Hello,

Fakes are usually composed inferior components.
The os is poor and will sometimes not support apps.
No supported manufacturers gurantee.
I tunes could not recognise it.
No software updates via i tunes.

In my opinion its always better to pay that extra amount to get the genuine article no matter how alluring the 'fake' is.

Glad you asked it. I own an Iphone and a Sciphone too....lol , now here's the difference.

Like he said, the first difference is with the componenets they use. Such phone don't last that long, you might want to keep them away form kids. If such a phones falls on the ground it's DEAD.

He said the OS is poor - Well, I didn't find the OS poor. It was good, infact some of the features were even better then the iphone , Shake feature for instance.

The touchscreen is great for the Price of such phone . I never had a problem with the touchscreen, though you will have to dig hard for the components of such phones.

Well, they do come with a 1 year warranty, nothing on this planet earth has a guarantee attached to it. If they do, that's all crap.

The phone accepts third party softwares and all java touchscreen games or application.

Bottom line - You really can't compare them, I mean for almost a quarter of the Iphone you get something as close to a iphone. It's well worth the money
