On different websites, the HiPhone have different specs. Some say it's 3.0", some say its 3.2", and some say its 3.5". But, I think I did notice a very slight difference in both phones' UIs, such as the bottom row containing 4 buttons has a different color and the music player has a different UI. For the music/video player, the UI for the HiPhone has one blue bar at the bottom with all the buttons. On the CECT S688, the UI for the player is just black and white and play, pause, fast forward, rewind, playback buttons are on the bottom and the volume buttons are at the top of the screen. However, pretty much all the functionality is the same, so I wouldn't really say that they're different in that they work the exact same way.

see this is why i was asking, we are getting the CECT S688, which when i searched on the net comes up as the HiPhone, now i have seen the same discrepancies in specs for the HiPhone, my speculation is that people are just calling different phones the HiPhone, which i think is just a rebrand name of one of the CECT phones.

The CECT S688 seems to be the most commonly associated phone for the HiPhone rebrand, and the CECT S688 has a 3.2" touch screen.

the CECT S688 seems to be thinner than 'other' HiPhones

no they have two totally different firmwares and construction. the S688 doesn't have touchflow like screen, so you can't use TWO fingers to zoom pictures. you can only press the buttons. Multitouch is useless tho, the cameras aren't decent enough to want to zoom anyways. it also has a built-in FM radio which the i32 doesn't have.

the WAP on this phone works actually, on the Hiphone i32, it doesn't work since the original firmware hasn't been updated yet and prolly never will. check out theses forums for info http://www.hiphonepro.com 75% are resending the phones to where they buy it since it lacks many applications. no games, no java and no GPRS/WAP.

however, the S688 works better so far, its pretty much like the P168+, P169, N8, M888, A8, A88+, P200 and A380i. theses all work fine.

ok thanks for clearing that up, i think we will avoid referring the S688 as the HiPhone, we will let people make their own mind up

Good decision, Raz.

The Hiphone just screams "danger" and "I'm illegitamite". I don't mind knock-offs or clones so much, but this one looks like it's just shoddily put together.

Plus, the name. :roll: What a horrible name that just acknoledges their rip-off.
