issues,the quality of the images are poor? And the more major issue of not being able to get onto the internet? Please could someone help, I would be really grateful, email me at aj079andrea@aol.com as I have no idea if I need to enter settings etc and if I do how to do that.

Thanks

The Hi-phone does work everywhere, ALL SIM CARDS work, here's the issue... on the main menu the SIM BUTTON is not be to used unless in china, make sure under dual sim you have picked the right sim card, when it asks for CF just push cancel...THEN GO TO SETTINGS, THEN PHONE SETTINGS,THEN BANK SELECT, IT HAS TO BE ON PCS BAND for it to work...after you do that your phone will work.. but if you puch on sim button it will still say no sim as that is for china only, the only thing i have problems with is text messaging, it works but comes up blank?

Our HiPhones just came in the mail via ebay. They both are saying "No Service". Must we use BOTH sim cards to make them work? HELP!
