ChiPhone?

[Dragonpaco]

has anyone tried one of those iphone knockoffs from china? i was thinking about getting one off ebay for 20 bucks, due to my newfound hatred of apple the actual iphone is out of the question.

why do you hate apple?

[Dragonpaco]

because my ipod shit out on me a few hours before my trip to A.C, and it was the 9th apple product i've owned that needed to be sent back to the factory because they don't make it good enough in the first place

I had some serious issues with my ipods years ago to the end that after 6 months of ownership I had replaced it 5-6 times. Ended up getting in touch with apple legal and getting my money back. the quality control on the hard-drive apples is suspect.

That sucks. I really want an MacBook...but I'm hearing of motherboard trouble on the new MacBook Pro's. In fact, we have one in house we use to edit on...the CPU shit the bed after only 3 weeks.

that's why i want to buy from china. i just don't want my money to go to apple. i'd rather it go to chinese counterfiters. at least they admit they are criminals.

I've never heard of this alleged ChiPhone. Is it basically identical to the iPhone?

[Dragonpaco]

yeah, from what i see it's a great knockoff and you don't need to download the apple brand of spyware onto your computer
