Bway, dem neva waste no time fi try bootleg di new iPhone.

But di joke is, dem mek the startup and shut down music sound jus like windows. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] Dat deh should warn yuh sey is mus bi ah piece ah junk! An wanda if dem build di phone pan top ah di windows operating system? If yuh get wan ah dis wan, jus bi prepare fi locu-ups, an dat yuh haffi goh constantly re-boot it.

Bwoy..... Missa Chin nuh waste nuh time eeh?
Anyway the real IPhone is made/assembled in China.... I can attest to that I had one in my possession.

I think this cool if it is really on the windows operating system, from my standpoint the IPhone and most cell phones (including the crak-berri pearl which I now own), is useless to me because you still have to go through the Cell Towers to get WIFI (or in the case of the Crak-Berri not at all unless you go Laptop-BT-Cell and then that defeats the whole game).

There is one exception the handsets made by HTC, that operates on WM5/6. These can do anything that IPhone can do when fully unlocked. So far you can only unlock the IPhone as WIFI Browser with a Pay-As-You-Go Phone Plan.

So a windoze IPhone knock off is really great.
Ruma has it that Apple is coming out with a Nono-Phone dem betta hurry up, I Crak-Berri or one of the DAP get there first they will be toast.

Re: The Bogus iPhone from China.

Tuff, is ther any way to send or respond to an e-mail you receive on the iPhone? Is there an on-screen keyboard that you can use as an input device?

You can receive emails, there is an on screen keyboard and I think you can send.
I only helped to set it up so it is not in my possession right now, however the owner did ask in reply to an enquiry if I had got a particular email from the IPhone, so I imagine that it is good in that department.

Researchers hack into iPhone via Web By PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer
1 hour, 41 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Hackers could take control of an iPhone if its owner visits a doctored Web site or Internet hotspot, security researchers reported Monday.

The vulnerability of the vaunted device, Apple Inc.'s first cell phone, is only theoretical for now. There are no reports of criminals actually taking advantage of the security glitch to remotely access an iPhone.

But if it were exploited, hijacked iPhones could be very useful to the same gangs that take over personal computers and use them to disseminate spam, said Charlie Miller, principal security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, which discovered the flaw.

In addition, hijacked iPhones could be used to send spam by cell-phone text message, which computers generally can't. Any personal data on the phones, such as private phone numbers and text messages, would be accessible as well.

The flaw applies not only to the iPhone, which was launched just three weeks ago, but also to Apple computers running Mac OS and the company's Safari Web browser, a version of which comes with the iPhone. It does not affect Safari running on Microsoft Corp.'s Windows systems.

The researchers at Baltimore-based ISE haven't released the specifics of the vulnerability to the public, but have provided details to Apple and supplied the company with a patch, a software update for plugging the hole.

On Aug. 2, Miller will present details of the flaw at the Black Hat USA hacker conference in Las Vegas and online. That will make it easier for criminals to replicate the exploit, but he stressed that it should also be easy for Apple to release a patch to all its users before then. The iPhone and Macintosh computers are configured to receive software updates automatically from Apple.

"Hopefully, on Aug. 2, nothing happens: we release the information, everyone's patched and that's it," Miller said.

Apple spokeswoman Lynn Fox said Apple is looking into ISE's report, but would not say if there are plans for a patch.

"We always welcome feedback on our security," Fox said.

Miller said the flaw did not necessarily reflect badly on Apple.

"I'm sure that if you put any sort of mobile device that's complex enough in front of me, we'd find pretty much the same thing," he said. At the same time, "the security of the iPhone is not as good as the security of the Mac desktop, and I think that's something they need to work on."

Miller and the rest of the ISE team, which included Jake Honoroff and Joshua Mason, discovered holes in the security of the iPhone within minutes of getting their hands on their boss' phone.

"He didn't really want to let us do it, but eventually he gave in, and we poked around with it for a few minutes, and already saw some things that could make the programs crash," Miller said.

Their technique, called "fuzzing," involves sending lots of random or improperly formatted data to a device, and noting what causes crashes or other problems that could be openings to sending code that takes over the device.

To protect an iPhone against this and similar future vulnerabilities, the ISE team recommends that users only visit sites they trust, not open Web sites from e-mails and not use unfamiliar Wi-Fi hotspots.
