This is either the best or worst iPhone review ever. Wendy Cheng is apparently the most popular blogger in Singapore. Before giving her the real iPhone, her producers tricked her into reviewing a Chinese knockoff. But she actually liked the fake, saying it's "not bad for a shitass China phone." The real iPhone? Only "mediocre," and "I really don't like the touchscreen...it's fucking shitty." Oh, that's just the tip of this iceberg of awesome. [ClickNetwork.TV via Fake Steve]

i stopped the video <1/2 of the way through cuz i was about to kung pow my monitor straight to singapore...
Is she like retarded, just a little? Calling the iPhone mediocre? This is heresy, she must be a witch, let's burn her and see if her bones float
I couldn't handle this horrible video. Who else thinks me putting on a wig and singing a Donna Lewis song would be better than this?
...does that say "dicknetwork" or "clicknetwork" ?
That was so hilarious!! "not bad for a shitass China phone..." ohhh, I f&#$ing love it hahhaha
@Jason Chen: I couldn't handle this horrible video. Who else thinks me putting on a wig and singing a Donna Lewis song would be better than this?
I totally agree. Let's make this happen people.
@Jason Chen: Yes you should do your impression. I became too irritated watching and listening (mainly listening) to this woman speak.
@Jason Chen &@AqueousBeef & @imTheKing: I agreee
Generation Y.. Generation Y...
"I guess apple users are too cool for nails"
I don't use my fingertips for the iPhone...
"I don't care about music, it's annoying"
This bitch has brass balls. She just dissed music on a whole, specifically, "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. How the hell is she popular?
@Jason Chen: Yes, I knew posting this would work!
I watched this video by turning off the sound, and I cudn't bear her weird smile while handling the fake iPhone. Ewwwwwwwwwwww
anyone can be a star now. here in gizmodo there's even that PLUS ICON to "follow this commenter".
I was going to be an astronaut but I think it's easier to make a blog. Bloggers probably get laid all the time...
I liked the video.
@aimanchi
Yeah? And what do you look like? The Macbabies can't handle seeing a cute Asian girl trash their holy grail. Sniff.
And as for her accent, how many of you mofo's can speak Chinese, bad accent or not?
Thought so...
aehueaeauheahueahueahuheauheauhueahueahuehauheauheauhueahueahueahuheauea
that was fun!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Remind me never to travel to Singapore. My thoughts of that country have been tainted forever. How can ANYONE stand to listen to this half-wit for more than 30 seconds? She's not clever, cute, or smart. She's just painfully obnoxious. I demand the last 2 minutes of my life back!
ok, so a chick from singapore with a whacked out british accent?
1. She's dittzy. See the necklace that said "Blonde"
2. She makes a good point about fingernails. (Send her an HTC phone with a keyboard and make sure she can find the sytlus.)
3. She said she was going to make a biased review.
She did like the scroll function of the contacts and the video quality of the iPhone. I don't think she liked the one phone over the iPhone though. I took her comment "shit ass China phone" to mean...wow, this thing works, as in turns on and functions and probably best shit ass China phone she's ever seen.
She definitely had some inner hate for people that use iPhones though.
(Hint: It's probably some girl at the club that thinks she's all that in the VIP room, or probably any/every other girl.)
"yea but honestly who cares about music, it's very annoying"
and she's popular?
tfsu... stupid whore
She is the Malayasian Paris Hilton with the superficial and lazy view of everything.
I know girls with long fingernails that use an iPhone with no problem. Finger flat, not sideways and not with the tip of the nail.
She even was wearing a gold necklace that says 'blonde'... and that doesn't even make sense on an Asian chick.
Should have been the Meizu, ftw!
Best review ever!...totally kidding is was TOTALLY shitty....the pain...i can't beleive that i watched it all.
I guess mac users are too cool for nails.
Seriously though, the part where she said mac users are so uppity is kinda true. Admit it!!!!!!!!!!
This bitch is annoying as all hell, but you gotta admit that it's funny. Watching her gimp about the iPhone screen because she had fucked up talons was pure gold.
@callitfriend-o: She's cute, but there's something about her that makes me think that I'd want to gnaw my own brains out if I had to bear her company for more than five minutes without a happy ending.
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like dicknetwork.tv as opposed to clicknetwork?
UGH! She is on Wikipedia and has been around or several years, even having paying sponsers. Her controversy is worth a read, especially the part where she wrote stuff that forced most of sponsors to drop her. :D
@neomajic: The device that doesn't yet exist outside of napkin sketches, photoshop renderings and shoddy punchboard hacks.
@AqueousBeef:
you are not alone.
lol, this whole time I was thinking if I googled that, I would end up on a gay porn site
soooo... how long until the Jason Chen version? theres enough material in that video to use!
