The fake iphone By jan Gray


I don’t know about you but I really, really hate my phone. It looks terrible with canyons of paint carved out of it, the person on the other end is always yelling “what!?” because they can’t understand a damn word i'm saying, and my 3,6, and power button don't work anymore. This means if my phone ever ran out of battery I would no longer have a phone.
I hate how people make fun of me so I want to show off my next phone without spending a boatload of money because I’m a cheap bastard (much like the rest of you). So the solution is the fake I phone.
The phones are able to be purchased on several websites that import goods to the United States directly from China. China’s economy is in its heyday and their electronic manufacturing industry couldn’t be better. In fact, the very iphone itself, the real apple version, is manufactured in none other than China. So if these phones are literally made down the street what’s the real difference.
First off the fake iphone actually has more features than the real one. The first main difference is the ability to remove the battery. This has been a problem with the iPod for years. The thing freezes up and your left virtually stranded with no music to listen to until a power source is plugged into the pod physically. The iphone did not touch on this subject at all, leaving a fixed battery.
Another difference is the fake iphone’s ability to be run on multiple networks. This means that you do not have to sign up for a plan with Cingular. You can use any network with a sim-card. T-mobile claims to have the cheapest internet rates at literally half the price of what Cingular is charging. T-Mobile also claims to help you up with the set up process, something that many people have complained about in the blogosphere.
The main difference is the price. The iphone, even with the price reduction is still a $400 piece of hardware let alone the Cingular charges. The fake iphone range from about $100-$200.
Here are some links where you can buy it:
