Can The F003 Mobile iPhone Clone Replace The Apple iPhone?
Recently I purchased a new mobile phone on eBay. I was looking for a mobile phone that could connect to a wireless network as well as having all the features of a cellular phone. After examining several contenders I focused mainly on the Flyying F003 iPhone clone from China. Since I’m not to fond of ordering from China, I found someone selling the same phone in California.
One of the main reasons I chose the F003 was the ability to access a wireless connection on the go. Since I work for a resort 3 hours from my house, I found it to be a necessity to be able to view my Google AdSense account statistics without the hassle of having to pull out my laptop or the high cost of data download available through my cellular provider.
The F003 mobile iPhone clone comes with several interesting features such as analog TV, possibility of 2 active phone numbers, video player, audio player, and best of all wifi functionality. Call me a gadget freak but I find that some of the applications are very useful when taking a 3 hour bus ride to work.

Since receiving the F003 three weeks ago I’ve been tinkering with most applications included with the F003 phone. Two of the big disappointments with the F003 iPhone clone is not being able to access Skype and the lack of support. Since I mainly use Skype for all my phone calls and the F003 has wireless functionality, I assumed Skype wouldn’t be a problem. Well it is, but I am working on solving the problem. As for the support for the F003 it’s simply non existent which could be a big problem if something happen to the operating system.
Overall the F003 mobile iPhone clone is the best iPhone clone available on the market today. Be warned that it does take some time to get use to some of the functions like connecting to a wireless connection. We have access points at the resort so it can be challenging to find and access the log in page. I will explain how to connect to different networks with the F003 in my next update.
If you know of any websites offering application downloads or support for the F003 or have an opinion concerning the F003 Mobile iPhone clone, your comments are very welcome.

i have just got one of these phones too and am saddened by the lack of skype. have u found out how to download it yet?
Hi, I’m actually working on a mod from the Apple App store version of Skype. If you come across anything that works, get back to me it’ll save me a lot of time and frustration, because lets face it other than the Skype problem it’s a damm good phone for the $$.

Hello Ruben,
If you do a Google search for flyying F003 you should find a forum that has a huge section on that Iphone clone with tips and suggestions. My suggestion is that if you are to investigate your phone OS to be careful. One bad move and the phone is pooched.
i think increase battery backup time
