WTF is this? http://iphone-buy.com/index.php > WTF is this? > > http://iphone-buy.com/index.php It's been around for a while.

WTF operating system is it running? Did I see a very brief glimpse of the Windows rolling hills desktop screen? If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. Come on, this has got to be more hype than not. You can do better, can't you? Or do I have to spend $195 to find out? >>>WTF is this? >>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Or do I have to spend $195 to find out?

Did I see a very brief glimpse of > the Windows rolling hills desktop screen? Good question- these phones turn up on eBay quite a bit from offshore resellers, generally with very vague specs. Some claim they run WinMo, but from the screenshots it looks like they simply lifted some WinMo wallpaper- the rest of the shots don't seem to be WinMo based-, nor is Office Mobile or Exchange support listed as features. It looks like another "CECT-168" model of iPhoney clone. > If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it > doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. Why? It seemingly lacks installable apps, iTunes support, or multitouch - it looks like a pretty typical feature phone with a ripped-off UI. Geeks.com is currently hawking a media player for $80 that ripped off the iPhone/iPod Touch UI. A touchscreen and iPhony icons hardly makes it a direct replacement! > Come on, this has got to be more hype than not. You can do better, > can't you? > > Or do I have to spend $195 to find out? Find out what? You've bought a cheap Chinese knockoff like the cheaply- constructed $50 "Nano-style" MP3/video players eBay is full of? >> > > WTF is this? >> > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >It looks like another "CECT-168" model of iPhoney clone. The CECT-168 is tri-band, this one looks like quad-band. IIRC, CECT-168 is running some bastardized version of Linux. >> If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it >> doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. > >Why?

Details on all of these iPhoneys are sketchy. The original CECT-168 was tri-band, but I think a quad-band model was eventually released (or else the eBay sellers just lied about it- either seems a likely possibility!) I noticed this "iClone" didn't mention 3G anywhere on the web page. I suspect this web seller knows as little about the phone's specs as we do! ;-) > > If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it > > doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. > > Why?

I stand behind what I said: if all you can come up with is "yeah, but it doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. I was amazed that the VERY FIRST fanboi comment was "yeah, but it doesn't have WiFi". I mean, good God, that can't be ALL it's lacking....either that, or it truly is an iPhone killer. >>> If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it >>> doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > doesn't have WiFi". I mean, good God, that can't be ALL it's > lacking....either that, or it truly is an iPhone killer. Wi-Fi is a no-compromise requirement for a smart-phone. That's why it was my first comment. It's the first thing I look for on all iPhone competitors. >>> WTF is this? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > If all the iPhone apologist fanbois can come up with is "yeah, but it > doesn't have WiFi," then you've lost. LOL, the last thing I am is an iPhone apologist, but Wi-Fi is a critical feature of a smart-phone if you plan on using the web where there is no 3G, but that has Wi-Fi (like tens of thousands of hotels and motels around the world). I'm waiting for the new HTC which is due out in a week or so on Sprint, and by December on Verizon. It's much more fully featured than the iPhone. >LOL, the last thing I am is an iPhone apologist, but Wi-Fi is a critical >feature of a smart-phone if you plan on using the web where there is no >3G, but that has Wi-Fi (like tens of thousands of hotels and motels >around the world). This device doesn't even have 3G support. OBVIOUSLY a scam. It says ´Works on all carriers!´ Yeah like it works on Verizon and T-Mobile. Get Real. Now Go Away. >> WTF is this? >> >> http://iphone-buy.com/index.php > >It's been around for a while. No Wi-Fi.

Well..it could be CDMA as TDMA won't work with CDMA. Just an off hand comment. > OBVIOUSLY a scam. > > It says ´Works on all carriers!´ If you read their FAQ they qualify it to "all GSM carriers" and specifically state it won't work on CDMA carriers like Verizon. > Yeah like it works on Verizon and T-Mobile. Get Real. Um, T-Mo is GSM- it'll work with them fine. I think you meant "Verizon and Sprint." > Now Go Away. Don't be so quick to dismiss it- it's in the price range of what you wanted to spend on an iPhone but AT&T won't allow you! ;-) top posting fixed > >> WTF is this? > >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Now Go Away. You know, whenever someone cops an attitude like your "Now Go Away" comment, it's obvious--that person is upset by the content of the discussion for some reason. Why would you be upset at the content of the discussion? Why do you feel threatened by someone discussing this? >top posting fixed > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >comment, it's obvious--that person is upset by the content of the >discussion for some reason. Sure because its such a scam phone. > >You know, whenever someone cops an attitude like your "Now Go Away" > >comment, it's obvious--that person is upset by the content of the > >discussion for some reason. > > Sure because its such a scam phone. So it's "just DON'T DISCUSS IT!" for a response? As opposed to bringing it entirely to light for everyone to see all of what it is and isn't? No, whenever someone feels threatened by something, it seems he sticks his head in the sand and/or puts his hands over his ears and yells LALALALALALA so that he can't hear what he doesn't want to hear. If this thing is a piece of junk, reveal that to the world. But "Now Go Away" is the response of someone fearful that it's not a piece of junk, and that his devotion to the iPhone will be revealed as the silliness that it is. I say the same thing about the KKK marches: let 'em march, and show the world who and what they are. That's far, far better than beating them down and making them keep to themselves in private, where you can't see what they're doing and hear what they're talking about. >>> You know, whenever someone cops an attitude like your "Now Go Away" >>> comment, it's obvious--that person is upset by the content of the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > As opposed to bringing it entirely to light for everyone to see all of > what it is and isn't? You need to keep up. It's been discussed extensively here. The CECT phones have been out for at least a year. There have been quad band and tri-band, and tri-band marketed as quad band. > WTF is this? > > http://iphone-buy.com/index.php Dunno but may explain rumors of Jobs' indigestion. > WTF is this? > > http://iphone-buy.com/index.php http://www.wired.com/gadgets/wireless/multimedia/2007/12/gallery_iclones http://www.popsci.com/iclone Why do I suspect this to appear on the Eastern District of Texas Federal Court docket for patent infringement.

It's almost as if they think the Illuminati's New World Order has already taken over and the East Texas Federal Court had any effect on a company in Shanghai....(c; Why didn't Apple sue in Cupertino? Was the judge laughing too hard? |
