The previous post preview is not about an iPhone 3G but is a fake iPhone 3G preview.
My dad went to China recently and he did not get scam from the Chinese phone dealer. He knew it’s fake and he bought back for me to try out the phone to see whether is it a good fake phone or not. After playing for 30 minutes, I got fed up and kept it back into the box and not to touch it any more. It sucks.
The phone is cheap, both the built quality and the price. It’s not very cheap but is cheaper than the real iPhone for like more than 50% (this is definitely). Dad bought it for 600RMB in Shenzhen.The phone size look the same, the box look the same, but when hands on, it’s heavier and the screen is very plastiky feeling. Another obvious difference is the smaller screen.
The fake iPhone got no 3.5mm headphone jack, it’s removed from the cover. I thought Chinese phone has a good camera but it’s just VGA quality and very sucky.
One thing very cool is that the phone come with an extra rechargable battery and the capacity is 5800mAh and it’s a big number. You can’t change iPhone battery in the real one but in this you can. Besides that, you can load 2 SIM card into a phone, so you can have two line operating at the same time. This is an common Chinese phone’s feature.
What I hate the most is the crappy and sucky software of this Chinese iPhone. It’s just a clone of real iPhone OS but their cloning work is bad, the font is ugly and the icon too is ugly.
It’s not easy to navigate around the phone, it lags and the SMS feature sucks the most. There’s a very very tiny qwerty which most probably needs a stylus but it doesn’t provide a stylus. The GPRS Internet setting is hard to configure too.
They loaded a lot of games into it but none of them works. It’s just cosmetic icons in the phone.
Overall, this thing is a bad copy and I hate it a lot. Now I hate copy, it’s better to buy a typical Chinese TV/Dual Sim/Loud Speaker phone more than a clone iPhone which doesn’t really work. What a bullsh*t. Sorry for the rudeness as I just hate it.

What do expect from a fake one? u pay less… u get less quality… life is fair… at least they are giving options for those that cant afford to buy the original one… donate it… rather than giving negative comments mate….

This phone just gives u a nutty feeling tht u own an iPhone,
Wifi would’ve bn a knock out n guys wouldn’t have to complain too much n if they replaced the so many games with better contructive applications; cheap would not b a cry foul word for the replica.
Nic, get over it coz mine sucks too but am appreciating it coz my dad din’t buy it for me. I bought it. not my dad.

So much for a clone iphone, have you tried the real one yet? Well, it sucks too, an expensive ipod to be exact. On the phone side, there is nothing much. The signal keeps dropping, SMS feature is alien looking, MMS is odd too. No video call features or video recording in 3G version. The WIFI connections is some what a mystery, you can still incur mobile data charges while using it to surf in a WIFI zone. Removing video clips, songs, and other stuff is not possible thru the phone, you have to use ITunes all the time. So, the list goes on and on. Why fret over a clone, when the real is nothing better. The so called “smart phone” is not smart at all.
