Hi, been looking round for a new mobile phone for my wife for xmas as she mentioned that her's was not working properly and she liked the Apple iPhone.

So have been pricing some up and noticed there is a mini iPhone that you can get at a reasonable price.

Are these any good and are they worth buying?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

They are just Chinese fakes. Ive seen and used one. Load of rubbish, as you would expect.

This clearly a foreign rip off, and would shoddy as anything. I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, let alone my fingers.

Look for Dr. Ashens on YouTube and I'm sure he will have reviewed one of these horrible things in action. I've seen the HiPhone one and I expect that this would be exactly the same lol.

Yes, Ashens has reviewed the A68 one that is on there. Would love to see the TV one in action though

What gives you the right to say that?

OP is clearly just enquiring about something he doesnt know about which seemed cheap.

If someone mentioned £60 and iPhone in the same sentence it would get my attention! Although I would be suspicious

Apart from the ,simply because its an Xmas present for his wife and he thinks he can get her an Iphone for only £60, a present she really wants,must think a real lot about her or is simply a tight wad

My next door neighbours son has one off ebay and its pure carp

Hello,
I would recommend the PinPhone 3GS.
I have one myself, they are excellent mobiles. 3.5" Capacitive Touch Screen (same as iPhone 3gs) and 2MP camera (same as iPhone 3G).
They go for around £110 on ebay coming from Canda. They're brilliant phones, 1:1 of Apple's.

i like the look of that pinphone actually. although to be fair, i did watch a video on youtube and the phone OS did seem a teeny bit sluggish compared to the iphone.

still, a good price if you're willing to accept a clone ..
