Because It's cheaper?
Here in the Philippines, there are a lot of establishments and booths that sell cloned cellphones, iPods, Mp3 and many other electronic gadgets..Some are "brand new" and some are what they call "reconditioned", which means not all parts are new or some parts came from other broken phones. Just like assembling a phone with parts which are not of good quality. Therefor, it can and will malfunction in just a few months or even weeks..
They look the same, cheaper and some with added features that can't be seen in original brands..The problem is, when it breaks or malfunctions, you either just throw it away, buy a new one, or have the parts replaced - if it's available..
If one cannot afford to buy a brand new original cell phone, or even a second hand original phone, for some people, cloned ones will do..They take the risk..
Would you buy a cloned gadget even though you know the risks?

I personally don't like second hand or brand that are not good in quality.I know it much cheaper but it never last long.I would prefer to have an expensive ones that would last longer than having the cheaper ones and we keep buying because it easily broke.I know it depends on how we take care of it but still having the good quality ones are nicer.

Hi eihdra,
[i]I have not tried but if ever that is only what I can afford for the moment, I will take it, I have a lot of friends who are using it and so far, it lasts to them...But, it is advisable still to save and wain until you are ready to get the brand new!
A lot of assurance that it will last longer![/i]
