China-made cheap imitations of famous brands of cellphones, having a host of features, are the latest entrant in the city markets that have caught the fancy of youth as well as elders having budgeted income.

These imitates are not only cheap but have similar-sounding names like the famous brands and boasts of having extra features including facility of using double SIM, extra loud speakers and stylus use even with low-end mobile phones beginning at around Rs 2,500″Most of us have now started selling these imitation cellphones since all the major brands have their own showrooms. People would come to us only if they get something fancy, imported and at cheap rates," said a mobile phone dealer at Landa Bazar who didn't want to reveal his identity. Anil, another mobile phone dealer, claimed that he sells 10 to 12 Chinese mobile phones a day and yet there was an unending demand from customers who wanted fully-loaded phones for less than Rs 5,000.

iPhone, and now iClone knockoffs hit shops

IPHONE CLONE AVAILABLE AT-: www.shoguru.com

Excitement about the Apple iPhone and similar high-end mobile phones has created a secondary market for less expensive Chinese knockoffs in the UAE.
Stores in Dubai’s central business districts of Deira and Bur Dubai are stocking up on the Chinese clones, which include imitations of other famous brands including Sony Ericsson and Nokia.
The number of phones imported into the country from China is unknown, but importers and shopkeepers said the demand for the knockoffs has been high and has created a boom for smaller mobile phone retailers.
“We ran out of our Chinese iPhones in the first week. We had imported 10 containers, each measuring 20 feet, and now we are planning to import more,” said Yu Chen, manager of Star Phones World, which distributes several brands of Chinese made phones.
“Most buyers are fascinated by a cheaper version of Apple’s popular iPhone,” added Chen.
The iPhone clones available in the UAE come in three different brands and are around six times cheaper than the original Apple product, which has yet to be officially launched in the UAE but can be found in some shops. A Desay N8, which is very similar to an iPhone in physical appearance and features, goes for Dh500 compared to Dh3,000 for the Apple version.
Other phones that are designed to look like the iPhone include the M888, ip2000 and A380. There are also several clones for the new Nokia phones such at the E90 Nokia communicator, the N95, N93 and N70.
While the Chinese imitations are very similar in appearance to the genuine brands, with touch screens and high-resolution cameras, none of them have Wi-Fi for wireless internet and GPS, which are popular functions in most of the latest mobiles.
They do, however, have a number of extra features that appeal to buyers, such as double SIM card slots and TV functions.
Suresh N, owner of Bahar Enterprises, a phone retail and wholesale store in Deira, said sales have gone up by 20 per cent since he started selling the imported Chinese phones early this month.
“The demand for the Chinese phones is high compared to other types of phones. We have decided to replace our stock with only Chinese phones because that is where the money is right now,” said Suresh.
He added that his company’s monthly turnover had risen from an estimated Dh140,000 to about Dh160,000 so far this month with the Chinese phones flying off the shelves. According to Suresh, the Chinese phones are also being reexported from the UAE to developing countries in Africa and Asia.
Hanan Mada, a 32-year-old receptionist in Dubai, said she was among the first people to buy an iPhone clone when it came onto the market. “I have always wanted to own an iPhone but the price was just too much for me. I am happy with a Chinese version because it has all the features I need.”
Besides producing replica versions of existing popular brands, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have come up with their own concept phones. Some of the popular new Chinese phones currently on sale in Dubai, such as the DV007 and DCS1800, feature a TV function that allows users to watch any free to air television channel in their areas of use. Another popular model, the M800, is a wristwatch and a phone, with a 1.3 mega pixel camera and features such as an MP3 player, GPRS, FM radio, Bluetooth, memory card slot and 60MB internal memory.
Meanwhile, retailers of the genuine products did not seem worried by the competition. A manager at an electronics retail store in Dubai that sells Apple-manufactured iPhones predicted the invasion of the cheaper Chinese phones would not affect sales of original due to the difference in quality.
“A cheap item will always be cheap. Our customers are people who look for quality and they know that Chinese clones do not represent quality,” said the manager who did not want to be named.
He added the Chinese iPhones have helped to promote the iPhone concept and may even push sales higher.
Official distributors of genuine Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung brands at Axiom Telecom and Cellucom also agreed that imitations would not affect their sales. “Many people trust us because we provide warranties on our products unlike retailers for the cheap Chinese clones,” said Shihab Kamal, a retail manager at Axiom Telecoms in Deira.
Officials from Arab Business Machine (ABM), the official distributors of Apple iPhones in the UAE, declined to comment

Mobile Broadband: Do We Need Another Technology War?

