It is now out on a Chinese website, list of wholesalers selling, who's game enough to try?

These are knock offs, hence changing title.

Fashion police won't notice! lol.

Considering it doesn't start shipping til June I'd be wary...

Oh and look at all those dual SIM "N97"'s ;)

after going through the list I think it's all knockoffs one OEM one is quite expensive but still I doubt the originality.

Oops in saying that, this one looks pretty good but it could be dodgy!

Hmm Here's another one

Err what the heck is a 'Hi-Copi'

After reading through again, they are all knock offs! don't bother unless you want to just have a 'look a like' for fashion sake.

Be careful. People who are too fast are easily caught in these scams...

I can understand how people can make fake Levi jeans, louis vuitton bags, etc because it's all fabric and simple plastic, but to go to all that trouble to make a relatively functional knock-off is beyond me. I know people will fall for these scams, but surely the "It's too good to be true" suspicion would creep in?




Hmmm, unboxing videos *drool*

A couple of sure signs of a fake: dual SIM and TV. Whenever I see these the red flag goes up.

Some of the iPhone Knockoffs were actually quite good as a cheap DualSIM phone, most of them were absolute trash though so be warned!
