Instead of waiting for SIM-lock free iPhones to arrive at their kiosks, it appears that the Koreans instead on getting their own “iPhone” out there before Apple arrives. This latest clone is called the U990 or “Viewty” and, as usual, it’s design is almost identical to the iPhone’s, but it has a bit better specifications so Apple haters can say something about the referred device.

First off, the phone sports a 5-megapixel, with Image Stabilizer, AF, camera with Schneider Kreuznach optics, a 120fps video camera, 3G HSDPA, 170MB internal memory, a 240 x 400 touchscreen and the obligatory music player.

This phone will be hitting the shelves in UK this fall, possibly to try to steal a bit of the iPhone’s thunder. Although the specifications are nice, I wouldn’t put my money in a product that was only rushed out to the market due to the demand for such a device.
