Hi all, I have a Sciphone i9+++ (cheap iphone clone) that I would like to talk with my arduino and am wondering the best method to go about it.

Could I just get a USB host shield and connect the phones cable
or I have the pinout for the phones usb cable can I go straight to the arduino.

I know when the usb is plugged into the pc I can use the camera as a web cam and access the micro sd and various other things. I would like to try use it to send sms and maybe use the webcam.

Would appreciate any advice.

The host shield sounds like a winner.

It may save some coding if the phone has bluetooth
