The SciPhone can initially pass for an iPhone, especially if you don’t look at it up and close. Apparently the i68 has taken its design from the iPhone and could be a potential substitute just in case you are looking for something similar.

The Cect HiPhone is the most popular iPhone clone brand right now but a pretender has just arrived that might be able to successfully challenge its dominance. For one thing, the SciPhone model i68 is pretty damn close hardware-wise to what the iPhone looks like.

Specs of the Sciphone (pronounced Sky Phone) include a quadband GSM connectivity, 3.2-inch touch screen with both finger and stylus input, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth (!!), Fm tuner and a G-Sensor for flick navigation. The demo video below shows only a changing of wallpapers when the Sciphone is flicked but it should also be able to change track by flicking.

For the kids, it has got handy shortcut keys called the Mom Call key and Dad Call key where the parents can set a pre-programmed number for quick dialing.

There are a few games available on the phone. It features the ability to change ringtones or wallpapers. In the Flashlight mode, the phone turns on all of the glowPhone lights. There’s also text messaging support.
