Got a friend who came back from China and he's showing me a clone '16GB' Iphone. Looks like the genuine one, with a batch of IMEI no. printed on the backcover. The whole box looks genuine enough, comes with all the accessories of an Iphone. What's set it apart from the real Iphone is the battery looks kinda cheap and comes with dual-sim card support. While plugging it into a PC, it reveals that the 16GB storage is a hoax. The whole thing has only 8GB storage capacity. The so call manual is another joke, with only 3 pages of short description on how to operate the function of the phone. The manual is best suite as emergency toilet paper.

I suspect these clone Iphone are originally real Iphone but was discard before leaving the final production line in a factory due to some defect, so someone took them and revamp and selling it cheap on the market.

He kept bragging it was so cheap (RM 300 for 1!) and had bought 5 of them back home. My initiate respond was telling him careful not to burn a hole in your pants with one of them. Bringing a clone phone going out is just ain't cool man.

EDIT: *realize this might not be a good place to rant*
