iPhone V iPhone Clone.. HELP

How do you tell the difference between these, I've seen some of these clones and they look identical there being sold on ebay but i have been offered a new 3g iphone for good money but how do you tell if its a clone or not?

Just luck at the specs and you should know which is dodgy. Check the spec against the spec on apple websites.

try and check if theres an app store, and just download and test a free one before purchase

looking to pick one up this weekend.. thinking of giving this low cost iphone a miss seems a bit too good to be true if ya get me..

How much is it?

Dannyboi3k · 18-01-2010 4:28am

He assured me it was "original" apple.. 200 which is fairly cheap TBH

banquo · 18-01-2010 4:53am

You're meeting him in person, yeah?

If you're in Dublin (no plans this weekend) I don't mind popping in along with you to check it out. You don't want a fake iPhone. they break after a few weeks, apparently.

Cheers Banquo thats very kind of you

Good to see there is some decent people still out der

Just browsing on o2's site and I'm thinking of getting a brand new one, 3g €100 on billpay.. 40 a month thereafter for 18months, should I go for it? Just wondering what the costs are while travelling as I am thinking of heading off to spain to work for the summer so I could be caught on that one.. Dont fancy paying for something I cant use..

I'm not sure if there are any roaming problems. I will offer this advice:

1. Wait until vodaphone have the iPhone. Then you'll be able to compare deals. They'll be pretty much the same, but one might be tweaked more to your own preferences.

2. Wait until summer. There's a whole new line of iPhone due (quite possible it'll be announced the 27th of Jan, 9 days!) and it'd suck to spend that cash and have 'last year's' model. Also, the model you want will be cheaper.

PM me with meetup details if you're still going ahead with this deal. Though e200 isn't a crazy cheap price for a 2nd hand iPhone 3G.

Dannyboi3k · 18-01-2010 6:21am

Yeah good points made there.. and also he said it was 3Gs not 3G sorry about that my mistake..
And the thing is i'm in dire need of a new phone as mine is really on its very last legs so I dont know what to do now :P

.. With o2, how long roughly would the 1gb limit last?

banquo · 18-01-2010 6:29am

AGES. You won't hit the limit unless you're watching 9 hours of YouTube a day. Seriously though, most people don't even hit half that with regular use. You'd need to be up to crazy stuff to come even near the limit.

Dannyboi3k · 18-01-2010 6:42am

Cheers for all your help bud looks like o2 will have a new customer during the week, pending roaming options.. you should be getting commission for this lol..

Thanks again

banquo · 18-01-2010 7:04am

should be getting commission

pick me up an iPhone while you're at the 02 store

nulabert · 18-01-2010 7:06pm

Simple thing to remember - if the price is to good to be true well then its a fake!

Dannyboi3k · 18-01-2010 7:16pm

Yeah I guessed that.. So.....

I went and got one today in the o2 shop collecting it tomorrow after its activated yadda yadda yadda.. unlimited data usage, free any network texts 150 minutes a month (which ill never use all of them) all for €40 a month i think its not a bad deal to be fair its on the new price plan which only started today

roll on tomorrow
