Shanzhai we like: Sciphone Dream G2, the cheap Google Android phone

Oh look! While we're still waiting for anything besides a rumor that the HTC Magic (G2) Android phone will come to China, Sciphone's released their version: the Dream G2. It's here and, at only 750~800RMB, even cheaper than we originally thought it would be.

You laugh, but the Dream G2 actually sounds like a decent phone - especially for the price. It uses the Google Android UI, packs a 208MHZ ARM9 core processor, a 2.9-inch touch screen, built-in Opera web browser, 2mp camera and FM radio. It even claims to have Wi-Fi, which we thought was illegal for phones around here!

We have no idea how well it works, though we're actually tempted to take it out for a spin if it has half the features it says it has.
