True hoax.. another ChiPhone - August 3, 2009 at 10:42am
It's a hoax or some Chinese Manufacturer made the copycat of yet another iPhone wannabe. This one really looks like the real thing. Except,
1. It lacks true Apple design when inscribing the text behind the body.
2. It said WCDMA, while the screen shows a 3G icon. WTF?!
enuff said
If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese version of an iPhone won't have wireless facilities. If that's the case, it's a real shame to have an iPhone and no wireless! Thank God, I don't live there!
Maybe no wifi 802.11x but it's definitely going have wireless facilities of at least the WCDMA sort. What I'm wondering about is the purchase price. I suspect they aren't hoping to get away with Apple-standard price margins in China. I don't know anything about the Chinese cell phone market but I'd be surprised if phones or plans cost anywhere near what is charged in the US.
Actually electronics (and I imagine other stuff) made in China cost more in China to purchase than they do elsewhere. I was in Beijing and cellphones cost more than they did in Hong Kong because China has higher taxes regarding that sort of thing.