@Jason Chen: Hell, you could even wear a wig and sing Achy Breaky Heart in a shaky falsetto, and it would be less annoying. She must be "popular" in the same way that Paris Hilton is "popular"....
@Mandatory_Field: In defense of Paris Hilton, I don't imagine blades and pieces of bone shrieking across blackboards while the shrill screams of Margot Kidder ring in my ears as much as I do when I hear this woman speak.
but you still would though.....?
God I want to kill her eyelashes.
this is just sad
@Kaiser-Machead: Good point. And I bet even Paris would have figured out that the chinese clone wasn't a real iPhone by 1/2-way through her "review"....
@mitchel_stevens: well, next episode is about sex shops.
so... i guess dicknetwork.
Damn there's a lot of hate on here. How many of you have ever lived in or visited that part of the world. It's actually pretty funny. Everyone acts like this is meant to be taken seriously. I don't think she did. Who cares...
I thought it was funny, but then again I didn't design the iPhone like everyone else posting here so I'm not taking it personally.
@media_lush: The Margot Kidder part...just a smidge
@Kaiser-Machead: You don't? Wow, because I most definitely do. Or at least I find myself imagining those blades and shards of bone scrapping across the FACE of Paris Hilton.
hahaha oh you guys are insane! That was comic gold!!!! She is fucking hilarious. Not her jokes (although I did like her saying that she was going to make a biased review) but man, you could not replicate that if you tried.
"I don't HAVE a tip of a finger!"
AWESOME.
Her english is ok compared to most people who try to communicate in another country. "Do you accept credit cards?"
I thought this was hilarious, much more entertaining than David Pogue's trying-to-be-funny musical iPhone review. I also love Ed Wood movies. Follow the link to her review of Photoshop, where she makes her boobs bigger. Finally, a useful Photoshop tutorial!
@grendelthing: I think she did. She's honestly that ditzy from the looks of things. So, in summation, I care.
these comments are hilarious. XD
apple fanboys do not like their prize products insulted.
That was the worst thing I've ever watched. And I saw the American version of "Shutter" two weeks ago....
@japFA: It's not that she's mocking the phone. It's that she didn't know the difference between the iPhone and the piceofShiphone.
It's in Engrish that's why.
@japFA: i dont own 1 apple product yet. but like skittlzncombos said (using my own words), she's a dingbat.
btw... brand new apple macbook pro 15 inch coming soon to meeee.
...apple fanboy status still pending
"The Macbabies can't handle seeing a cute Asian girl trash their holy grail."
OMG. . .she's SO cheap-looking. Not to mention a complete and total idiot. LOL.
the only thing she really liked about the iphone was watching a video of herself...she's a perfect macfan!
@japFA:
I tend to agree.
OMG she knocked our saving grace! how dare she! She must = stupid!
Yeah, she had some good points. Music... on a phone... yes, Is annoying. I'm not one to lug a mp3 player around or listen to music as i traverse the mall or something, so the MP3 player function is absolutely useless to me.
The only place I would use a mp3 player myself, is in the car, as mass media storage.
The rest of the product, as a whole isnt bad.
The touchscreen, yes, peice of shit.
Honestly, do you people actually perfer tapping those virtual keys that you cannot feel over an actual slideout qwerty keyboard you can navigate with two thumbs? I can bang out texts far faster on my HTC Tyntyn than anyone with an iphone and certainly faster than a regular 0-9 dialpad.
I'm eyeballing the macbook air, but it's still a bit pricey IMO.
I'll consider a iPhone when they enter the 21st century. 2g, come on, are you kidding?
If someone who dosent even know what the product looks like before hand reviews it you know it will a HORRIBLE REWVIEW.
FYI: That's a standard Singaporean accent (but dumbed down by the speaker).
why is the top blogger in Singapore doing this in English, poor English. (hey, she know more language than me, Chinese, and most English). No, she's not stupid, just very self admittedly biased against all things apple. It was funny, i think she actually was impressed with the iphone. No, I'm not an apple fan boy.
@impreza: You sir, I challenge to a text off. Yeah it takes getting used to, but that keyboard is just as quick to type out a text on as any qwerty with the right amount of practice. And the rest of your comment was all "I" and "me". Congrats on not liking the iPhone, but just because you won't use the music function, doesn't mean that I don't use it every day on my 5 mile bike ride to work, and for the first 4 hours of my work day, and then again on the ride home. Learn this lesson: the fact that you won't use something, does not make it useless.
You'd think for someone who would use phones alot in her daily life she would've gathered the concept of using your finger and not your nails to operate it, seriously you don't see woman with long finger nails use it to enter numbers and such into normal phones, why the hell would you use it to operate a touch screen.
