Fake Chinese iPhones look more convincing than ever
The Raw Feed — As Apple perfects the iPhone with the new iPhone 3G S, Chinese counterfeiters perfect the look and feel of fake iPhones, from the hardware to the software UI and even the box. They tend not to work very well, however. (props to Cult of Mac) ...

One downside to consistant iPhone 3GS form factor: Clones.
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — There is plenty of upside to Apple's choice not to change the design of the iPhone3GS from the iPhone 3G.  All docks and accessories work between models, you know exactly where all of the buttons are on the device and "it ain't broke", right?  Well, there is also a downside.  Those knockoff-makers have lots of time to perfect your look and feel.  Cult of Mac looked at popular Chinese iClones like the A88 or SciPhone i68 and found them amazingly similar...on the outside. ...

En ALT1040 Eduardo publicó un video donde se observa una copia del iPhone 3G y donde se puede ver que el software que utiliza es algo vergonzoso. Lo peor de todo es que hay muchos lugares, como eBay, por ejemplo, donde te venden estas terminales como si fueran originales y cuando llega a tu casa te encuentras con esto. Una ...
