iPhone3G Mini is here!!

[wowotoe]

Except it's not made by Apple

In addition to normal Windows Mobile specs, it actually supports dual-sims.

Some websites are selling this around $100 USD. I think I might get one as a backup phone. I'm sure this one will not have the dropped calls like my original iPhone 3G.

lol. This is awesome. If I had the $100 just to blow, I'd buy it just to play around with it.

I don't understand how bad a company's design team can be that they have to copy something to the bone.

^^^ Chinese knock-offs are often copied to the bone as that's where they make the originals anyways. It's easy to copy that stuff...

Hmmm, I'm not sure I'd be happy buying a cheap iPhone imitation. Just imagine the sort of problems you might have with it:

It'd probably be cheaply made with things like
- glass that isn't flat to the bezel
- light leaks round the screen
- cracks in the body
- dust under the screen
- poor colours on the screen itself
- poor battery life

The software would probably be flaky and crash a lot

You might find you couldn't do normal phone-type things like forwarding text messages, copy/paste text, adding your own ring-tones, sending an MMS, etc

The Bluetooth would probably not work very well if it had been developed in a hurry.

And I bet you it would drop a lot of calls.

You'd be better spending a bit more money on the real thing.

Best post I've read in a long time! I love my iPhone, but I can't argue with this!! Thanks for the good laugh!

Do people actually buy this crap?

As a dual band 900/1800 MHz phone, it won't work with any carriers in North America anyway.
