Apple? No. This is iOrange.
At least this Chinese knock-off is being utterly shameless about it. "Apple... no. This is iOrange!" Except they misspell it "iOrgane," which is just so deliriously, accidentally filthy.
Everything about this is just tops. I don't even know how to even transcribe the narration: "Eet eez zo kul writin massage wit zeengle hund!" Only better. The whole demonstration of the phone's abilities seems to be done by a freak with two right hands. And they completely fudge the accelerometer orientation switching.
WANT.

Oh my god!
That person has two right hands!
Too funny... though it's two different people, actually a man holding the device, and a woman doing most of the touching.
Surely not!
it is so cool, writing message with finger-hand!
So it's a iPhone knockoff that stokes itself with a woman's hand that comes out of your jacket? Does the hand operate more than the iPhone knockoff? Do want.
Hmm, video seems to be broken... I think this is it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddh1UU7DBdU
This fone and ekstra rite hand gonna rov you long time, sailor. Only fie dorra!
Aw, I can't get the video to work: anyone else got this problem?
Ah, looks to be a Chrome-specific issue. Never mind.
I think it may have been taken down, there was a little popup.
Yeah, I can't quite read Chinese, but those are probably the characters for "bandwidth exceeded"
The youtube vid was taken down as well :(
I think this phone is the same as the one ashens reviewed, although it comes in a different (very familiar) box and is called the A88, rather than iOrgane.

My favorite part is that the best hand model they could find has a coke nail on the pinky while the rest of their nails are trimmed.
That's not a coke nail on the pinky, it's a status thing in China. Men in high ranking positions used to cultivate long delicate finger nails to show off that they did not do manual labour. The custom continues, although now people only do it with their pinky finger.
I watched that video four times:
-first, b/c it was there
-second, to look for the two right hands
-third, to check out the male/female hands
-fourth, b/c I was wondering what the heck a "coke finger" looked like
Aaaughghg... :)
Do not want.
I always like to keep my fingernails long, which (when I was in the UK) wasn't a big deal. On moving to the US I was convinced that this was disconcerting. I kept my left hand pinky nail long, but cut the rest.
A few years later, at a pub outing, it transpired that pretty much all of my employees assumed I was a coke head...
Did anybody else notice that it's iOrgane and not iOrange?
I wonder what Orange (the french mobile network operator and Internet service provider), thinks about that rip off, they must be quite pissed, since they got the exclusivity on iPhones in France, and this add is clearly a rip off of the iPhone AND Orange. I bet you can already find those phones in Belleville, the Paris Chinatown.
Does this work on t-mobile?
@#19: Most things about TMobile don't work, so I don't see why this should be an exception...
