That looks like trouble to me!

It looks slightly different to my iPhone 4, but then mine is black so that could partly explain it.

But then the specs :

Dual sim phone
Support memory card - iPhones do NOT support memory cards
Support full screen
Support GPRS
MP3 / MP4 player
E-book reader
Touch Screen
Bluetooth - iPhones only allow bluetooth for handsfree connectivity
Currency Converter
Stopwatch
MMS, WIFI
WHATS IN THE BOX:
1× Cellphone , 32GB Memory Card - Again, iPhone doesnt have memory card slots
1× Wired stereo earphones with built-in MIC and clip
2× Rechargeable Li-ion battery - iPhone is sealed, you cannot remove the battery
1× Phone to USB - iPhone doesnt have a USB connection
1× Power adapter


If I were you I would block any payment and run a mile from this!

Thanks for letting me now mate. I find it funny really. How he can put stuff like that on the listing when someone buys it LAST MINUTE. I never saw that THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL IPHONE4. It just came up when David wrote his message.., i haven't even payed him yet. He said pick it up. What are a complete ......

If its not already too late, dont make any payment.

If he tries to force you, point out to ebay that he amended the description after you had bid, therefore he was misleading you and advertising falsely. Turn it round on him so that he is the crook.

And if that fails, tell him to do one and make sure you keep your money/bank details firmly in your pocket.

I'm just glad you suspected something was wrong. Some people will just try and rip people off and its not right.

Get him reported and stay well clear.

When there are 2 sim holders in it, then it's alway's a Chinese copy, all the cell phones there has dual sim holders because they need to swith easily between Hong Kong network and mainland China.
You can buy this one for only 80$ direct in Hong Kong and it works very good.

Bart

I did buy a couple of 8gig ipod clones a year or so ago from hong kong over ebay. Think they come from exactly the same factory as the Apple versions, so are ipods in all but genuine software, but they we're something like £12 each with p&p, so it's worth the risk for something that doesn't cost all that much, but they never claimed to be ipods. It sounds like the seller is either trying it on, or he genuinely bought a fake ipnone 4 not realising, but fake or replica means they can justify charging what he appears to be. At the end of the day, you do pay for the name with these things, that's why you can get replicas of rc cars now for a fraction of what they we're based on are.

Yes indeed, most of the Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc is 70% from thesame factory's, it's really funny when people are fanatic about Apple or HTC and when you visit that company you seen a production of the 2 'brands' on thesame place with only a few meters between them.
I even saw once a factory where they made RC cars (a well know brand) and they made 10 meters further parts for another brand (also a very know one) so China is a small world
