Default SciPhone I68+

Is this some off brand phone? I really want a touch phone but am not eligible for an upgrade and I don't want to pay $300+.

These phones are identical to the iPhone but what is the quality?

If you want a phone that LOOKS like an iPhone, there are some decent clones out there, but none of them WORK like an iPhone...

They are made in China, specifically as knock-offs...some have logos that probably border on copyright infringement...

I have a wireless store and just paid $50 bucks for one that really does look good/close to the iPhone, but the functionality doesn't come close...

My advice is to stay away from them, get on Craigslist or ebay and find a real one for cheap...

Don't go near the knock offs. They don 't behave the way the original does and they don't have any user support. If you do buy one, don't expect anything outside of calls and texts with limited browser use. My brother bought one thinking he was gonna get a great deal. He gave up messing with it after a week. It was a complete joke. Do like the above poster said, and just find a real iphone cheap on craigslist/ebay.