Industry watchers love nothing more than a good old technology war. In the past, we've had Token Ring versus Ethernet, GSM versus CDMA and DECT versus CT2. Now, a new technology debate is brewing between HSPA and WiMAX for dominance in the emerging mobile broadband market. But such battles are rarely just about technology, and the mobile broadband debate is no exception.
The GSM world has seen it all before. Over the years, industry commentators have questioned whether investment in GSM-based 3G technology is worthwhile and wondered whether a succession of alternative technologies would render GSM/WCDMA obsolete. In the meantime, GSM/WCDMA operators have been steadily building their 3G businesses – rolling out networks, adding subscribers and delivering ever-enhanced functionality.
Today, the latest commercial releases of HSPA radio networks support download speeds of up to 14.4Mbps – more than a match for most fixed-broadband connections – and they are set to become even faster. GSM/WCDMA radio networks are continuing to evolve to meet growing user demand for mobile-broadband services, through further enhancements in the downlink and uplink, and on to Long Term Evolution.
The performance of HSPA and Mobile WiMAX technologies is comparable. Both technologies offer similar peak data rates, spectral efficiency and network complexity. However, Mobile WiMAX requires more cell sites to offer the same coverage and capacity as HSPA. A major hurdle for WiMAX operators will be to overcome the initial high capital expenditure of the radio access network.
HSPA is built on the firm foundation of the 3GPP family of standards, and the scale operators get through the established 3G ecosystem makes it very cost-efficient. HSPA can be built out using the existing GSM radio network sites and is a software upgrade of the installed WCDMA networks. Since HSPA devices are also backward compatible with WCDMA and GSM it means users can get nationwide coverage from day one.
By being pitched as a "data play" technology, with voice supported by other radio technologies, WiMAX is perceived as not having to meet regulatory requirements. However, the trend is towards more regulation of VoIP services, especially in areas such as caller ID and location provision for emergency services. WiMAX is unlikely to be exempt from regulatory requirements in the longer term.
HSPA also provides global roaming over GSM/WCDMA networks, as well as wide area coverage within many countries. WCDMA has passed the 150 million subscriber mark and is growing at a rate of 6 million per month. Since Ericsson rolled out the first commercial HSPA system in 2004, more than 150 operators in around 70 countries have launched commercial HSPA services – including major mobile operators such as AT&T, Telstra, T-Mobile and Vodafone.
The Global mobile Suppliers Association reports that HSPA services are commercially available in eight countries in the Americas, 13 countries in Asia Pacific, nine countries in the Middle East/Africa, and 38 countries in Europe. HSPA is commercially available today in 26 of the 27 countries that comprise the European Union.
Juniper Research expects there to be about 1.8 billion broadband subscribers globally by 2012, with about 1.2 billion on mobile networks – with WCDMA/HSPA accounting for nearly 70 percent of mobile-broadband subscribers.
HSPA offers excellent mobility from day one, with over 300 HSPA-enabled devices available on the market – including PC cards, USB modems and modules, laptops with integrated HSPA modules, Fixed Wireless Terminals (wireless routers), phones, PDAs and media players. HSPA terminals have fallback toGSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA, and embedded modems will be available in early 2008.
While WiMAX-certified products were likely to be embedded in notebooks and PC cards during 2007, WiMAX-enabled phones will not appear on the market until 2008. It will be difficult for WiMAX handsets to match the volume and cost structure of current mobile phones – especially as the handsets cross multiple frequencies, meaning multiple radios for roaming. Industry analyst Gartner forecasts that worldwide sales of WiMAX-enabled phones as a proportion of total mobile-phone sales will remain extremely low (below one per cent), at least until 2010.
Deploying any type of cellular system incurs capital costs, no matter which technology is deployed. Because the core network behind WCDMA/HSPA is the same as for GSM, a lot of the investment has already been made. GSM/WCDMA infrastructure is already serving more than 2.5 billion subscribers worldwide – delivering tremendous economies of scale.
There is sometimes a misunderstanding that the WiMAX technology is free from Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues.
In GSM the setting of reasonable accumulated IPR costs has led to a global market with hundreds of chipset and handset vendors. More than 800 million handsets were sold during 2006. By reaching similar IPR agreements in WCDMA/HSPA, products can be offered to customers with very low IPR costs. We believe the same reasonable accumulated rates – at a moderate single-digit level – should also apply to new players in the HSPA and WiMAX arenas.
For WiMAX, it has yet to be seen which players will win large market share, and so their IPR costs are unknown. However, it is unlikely that IPR will provide any differentiator between HSPA and WiMAX.
The unprecedented demand for WCDMA/HSPA means additional radio spectrum is going to be critical. It is estimated that by 2010 more traffic will be generated by data services than by voice in mobile networks, yet until about 2015, the only additional internationally agreed spectrum identified for 3G technologies is the IMT-2000 extension band, being 2500-2690 MHz. When allocating new spectrum it will be important to ensure that licensees can leverage on technologies with economies of scale. This will create the right conditions for the licensees to offer affordable broadband services based on a low total cost of ownership for the network and devices.
Ericsson sees HSPA and HSPA Evolved, with downlink speeds of 42Mbps and uplink speeds of 12Mbps, as the natural mobile-broadband technology choice for the near future, with LTE just around the corner to bring us new levels of performance. Technology choices made today will influence operations for many years to come, so while it remains to be seen if WiMAX can offer a viable business case, building on existing HSPA networks represents the fastest way to deliver mobile broadband to the masses.
