Not long ago, there are wild rumors about Apple’s plan to produce iPhone Nano, a mini version of iPhone just like iPod Nano. But it turns out that it’s just a wild rumors and Apple itself denied the rumors because it will defeat the purpose of having a wide screen smart phone at a first place. However, at the other parts of the world, some people picked-up the idea and produce the mini version of iPhone and named it -well, a Mini iPhone! And that mini iPhone has crossed the ocean and made it’s way to our shore – Malaysia.
The mini iPhone pictured above is made in China and sold for RM460 ++ at Brem Mall, Kepong. The design is almost similar to iPhone 3G, but of course smaller to give it a mini size. Even though the home screen made to look like iphone, it’s OS is not. Unfortunately, I cannot manage to get the full specs of this phone. However, this mini iPhone is very attractive and it is a touch screen – just enough to cheat your friends that you just bought a rare Mini iPhone that cannot be found even at Apple Store worldwide.
Last time I check at Digital Mall (USJ) on August 8th, it was priced at RM350 (before bargain).
Its very suitable as a second handphone. As low as RM300 with free 1GB memory card at The Mall Shopping Centre..Cute and practical..
I just bought one for my sister, it just cost me RM250.
calvin,
maybe your sister can share with us about how good or bad is the phone?
Wo kann ich so ein mini handy wie oben auf dem Foto kaufen ,bitte Hilfe

Don’t really know what OS suits this phone. Guess it’s just the standard OS used by many China’s fake phone makers
Dont buy!!! too many weakness & cannot stand in good condition more than a months. battery problem! screen problem! always stuck! cannot turn on! cannot MMS! cannot GPRS! not easy to install other OS! u better not to buy this damn shit phone even it cost only rm250 – rm300. trust me, u will regret.
I purchased one of these for 250, but trying to set up for my Digi sim is difficult as doing it online asks for make & model which for this is non specific… any ideas anyone

Nas,
It’s available in mobile phones shops inside popular shopping complexes in KL i.e Low Yatt Plaza, Sungei Wang etc

just bought an iPhone 3G for my mom as a birthday present. she is very happy about her new iPhone.. *
Long Dignan: Your mom’s lucky! Hopefully it’s not a mini iphone
I didnЎЇt quite get this when I first read it. But when I went through it a second time, it all became clear. Thanks for the insight.
i spent rm80 to buy it. the functions are not good. thus, it is not worth for rm200 or more. since i only bought for only rm80, so ok la.haha…
rm80? wow.. worth it i guess
Hi I’m looking for a charger for the mini iPhone I live in Australia and can’t find any shop that sells one.Does anyone know where I can find one or can I buy on line?
