Everybody wants the iPhone, but they can be as scarce as a hottie at a Star Trek convention. Try some of these alternate choices on for size, ranging from sleek-n-stylish to gamer-geek fabulous:
Nokia LUNA 8600 GSM Phone
With the all-glass cover, and stainless steel back, this looks like a Bond gadget. Where’s the secret compartment with the mini spy camera? Wait, you don’t need one. Slide down the back panel to reveal the 2 megapixel still and video camera. With the LUNA’s onboard video editor, you can edit your camphone video before unleashing it to the world. (Perfect for removing those incriminating bachelor party scenes.) This phone has built-in FM radio, is Bluetooth 2.0 compatible, and handles all the standard email formats. The pulsating light running through the keypad is also a nice touch.
Nokia 8800 Gold Limited Edition GSM Triband
When it comes to features, this phone is pretty standard, but the 8800’s laser-cut, gold steel design is sure to impress. Wait till you whip this baby out at the bar! Be sure to hold it so the light catches it just…so. It has a hands free speaker, but you won’t want to set this one down. Use it where the ladies can see it.
The Samsung Blackjack i607 is custom made for the world traveler and professional busy guy. With the Blackjack, you’re connected in 185 countries with thanks to the quad-band GSM and dual-band HSDPA. Don’t care about globe hopping? This phone is also an office powerhouse. You get full access to Outlook, you can view Microsoft Office documents or Adobe PDF attachments. It also looks a lot cooler than the geeky Treo that guy in the IT department is always futzing with.
The iClone
Can’t wait to get your hands on the real thing? The iClone has all the features of the iPhone: te touch screen is there along with the classic iPhone background image. On second glance you’ll notice the buttons on the front panel, which ruin the futuristic mystique associated with the original. The knock-off comes with MP4 video, TransFlash expandable memory, camera, and (for some reason,) six speakers. If you don’t mind your friends asking why your iPhone doesn’t look quite like theirs, drop two Ben Franklins and you’ll be in with the iPhone crowd. . .from a distance.
This sweet offering by Gionee is a Chinese-made cell phone with a Nintendo NES emulator built in. You can play all your favorite old NES classics, and best of all there is a TV output so you can plug in and relive the glory days of 8-bit, on a full size screen! How cool is that? Your days of airport boredom are over forever, as long as you remember to download Zelda II.
