Samsung Omnia - Same as iPhone Girl!!!

Did a restore on my new Samsung Omnia and there was a "deleted" pic on it - looks like the Samsung factory and you can see a lot of new Omnias at the bottom of the pic (quality has been changed so that it could be uploaded to the site).
Not as glamerous as the iPhone girl pic though :)

Does make you wonder about other phones though when you get them - what is actually on the phone memory already?

The going rate for electronics assembly labor in China is about $4 an hour, and that's a pretty high paying job for millions of people away from the cities.

Girls are actually lucky to be alive to work, since million(s) are killed each year due to families wanting boys. (The government now realizes that decades of one-child families has led, among other things, to a huge shortage of women.)

Why we deal with China and India, the two largest female infanticide societies in the world, is beyond me.

Clearly you've never stepped foot in China. I've been here for nine months now (from So.Cali) and it's nothing like what you've just said. Please re-think how the world works in today's age.
 
This seems like a hoax, but assuming it's real...

Those who suggest that the girl will be fired forget that this is China. If she is lucky, she will avoid a bullet to the back of the head and will instead be sent to "re-education camp" for a number of years so she can learn to suppress her individuality. That smile will be long gone by the time she re-emerges.
 
I also want to mention to all those who find her cute or otherwise attractive... There are so many Chinese girls in this world that it is extremely easy to find a cure for your Yellow Fever. Very true, I've been in Qingdao China for 9 months now and there are Cute girls Everywhere (close to Shenzhen, by plane @ least. Been there a few times). But I was living in Hollywood, CA so I'm used to that :)

Finally, I want to say that she looks ~ 20 y/o to me and that Shenzhen is a modern city. I agree, somewhere around 20 is my guess.

I was talking to my (Chinese) roommate about this today. She told me she heard/read it on the news, it said she wasn't going to be fired (old news by now I'm sure).

I find it funny that people post that she'll be killed for this.. Though I somewhat see why they'd say it.
 
I hope "fired" is the worst of it. We're not talking about the US...and she's a girl. Their reaction could be much worse, but hopefully won't due to the attention she's getting. But then again...attention didn't stop the government in Tianamen Square.
 
I must confess that the only reason I'm still here is to see genius post like this...

Unfortunately, she's dead. she didn't avoid an arrow to the back of her head.This is CHINA, remeber?
 
Iphone girl

I would like her to come to America if she is at least 18, I think she looks like a nice person. Come hang out with me and my friends iphone girl.
 
anyone else see how young she is!! Aren't Americans great; we don't care if we get a cool product as long as we don't have to think about the people who make them. :mad:
What?! :confused:

Even if she is 16, what's wrong with that? She seems to be enjoying herself, and is working in a safe environment. Maybe she applied for this job, and was happy when she got it? Plenty of Americans can (and often want to) get jobs at the age of 16 or younger.

You can't assume that just because she has a job at the age of 16 that she's being mistreated or anything. :rolleyes:
 
You are so ignorant

Are you some clown?

I'd rather be Iphone Girl than to be a black kid born into poverty in L.A. Don't forget, white folks kill blk ppl there by hanging their nuts on tree's...i think they call that Lynching.

If you think my perception is ridiculous, than please rethink and modernize your thoughts of China. I've been there, it's nothing like what you described. Moron!!!
 
Wow, such great hatered of China all of a sudden, I hope it's not Olympic related. I thought this thread was about the iPhone Girl :D also nice clip of Evonne
 
Can I get the actual full quality pic; I'll put it on my iphone and sell it on ebay as genuine !!!:p Lets see how much I fetch. Any initial bids? starts at $999

I can't believe how ppl pay for such things. Once I was trying to get rid of a satellite receiver model 2700 of dish network and was expecting around $10-15 and guess what! The bid went up to 350$'s. Got me to think, there must be something special about the receiver I'm selling, so I canceled the bid and did my research.

Later on I found out that the receiver is crackable and I decided to sell it few months down and I got no bids !:mad: figures, that the model 2700 cannot be used any more..

darn ! should have stepped on that moment.
besides the point I still have the 2700 if anyone wants !!!!:p
 
I am Hot 4 Iphone girl

Come to America Iphone Girl, I will write a song about you, please come to America so I can sing it to you.
 
I mean the whole thing is just way too contrived.

I hate to break it to everyone, but you have been had.

Even if we've been had or it is contrived, it is a nice way of doing so. Nice face, nice and a happy natural smile isn't an offence to me even if it is done for marketing. IF it is a model, she certainly isn't too stressed of it like normal vanity models.

Good for Foxconn and good for Apple as long as they keep it good.

BTW: How do you suspect any bloke planning advertising would figure out such a masterplan to get this amount of publicity? Who could foretell something nice like this would right now get this publicity? How would it be done even as aftermaths?
 
Since this story has clearly run it's course ... what on Earth could this thread be about anymore?

I'm not a big "lock this thread" kind of guy ... but, this story has passed into oblivion, made the trip to Digg and back and picked up some mainstream coverage even. I think it's been fully "discussed".

Other than off-topic chatter, I just can't see what else can be discussed here. Just my two cents.
 
Man I cannot believe this has made me sign up here and I do not have a Iphone……
OK, My first post hope I get it correct…

I do not think that this topic has run it course for a long shot, remember this is where it all started. Locking it will be crazy and not suitable.

I first saw this news on yahoo, and I cannot believe that this has gotten this far out.
The girl is very gorgeous and the story to how this all came about is very present and an interesting read.

Always you get a product and it will say that it was “Made in China” or some foreign country but to see a face to this name give a hole different perspective on things and to see such a pretty girl to and the place it was made is a one in a lifetime experience.

Now looking the pictures and the story I can see how the girl captured the hearts and minds of so many people, even me. And this sudden fame must be overpowering for her.

“markm49uk” I am sure the girl wants to kill you for posting the pics on the net hehe ;) But at the time it did not seem it would get this far out of hand.

Even this has been said and said many time there are still room for saying it ;)

From what I can imagine she will keep her job, as she is not the one in trouble. The person that was supposed to clean the memory and make sure the phone is suitable for shipping will be the one in trouble.

Then all this talk about it being fake, I do not think it is, remember the phone is brand new, never been used and in a area that is clean from dust and the camera lens will clear are crystal, so the image will be high quality, also they know how the phone works and using the best quality setting they can.. Light in the area looks good for taking pics.

I do hope that this girl is OK and she is coping well and not in trouble, Saying that, I think we all need to tally up and try to encourage this girl to post on these forms to tell us that she is well and to put an end to the ruomers if she got fired or not and for us to show our understanding and support. Even if she is unable to type English (I think she can by the nature of her job) then she can post in Chinese and have someone translate it. Also translating this post into Chinese might encourage her, if she is reading this. I would, if this happened to me.

Such a lovely thing to read and stumble upon with all that is happening in the world this is a great break from it all.

I do hope that people can keep this form political free too; there is a place for that.

And china is a great place, been there a few times, but little high on pollution.

So lets all get this girl to post something!!!!! Come one!!!!!
