I totally get why consumers are in love with iPhone technology. You basically have everything you need at your fingertips or in your pocket: the ability to surf the web, listen to music, watch videos, and snap photos.

I also totally understand why most people also have a love / hate relationship with the iPhone. Although the technology is great, in real life there are a few catches. The main one being that the iPhone requires a very pricey commitment to AT&T cellular service (about $100 per month for very basic service.) So now consumers have to just go with this expense or try to hack the phone, which doesn't always work.

Also on the side of the hate relationship is the fact that you are chained to the dealer to replace the battery. This means you'll be going to the dealer a lot. Who needs that? In addition to having your battery replaced, you may also being going to the dealer a lot for repairs. The iPhone is notorious for freezing up all the time for no discernable reason.

These problems left clone manufacturer CECT with a huge opportunity. Not only did the company fix these problems, they improved upon what the iPhone already had. A superb example of this is the HiPhone which claims it is "99% iPhone." I say it is even better than that.

The HiPhone comes equipped with all the technology consumers are looking for. It has the 3.5 inch high resolution touchscreen, offers web browsing, video playing and recording, music, photo, webcam, and Bluetooth capabilities, etc., but it has also made some very cool improvements to the iPhone.

CECT has added an additional sim, making the phone dual sim. This gives you two numbers without needed to turn off the phone. You don't need software for either sim. The HiPhone will automatically recognize any sim card.

This clone also has a slide unlock feature. You just move your hand across the screen and the phone is instantly unlocked.

Of course, CECT has added a removable battery so you aren't dependent on the manufacturer of the phone in any way.

Perhaps CECT's best improvement on the iPhone is that of "shake technology." If you want to change photos, songs, wallpapers, video, etc. all you have to do is shake the phone to move forward. This "shake technology" has really set the HiPhone apart from the other clones.

At about $150, the HiPhone is much cheaper than the iPhone and this price will probably come down. This coupled with the HiPhone's bonus features make it a leader in the attack of the clones.
