I have also played around with one of those knock off Iphones. They do work, not great resolution, generic UI, the loudest 2 speaker speakerphone I have ever heard, and of course will only work with sim card gsm carriers. But you and everybody else will know its just a knockoff toy, but still fun.

As funny as this statement is, it is 100% true.

No sterilization available. "Testing" consists of powering it on, and if it powers up, it ships to market. OS is whatever you can find to put on it without any testing on the hardware, Unlisenced device. May cause interference in other electronic devices.

As an old saying goes: "You get what you pay for."

That's a vivid picture you have been painting. I don't know whether it is true. But if someone could make a product (albeit a buggy one) and manage to sell it, then kudos to his resourcefulness and creativity. All products starts this way. Microsoft started from a garage also. When these Chinese manufacturers accumulate enough capital, build their clean rooms, they'll kick some series ass, don't you think?

He thinks he is the master. As an old adage goes, you opponent's contempt is your biggest asset.

By the way, even the iphone is made by Chinese manufacturer.

Actually my phone is made in Taiwan but consider this.
My phone actually has WM on it or at least a legal copy. Not some generic OS
My phone has gps and wifi which 99% of cheap chinese phones do not
My phone can be warrantied at a store in US and in my town.
My phone doesn't contain a analog TV tuner like 95% of the cheap chinese phones on here or ebay which is totally useless in the US now.
And the other issue is that most of the stuff on that site is in not OEM but fakes made to look real.

I don't see this happening

And above all of this is a mute issue to me since I am CDMA which means I can not activate a cheap none carrier tagged phone without illegal activities
