If you’ve been on eBay lately, you’ve probably noticed the hundreds of fake gadgets made in China and sold here in the states. It ranges from phones to down to small things like earphones.

i bought a I68+ which is a copy of iphone 3g and its all good besides the texting thing that needs a stylus

Its getting harder and harder to tell which is fake and which is fake. Of course if you use it, you can tell right away. But from afar they all look real!

thanks for the warning. =]

im only gonna buy iphones at att stores then

what a cool phone

Pretty similar.. But some people buy fakes because it’s cheaper.

it looks the same to me …

This is why one makes sure the product one is buying is good.
