Would you buy the cloned iphone4?

I mean it's much cheaper and the appearance is almost the same as the original one.
"It’s also very thin too, only 9.3mm at thickness. It gets a 3.5 inches 960×640 WVGA touchscreen, dual core processor and a 5.0M Pixels camera with flash. It’s based on a MTK platform, and gets Wi-Fi connectivity for you to access the Internet. "

The physical unit is likely cloned, however the software is going to be completely different.
WHY would you want that abysmal antenna design and not get the iOS software?
In short - no.  That said, I haven't and likely never will buy a real iPhone either.

  • Would you buy the iPhone 5 again?

    I've been an Android guy since the Motorola Droid 1 days and most recently have used the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  In short, I've been happy with this phone other than the fact it doesn't do its most important feature well such as HOLDING A SIGNAL.  Seriously, it is a freaking joke.  It was a problem when I bought this phone and I kept thinking that VZW would roll out an update to fix it.  Nope.  A dozen tech calls might fix it. Nope.  Even VZW seems to have given up on the phone.  Now when I call to complain, they just remind me I have an upgrade coming.  Most people fault VZW, I fault Google for allowing their flagship Nexus device to launch with such poor construction. 
    So onto my question.  My wife has the iPhone 4S, which for the most part has been great.  At a minimum it holds a steady 3G signal where I can't get anything.  At this time, I still want 4G and I like the bigger size of the iPhone 5, not to mention the global capabilities.
    Would you buy the IPhone 5 again? A quick Google search shows there was some reception issues with it as well on VZW, but many of those were older. Has it been resolved?  I can't drop a ton of money and deal with this stupidity again.  Otherwise I might hold on for the Moto X.  I'm through with Samsung, forever. 

    WOW, I just had my Verizon insurout ance replacement iphone 4s stolen in Cambridge, MA and located it with the App Find my Phone, and need a phone desperately as it is my work phone.  The replacement 4S stopped holding a charge for more than an hour and many other problems, like when you go to Contacts, and try to choose a person to call or text, the names start automatically scrolling and it was like diving in a pool of water that was 12' wide from a skyscraper....it took like 15 attempts to finally get your finger on the right contact and was absolutely frustrating.  So I was headed out to suck up the retail price for a new iphone 5 because my contract isn't up yet w/ Verizon and I also won't be using them again.
    So, I have 2 questions as I am at my wit's end and taking vacation day to deal with this crap today as I fly 60 % of the time.  An as an FYI, Boston and Cambridge campus is a hot spot for stolen Smartphones, so you might wanna tape that baby to your chest and use the speaker phone:-)
    1.  Is the iphone 5 a piece of crap too and does anyone have Samsung Galaxy or any other models they don't have issues with?
    2.  I am NOT tech savvy and was going to try to buy a used one on Craigslist or Ebay but all the recommendations are that you ask all these questions and go pick it up in person???  I am a female and that is not going to happen.....HELPPP  Any other options before I jump off that skyscraper into that pool???
    Sorry for long post, but dealing with this mess is soooo frustrating and I feel like I am hanging by a noose by Verizon.

  • Which One Would You Buy?

    Hello to All - My brother already has a 240GB Crucial M500 installed in one laptop, and now he wants to buy a new Crucial SSD around 250GB in size for another machine. He wanted to buy another M500, but they're no longer available, and he isn't too sure which one to choose from the current models. Given the choice, and regardless of price, would you choose the BX100, the MX100, or the MX200?

    Thanks for your quick responses, and the link to the article on anandtech.com in particular.   ***Edited to remove Crucial competitor***

  • What 3g model would you buy?

    I will be one of the many standing in line Mar 11 for the new ipad2 (2 of them actually) my question is to go with att or verizon 3g model? I live in the seattle area and we have good att 3g coverage here... but I do enjoy going camping in and around the Mountains, lakes, rivers, ocean, sound. and would enjoy doing some facebooking while in the great outdoors.. (pathetic I know ) is Verizon's data coverage better? worse? slower than att? I know they have more coverage but am worried about speed. in those everyday places i guess... what would you buy?

    I'd assume Verizon's iPad 3g coverage will be much like their iphone coverage (no talking while web surfing). I'd have to wonder what this will do with multitasking on the verizon version of the iPad 2. No specific examples to give........just a bit to consider.

  • HT201272 will you get extra charge if you buy the same app in another device?

    will you get extra charge if you buy the same app in another device?

    Yes.  Why would you buy it again, when  you can redownload for free?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Would you buy TC again?

    With the recent bump to 1TB and the need for a new wireless router I'm considering a TC but boy, the experiences seem to be all over the place. I know this is a forum for people trying to iron out problems but if you currently own a TC, would you buy one again? Would you recommend to other mac users?
    I may not go the wireless Time Machine route given some of the problems I've heard and my experience with Time Machine on my work iMac. May use SuperDuper instead or equivalent.

