    Do the Chinese actually use all these rip-offs? Do they not have access to the original technology, or something? Are they even aware of a rip-off when they see one? Do they care?

    These just boggle my mind whenever I see them. #hipodphone

    @Anunnaki: Yes. NYTimes ran a story on it and the market of knockoffs in China.

    "One-fifth the price, but the same function and look" really hits home with all the knockoffs.

    One person wanted iPhone, but it's over $500 (too out-of-their-range), so the knockoff fit them quite well at a price of a little over $100.

    [www.nytimes.com]

    So yes, they apparently do. #hipodphone

    Actually, if they could come out with something like the Samsung Upstage, but without the MP3 player side, I'd totally buy it.

    EDIT: Also, someone SHOULD buy this... then send it to Ashens for review on the ever-so-famous couch.

    Shady? How dare you insult such a reputable website in such a manner.

    China Grabber has been providing the gadget community with genuine, honestly top quality goods since I can remember.

    Thank you for recommending this particular gadget, I will order this at the same time as my "PXP-2000" and my "HiPhone" #hipodphone

    I wish products like this were easily available in the United States. I have always wanted to have gifts like this ready for fat people who have not bathed since the cretaceous period who sit next to me on six hour plane flights. Those are my favorite times, and this would be an engaging conversation piece. #hipodphone

    @TheCrudMan: I'd deem anyone nutters for free if her or she wants that phone.

    The $85 can be used to buy ice cream after the bad news.
