Anyone fancy a (nearly) iPhone?



In a fit of numptiness I bought this on eBay a few days ago, thinking it was going to be very close to a 'proper' iPhone. When I found that it didn't have WiFi (an essential feature for me) I realised it wasn't going to do the job I had in mind for it so I thought I would post it up here before sticking it back on eBay.

To sum it up, the Hi-phone is a (very well made) Chinese clone of the Apple iPhone ..... but a hell of a lot cheaper - about a quarter of the price in fact. It looks pretty much the same and has the majority of the same functions, but without the WiFi thingy it is pretty much as useful as a chocolate teapot to me.

Here is the eBay link to see what you will actually get for your money. There is even a demo video (uTube is teeming with them) to give you a better idea of how it looks and performs.

I paid £100 for it and on balance I would say that you get a hell of a smartphone for your money - loads of features like Dual Sim capability (business & private lines anyone?) touch screen, integral storage up to 2Gb, and of course an excellent MP3 player.

TBH I can't be ar$ed to return it to the supplier or suffer the eBay listing fees so the first offer of £80 in Paypal will see it delivered to you by recorded delivery. This is a saving of £20 on the cheapest deal on eBay as we speak.

Anyone?
