Well, I bought it. The seller had 15,000+ feedback with 99% positive, so I'm hopeful of at least getting it. Its also got a 12 month guarantee but, as gimpy pointed out, its probably worthless.

Still, I'm willing to take a punt on this... if it lasts me a year, I will be happy.

Its opened up a whole new world, I was totally unaware of this whole cloning shenanigans. From the little research I did today it seems practically every model worth having has been cloned. The Nokia N95 looks especially nice.

Well, the cunt arrived today in a funky looking iPhone box.

Initial impressions are good. The touch screen is far more responsive than I thought. I haven't done anything too taxing though, so no doubt in a few days i will be posting pics of its broken bits all over my floor.

But for £60 I'd get the A88 (for web browsing alone) and wouldn't really care too much if it fucked up in a year (as long as I didn't lose data).

Let us know the seller and keep us posted on good and bad features.

I know some people who bought iPhone from the states and if I am correct it was without a contract for around 400 $ or is that incorrect?

You can't buy them officially in Denmark because no companies here want to sell it with a contract which apple has to get some percentage of.

Baring in mind that it's a clone and presumably just looks like an iPhone and tries to copy the functionality (and add a bit), isn't the software as buggy as fuck? I'm guessing that Apple pumped a lot of $ into the R&D of the iPhone and I'm not inclined to trust some knock-off company that can claim to clone the hardware and software so quickly.

I could be wrong but I'd expect it to look very pretty but be about as user friendly as a peeled cock dipped in salt.

Overall, i'm really happy with it. There are 2 versions out there wourth getting. The A88 and the Hiphone. The Hiphone has the ability to mimic the tilt function (turn it on its side and the image changes AR) and the ability to scale images with your fingers, but its apparently buggy. The A88 is a lot more stable but lacks those 2 features.





::edit 4 months later - Hah!
