I purchased this iPhone knock off (iFone) on ebay yesterday only becuase I was after a dual sim card mobile phone and came across it so I thought why not I can do a review on it later on when it arrives.

The only problem I came across was that I was not able to find out if this is the newest model or not as there are a few around if someone can help me on this that would be great.

Oh my I guess this might be taboo to talk about Apple knock off's

Where's brains? I thought he would have something to say about it

Terrible... TERRIBLE!!! *sobs in corner*

Sorry, but that looks like it sucks more than a 2c hooker in Sydney when the US navy is in town!

What a disgusting phone. Do not buy it.

look at the mobiles on DealExtreme, crazy range of iPhone ripoffs and alot cheaper than e(kk)Bay.

Though I still probably wouldn't waste my money...

EDIT: And they look more convincing that one (*points up)

They could have done something with the font at least!

And what's with the misleading photos showing the genuine item and the impostor on the same ad?

i wonder if people actually accidently buy these by mistake

I have had a few friends give me fake iPhones, asking me to unlock them
It's almost embarrassing having to tell them "umm, you have a fake. Look at my iPhone, then look at yours."

The only reason I am buying it now is because it takes 2 dual sim cards and they can be used at the same time on this new model and the fact it almost looks like an iPhone just so people at work see it when I pul it out and say "Oh you got an iPhone what's it like" and I would say "I don't have an iPhone I have a iFone" and so on.

It's something to look at and compare with the genuine iPhone.

It should be at my door step on Monday or Tuesday.

Success I have found the company who are making this model :- (HK)Diman Technology Co., Limited

Just an update it arrived today and from a quick look I would say you couldn't even call it an iPhone clone.

Ewww omg , that looks like my dog spewed that up.....
Id rather my OLD Nokia 3315 than that POS..( google it)

"...and boy have we patented it"

You guys don't know what you're talking about.

The P168S has two features I wish the iPhone had: Call Cent and File Mgr. I might get one as I've always wanted File Mgr. It's the best.

(Hey, it's probably better that Open Moko!)
