I think you have bought a phoney my friend!

I agree. From the list of what's under the Settings menu, this sounds like a fake iPhone.

I really want pictures now.

sounds fake to me, however, i've noticed some themes change the order of my settings and add theme add ons to the settings menu. Really hard to make a final determination until we see a pic of the back of the phone and a screen shot.

To the original poster, take a screen shot by holding down the home button and the lock button on the top of the phone at the same time, then releasing. Then upload the photo for us to see.

If it means you've got a fake iPhone, yes.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your advice and suggestions. I took the phone to the neighborhood cell shop, he was very imporessed with the phone but the final verdict is that it is a knock off. I called the person i bought it from in CL and we are metting tomoorw at his home to return the phone.

The cell shop siad that this is the best knof occ he has seen so far, he said it looks, feels and even smells like an iphone....all the apps were working ( No compass ) LOL but otherwise it was a good phone but not an apple iphone. Is had 32GB memory but the camera was only 2MP. After going deeper into the operating system the text turned into chinese charachters. He said that for all phone purposes its awsome and even better then the other well kown brands but at the edn of the day it's a fake.

I'll take pics of it from my other camers and post it on here....front, back and main page with icons....perhpas also the settings page.

Glad I could return it, the seller was also unaware about it being a fake...who knows.

Thanks,
G

Definitely post pics for future reference.

Even if the iPhone felt, looked and smelled like an iPhone, im almost certainly sure that id be able to tell a fake as soon as I picked it up.

Maybe im having a little too much confidence in myself, or too little in the forgers! lol
