Phone war results... the latest Chinese Apple!

Recently after hearing about an awesome Chinese phone I was reminded of the dialogue in the movie 2012 : “Trust the Chinese to build anything". The phone in question is pitched against the iPhone 4.

With the launch of iPhone 4, came a host of problems for Apple. The antenna problem and reception issues were just some of them.

What surprised me was that while Apple decided to play them down saying that it was a problem common to all the phones, Chinese mobile manufacturers came out with a mobile that would make u go WOW!

1) Antenna Issue: iPhone 4 comes with an inherent problem, that when held in a particular manner the reception of the phone drops. Reason cited is that both the additional antenna provided by Apple ..blah blah blah…( if u want to read more about this .. then this is not the blog to read! ). Solution : Simple hai… add an extra antenna… This Chinese phone comes with an extendable antenna similar to a cordless phone. Now hold ur phone however u want.. and u still get awesome reception!!! So standing in a crowd like Mumbai locals and afraid of reception failure… well just extend the antenna above the crowd height and there u are!!

2) Extra silent Mode: Smart phone taken to a smarter level. Tired of the vibrations or the blinking light disturbing you when u are busy in something urgent?? Fear no more… coz this phone comes with a sensor that senses your activity and if u are in no mood to take calls or too busy, it automatically retracts the antenna making itself unreachable to the outside world :P So no more disturbing calls or smses. To get it out of that mode just stretch the antenna and there you go.. you will see a lot of smses from ppl asking where u are. So u can pick and choose as to whom u wanna connect to… Talk of Next Generation Technology!

3) Next generation delivery reports: Forget getting those status pending messages from the service provider. This phone ensures that the message sender gets an immediate reply the moment a message is delivered. How it works? Simple; the extra sensitive touch pad is unlocked automatically the moment an sms is received. And then given that ur mobile is in ur pocket or purse… it will automatically hit something sending an auto reply to the sender of the message.

4) Intelligent hold: - U pick up a call from an unknown number and then realize it’s a credit card company calling u .. no worries… This phone senses ur cheek muscle movements while u speak and immediately puts the caller on hold saving u from any excessive pleading / convincing tactics from the other side. It also is being touted as the break thru discovery for anger management. Remember the advertisements where in ppl are shown knocking on other ppl’s door for silly reason just to put a stop to a heated argument turning into a case of domestic violence? … well this phone works on the same principle. The moment u get agitated it puts the call on hold and prevents u from getting into an angry interaction with the caller.

Some things that are supposedly kept similar to the iPhone 4, especially not providing the call waiting feature. (This is as per my friend’s claim who has bought this awesome device J ) The manufacturer’s claim that they dint want to provide every damn facility in the mobile as it might have given it a very high end image resulting in a loss of customer base.

Target market? Anyone who can’t wait for an iPhone 4, or doesn’t have money to buy one. Coz this cool gadget comes at just a price of ` 4500/-
