Leave it to the Chinese to once again, completely disrespect intellectual property. I wouldn't buy it if my life depended on it.
I would.I'm not at all willing to die for a phone!
You got to love mainland China...
Without them we wouldn't have products like:
What will they do for us next?
Without them we wouldn't have products like:
- Lead-laced painted toys
- Tainted pet food
- Conterfeit Apple devices that are sort of "Monet-esque" = Brilliantly attractive from a distance; jacked up when you see them up close!
What will they do for us next?
Man that thing is funny. I love the pixelated text under the icons on those screenshots. Very cool. lol.
for some reason it reminds me of the Russian Space Shuttle.

as many other says - this and also the prototype from gizmodo looks sooo dull. it does not remind anything of apple and previous design aesthetics
Are Chinese manufacturers trying to boost American products' image?
This clone-phone is pathetic. At the risk of sounding jingoistic, it makes me happy to be American and not Chinese. It seems like, for the time being, China is not yet capable of any impacting innovation. Even in China's universities, as I've been told by one Chinese grad student, professors routinely submit papers that duplicate other scientists' published papers with only a few altered details. No, these are not the same thing as a replication studies, which are scientifically sound.
How pathetic is a country when it has to make imitation American storefronts of American retail businesses to sell pretend American products.
By comparison, we're not a country of losers after all.

Get over it cheap knock offs and imitations exist in every country whether it be for phones or any other type of goods. I've seen street sellers in the US selling cheap fakes of phones and handbags etc, so get off your high horse.
What's up with all the racism in this thread? Not every Chinese bootlegs western products; some do it because it is very easy to do due to the high number of low cost engineers and factories in China. Some people in Mexico and Afghanistan deal drugs because they are easy to make in these areas, that doesn't mean everyone living there deals drugs. There are a lot of innovative Chinese companies: Lenovo, Hutchison (aka Three), Alibaba, Acer, ASUS, HTC, etc. Not to mention the companies co-founded by Chinese Americans like Kingston, Newegg, NVIDIA, Yahoo and YouTube.
No, it's Portuguese from Portugal (and its former colonies apart from Brazil). We don't use "registo" or "a receber" in Brazilian Portuguese...as I said, this device has been "created" in Chinese Macao.
The truncated text was a bow to the geniuses at Microsoft. Watch for a soon-to-be-released version of this phone with only four big-assed icons.
