iPhone Duplicate..?  

Here in South America too. There lots and lots of them.
They have some features as the real i phone. Some have analog tv, a kind of windows mobile. I dont know they are just horrible. They last few months.
Worst thing is that people buy these just because the price.

Saddly that sounds so typicle. I mean really what is this world coming too? Of course I'm suprised I hadn't herd of this before now. Quite frankly this sounds like something some idiot would wip up in their heads. But, of course I don't feel that the Iphone is all that great, it sounds like this might actually be an improvement dispite being made from cheep material.

It is not surprising. It seems that there is a cheaper version of almost anything nowadays. I’ve seen IPod knock offs too; they work but not as well, or for as long, but they are a fraction of the original’s price. I suppose people who buy cheap copies cannot expect the quality of the original product. It is illegal to sell such items in my country but if one goes to the local markets, they are sold almost everywhere so...Go figure. Personally I rather save up for the real thing!

Imitations of a successful product are not a problem-They can usually be identified easily as not being the original,and they cost much less,so can be seen to be a bargain by shoppers and people who like to have the latest thing,but don't want to pay full price for the real thing.The rule of the marketplace,"Buyer Beware!" must be taken seriously-you may get a product that will work properly,and you may not,but repairs and a guarantee are some things you don't usually get with them..Counterfeit goods are a different thing..They are being sold as the Original Item,are branded the same way,may be boxed the same way,or "Sold without Packaging"..Assuming it does work correctly,if you try to contact the Brand Name Manufacturer,you have no course of action to take if there is a problem.The only thing you can do is bear in mind when shopping for something like this,that if something seems too good to be true,it usually isn't..

by a brief looking u can easily notice the huge difference.
those rabbish duplicate iphones are everywhere in the market.

Hi balacancer22,

There will always be cheap knock offs of well known brands but they are easy to spot in most cases. I have never seen one of these iphone duplicates but I sure would out of curiosity. I think the names are quite humorous though.

All I will say is I was very disappointed when I unpacked my new MP3 player and found it to be a Phony Walkman!

Yeah, I've seen this duplicates, too. They are just awful. Nothings like the original, they are just cheap imitations. There are 100 models on the market like the iPhone, but a few are like the original one itself and they are even more expensive even and that's just idiotic. I do not think there is a better cell phone than the iPhone. It has specific features and cool gadgets and the Application store is just awesome.It requires a lot of resources and money to make something like that and noone in near future could make something so unique and powerful technology, but I do hope there will be better than the iPhone. :)
