Can't see apple being happy about this product, blatant rip-off!

EDIT: and the advert was from this forum!

I'm looking at an advert for it now, it really does look like the iphone 4. Don't think I would buy one though - I'd rather have the real thing!

A chinese kirf. I dont think Apple can do much about these as the market out there is all about copying higher end handsets. I think its cool to see how close they get to the real thing even though the phones themselves are absolutely atrocious

But does it drop calls like the original? These days it could even be made in the same factory somewhere in China

I suppose they are a modern day version of the "Rolex" copys in the 80s, i could imagine Dell Boy "Down the boozer" flashing one of these about at the bar LOL

Yeah if Only Fools and Horses was still going now Del Boy'd probably be flogging these kinds of devices.

I've seen fakes like this of Sony Ericsson too.

Really if you're skint go for a Samsung or some cheaper branded model. There's alot of half decent Iphone alternatives so it's always best to go with a reputable brand and from a shop.
