This newest iPhone clone, the n99i, is often called or mistaken as the nokia n99i, but it is definitely an iPhone inspired clone from China. Like the iPhone, it has a high resolution touch screen as well as the ability to surf the web, play music, watch and record video, take high quality pictures, and enjoy Bluetooth all from the comfort of your mobile phone.

However, the N99i takes iPhone technology several steps further. The phone is unlocked which means that you are not chained to AT&T's expensive monthly service as you are with the iPhone. Additionally, the manufacturers of this clone added a removable battery. Consumers of the iPhone complained that you had to take the iPhone to the dealer every single time the battery died and the N99i manufacturers jumped at the opportunity for improvement.

Going even further, the clone added additional speakers and surround sound. It also majorly improved upon the iPhone's texting capabilities by adding a key pad on the bottom of the phone and handwriting recognition. The n99i is definitely more text friendly than the iPhone.

Further moving beyond the iPhone, this clone has added an additional sim slot so that you can have two cell phone numbers without needing to turn off the phone. (The phone works fine on one sim if you do not need the dual sim feature.)

The N99i is very competitively priced at about $150, but you can often get it for less. Considering it is loaded with features and will save you a lot on AT&T service over time, this phone is worth a serious look, especially if you're a frequent texter.
