I highly doubt that. Plus no WiFi, 3G, iTunes Store, free use of WiFI networks, unlimited data.

The iphone doesn't have 3G ... Also you repeated the point of WIFI twice. Not all WIFI spots are free anyways. (Most are, yes I know)

Also the iphone itself doesn't come with unlimited data, that's the plan. If I were to get an unlocked iphone and bring it to Canada, I'm sure as hell that i wouldn't get an untl data plan.

Poor argument on your half :/

I know I listed WiFi twice. And I know the iPhone doesn't do 3G. Fact is, you might be paying less but your getting an inferior product, no support, no software updates, no build quality. Its twice as thick as an iPhone. Oh wait, you do get 2 batteries and a memory card (how much can you fit on 512MB?) and it can use two SIMS. Woopeee!

Yeah...so? I don't think anyone here is even trying to imply that it's an "iphone killer" in any regard, you get what you pay for and in this case of course it's going to be inferior in some respects, but for what you're paying, it's a bloody impressive device.

I think it will only be an impressive device if it was designed by someone from the ground up and not a rip off of someone else's hard work.

I doubt this phone can hold up to the original version. My iphone looks somewhat pretty scratched up on the back and still not a mark on my screen. I can see the screen going out after a few drops with this phone.

Its pretty common with all unbranded Chinese phones. I have two of them which I bought dirt cheap for like 40 quid each, under the brand of trend mobile and after just one drop their screen was cracked and blank. The nokia n80, which I have been using for 2 years now has slipped from my hand more than 10 times, of which IIRC 5 times was on a marble floor, twice on the road and once it hit a metal fence, even then no harm done either to the screen or the camera.

Yeah but it doesn't do Next-G, so I still can't get it :p lol

How much ram do you rekon's built in? 256mb? 512mb? :p

You don't need NextG for MMS mate. It works over the GSM networks in Australia too....

It looks like the real thing but as it lacks anything to do with Apple it makes the original iPhone look like a bargain.

How does it lack anything to do with Apple? It looks like the iPhone and when it boots up it shows the Apple logo.

Because the amount of detail they've went into is staggaring, plus they've actually went out on a limb and added a few features that the iPhone didn't support (such as dual sim). It may be a complete imitation, but for that price you'd be hard pushed to find an equivalent phone in the west, iphone or not.

^its not that bad.

but buying Chinese stuff is bad :p

Dude I dare say that 80% of the electronics in your house were probably manufactured in China...

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
