Does Apple IPhone got a new Foster Sibling in China???


We Indians definitely don't believe in less of Chinese. We love Chinese food and Chinese gadgets, especially Chinese phones.

They have got touch screens, cameras, bluetooths, FM and televsions. And what's more, these hot phones are a steal at Rs 4,000.

But there is a catch. They often come with a sneaky surprise!

The camera stops working within days, the voice isn't clear and the shop refuses to exchange or repair it for these phones come with no guarantees.

They are unknown brands with unknown quality, so if the screen conks off or the batteries explode - grin and bear it.

And their radiation levels are high which is very harmful for men especially for it can affects their virility.

There's more. Every phone is branded with an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, but Chinese phones have fake IMEI's.

National President Indian Cellular Association, Pankaj Mohindroo says, "It's simply like a car without a number plate. It has no identity and no parentage."

So besides being unreliable, these phones are also illegal.




A Chinese company has developed a phone which has an uncanny resemblance with Apple’s iPod-mobile phone combo. Talk about coincidental inspiration!

The phone includes a 16:9 screen, a 3.2 inch LCD and 1.3MP camera. A 256MTF card is bundled along with an expansion slot for more storage. And as though this wasn’t enough, the Chinese phone also features a touchscreen…what a coincidence once again!

But interestingly the Chinese handset includes the ability to use 2 SIM cards simultaneously without requiring to switch the phone on and off.

The phone comes pre-loaded with the “Double Dragon in Tang Dynasty” game.

The iPhone’s foster Chinese sibling is available via Light in the Box for $199.67. And yes, it’s “NOT FOR SALE” in the US and Canada.

Does it really make a difference!?
