Keepin’ it real fake, part CCXXXX: HTC Hero gets iPhone flair

It’s just like the old riddle: what looks like a Hero, thinks it’s an iPhone, and does double-duty as an old-school FM handheld? Why, it’s the TVG3 — and when combined with some prototypical shanzhai flair, its (con)fusion of attributes from all over the cellphone space make this one a stunning exemplar of KIRFness. Behold! 3.2-inch touchscreen, G-sensor (aka gyroscope), dual sims, Bluetooth, WiFi, built-in TV tuner, HTC looks and an almost-iPhone UI: not bad for $130, eh? In case you won’t be in Shenzhen any time soon, you can get a closer look after the break.
