Some of the Chinese fake phones are really impressive and the HKC Pearl is no exception. The manufacturer of this phone has simply taken the brand name from HTC and the brand name from RIM. Naming apart, the HKC Pearl runs on both Windows Mobile 6.1 and Android operating system and that really makes it worth the hype. The phone runs on EDGE networks and packs some decent features.
Technical Specifications: A 2.8-inch 240 × 320 pixels touchscreen display, 2-megapixel camera, 624MHz processor, WIFI, Bluetooth, Music player, 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM.
Pricing & Availability: No word on pricing and the phone seems to be China-only, so it might never hit the U.S. shelves.

Yet another day and we have one more fake creation from the land of cloned phones, but we must agree that many of such Chinese phones prove to be better than the real ones. It’s the Barbie P520 clamshell phone this time that shares the looks of the Mattel’s Barbie B2 mp3 player. Anyway, this one is not a sponsored product of Mattel. The most interesting part is that the pink heart shaped box even bears the tag line that reads “Barbie Music Phone.” The Barbie P520 phone doesn’t look phony by any means when it comes to technical specifications. The phone measures 60 × 63 × 21mm and weighs 110 grams.

Target Consumers – Multimedia addicts
Should they buy it? – No
Why? - Intelligent consumerism scoffs at single-USP claims. With the Swivel Widescreen multimedia cellphone, the only stand-out feature is a rotating 3-inch screen. Like some of the phones launched in recent times, the portrait-landscape mode switch just requires a swivel effort. However, we believe a multimedia phone looking to break through the clutter should focus on offering the ‘extras’ that we always swear by. At the end of the day, the bias against Chinese phones still exists, perhaps for justifiable reasons. If we had to pick, the carrier-free usage is the only ‘pull factor’ offered by this phone.
