The folks at “HKC” are back on the scene with the Imobile V413 handset. This Touch-esque KIRF boasts a dual WinMo 6.1 / Android OS — and we’re not entirely sure what this means. Other HKC phones have claimed compatibility with both operating systems, and we must admit that the screenshot does look pretty legit. Compared to the for real Touch, this thing appears to have some pretty OK specs, including: a 2.8-inch touchscreen, GPS, WiFi, a 2 megapixel camera and support for audio and video playback. Well played, Imobile. Your move, HTC. available for $410, or in lots of 50 for $398 each.

Not even 24 hours after discovering the completely befuddling iFone x1 comes this, something entirely more recognizable, yet just as wrong. The iFone 3G is — so far as we can tell — the first mass produced KIRF of the iPhone 3G, and if history has anything to prove, it’ll be just the first in a long, long linage. The best part? The whole “3G” thing in the model name is not representative of actual data band support, so the best you’ll do on this heap of festering rubbish is EDGE. At the $5 to $10 range, we could definitely see picking one up for kicks and giggles, but at $178? Psssh… no thanks, poser.

Keepin’ it real fake, part CLXX: the highly confused (and confusing) iFone x1 December 6, 2008

How would you improve the XPERIA X1? If you answered, “remove the keyboard and add a mangled iPhone UI,” then the iFone x1 will be right right up your alley. Of course, this ain’t the first phony X1 we’ve seen, but it might be our fave. What can we say about this one? It appears to be running Windows CE, it quite possibly supports dual SIM cards, and it has an FM receiver (probably). Does that excite you? In the mood for a good laugh? In either case, be sure to check out the hilariously mangled translation below, and don’t forget to peep the video after the break.
