Clones Industry - isn't it the defining moment

From the time of HiPhone to SciPhone to Ciphone to ?iPhone, China is really serious in bring its clone industry into daylight. Statistics show that there are more than 30 varieties of iPhone clones on the Chinese market, some low end single function models and some complete with Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system and wifi/bluetooth/dual-sim.

Quality-wise, the iphone clones are not as good as nokia or samsung clones. There're vertu and anycall models that are 1/10 of original price. They not only resemble the outlook but also have better reliability.

Olympics effect

It's a great grand opening of Olympics. Seven years of preparation is what Chinese take pride in.

What's little known to the rest of the world is the impact the Olympics games have on shipping orders. As an overseas consumer you will notice that many sellers no longer ship the hiphones, or will experience extended delay of your shipment.

Many sellers are waiting eagerly for the Olympics to wrap up sooner instead of rejoicing in the events. They dare not voice it out though. The country cares for its public image and will crush any "face-losing" activities like making and shipping knockoff iphones.

But you can continue to buy from http://www.hiphoneshop.com with confidence, though there may be some delay.

The popular models are CECT P168+, HiPhone F1 C-002, N88 Nphone, and the latest CiPhone 8GB.
