Beware the knock-offs

[Mitchell Andrus]

There is a new fake iphone coming from China that looks like the real thing. From Applemedics:

As always, be careful when buying electronics this season.

One should really only buy an iPhone from either Apple or ATT...that will insure that you don't get sucker punched by a scammer.

[Dennis McGarry]

That is old.

They are actually called the I9 3g, (not a 3g phone) they are a dual sim, completely unlocked phone.

Looks like a iphone, will even us any iphone cases.

They are often sold on cl for around 100.00 Manufactured in china, and imported. Cect i9 3g There are other versions as well, one with the tilt and shake to navigate menus, one with a camera.

i actually had one, worked good for a phone media player. Dual sims was nice, two different networks could be on one phone. Little fun phone to mess aroud with, runs java and can load just about any mobile java app.

Oh and atleast around here, the ones that sell them, make it very clear in their ad's it is not a Iphone. Just looks like it, ghost shift in the same factory most likly.