    Without a doubt I'd buy one again. I have one and my mother bought one. Not a problem between us (over a year +). As you correctly said this is a place where people come to help solve problems so you will see a higher rate of no responses.
    I have a dual band Time Capsule and the network is much stronger than my old Linsys router. No backup problems but I did the first one via Ethernet.
    When I bought a new iMac I was able to use the Time Machine backup to transfer all my files and preference from my old mac mini. Took about 40 minutes. How can you beat that?

  • Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    Would you buy a 64gb iPad 3rd Gen or an iPad Mini 16 gb if you could purchase either for $320?  Thank you

    I know your question has been answered by Demo and agree. And I agree that I would stay away from the ipad 3 that was discontinued after only months on the market.
    That said, I'm not sure where you were getting an ipad 3 for that cost - a friend, a store, an official reseller? I would be very careful of that.
    If you decide to buy a used ipad or even a new 16 gb mini, I strongly suggest you only buy it through Apple's online only certified refurbished store. They come and go as they are refurbished by Apple, so if you see what you want, buy it. An ipad mini 32 gb is now $339 in the refurb store. That's only $20.00 more than you're willing to pay.
    Personally, I'd go for the regular sized ipad with more space, but I would pay more if necessary and only buy it at the Apple online refurb store. If you buy an outside ipad, you usually only get the rest of the warranty if any time is still on it. Some resellers do not give any warranty. You might not know if it's been dropped and is working now but might quit soon, etc. You could end up with a demo version from a store, the battery could be on its way out, etc. There have been such stories on here.
    Each refurbished ipad and mini comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty , including 90 days of phone support. It will come in the white box with the charger just as a new one does, with free and fast shipping.
    We have had two 64 gb refurbed ipad 2's from the Apple store for almost a year and a half. They have been great! 
    (As others have and almost always suggest, get as much space as you can because you cannot increase that. Many end up wanting to do more than they planned as they learn about new apps and all they can do with their ipad. Also, updating apps also will take up more space.)
    And you don't get 16gb or 32 gb, etc. Some space is used to run the ios and apps that come with the ipad that are not removable.
    Oh. I needed to add that through the refurb store, you'll get it with ios 6 still installed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Would you buy a MacBook Air today?

    So all these darn rumors about early 2012 or a macbook air refresh, would you buy today or wait? I was going to buy one this week, but now i'm hearing early 2012 new air's...that could mean january, or that could mean april. Just need some friendly advice!

    Ok, just an update
    Ordered on Dec. 6th, air arrived dec. 7th! I was not home but UPS left it on my doorstep. Kind of concerning since anyone could have just snatched it. Anyways, got home, set it up, screen is amazing! Speed is quick, cant be happier. Glad I went with the 13", perfect size for travel, not too big, not too small. Thanks for all the posts in helping me make my decision.

  • What would you buy if you would you have to return...

    2 days ago my N97 stopped working, I had to turned off for some reason, and  when I turned it on the screen was frozen. (Nokia logo)
     I was so afraid of sending my phone out for repair, with the possibility of getting a new N97 and lose all my apps from the OVI store + all the information that I have on my phone.    lucky me, after attemping 10 more times, my phone worked.
    It came through my mind the possibility of getting a new phone, but wich one?, Iphone, HTC, Omnia, Android phone? Lets face it,  there is no phone in the market with all the capabilities than the N97 has. No phone gets even closer:
    - Memory capacity
    - FM transmiter
    - Widgets
    - FM Radio
    - Great resolution when you watch movies
    - 5MP camera
    - REAL MULTITASK phone ( over 8 apps open and no issues at all )
    - etc
    This morning I updated my phone to the new firmware (2.0XXX), IMHO I would say the firmware is not a mayor improvement, still some bugs to be fixed but, it runs a bit faster. C memory still the same and some other stuff that we all know the phone still has. So, What would you buy, if you have to return your N97?
     For me, maybe I will switch to Android OS when my N97 gets obsolete. 

    Anything new with WINmo 6.5 or some of the new Android phones coming out:
    - Memory capacity - N97 has NO MEMORY, the MINI has double the RAM.  Think about that!
    - FM transmiter - Works at a range of 2 feet - a cable would be better anyway into the car stereo
    - Widgets - are you kidding me?????
    - FM Radio - yeah sure that is good, but whatever
    - Great resolution when you watch movies - no h264 on the n97 mate, sure most other phones do this fine, my HP Ipaq from 2001 plays more movies than the n97 (it has skype as well!!)
    - 5MP camera - yeah until it is scratched 
    -REAL MULTITASK phone - WINmo can do it, Android can do it, even the pre can do it....
    I feel hooped for getting the N97, everything is there, but nothing works as it should.  Thankfully since this AM i dont have any out of memory errors, but I am sure they will return just when I don't need them to. 
    At this point anything is better - to be honest, I've had my eyes on the n900 - but unless Nokia fixes my n97, i wont throw them another dime so long as I live, nor will I allow the 30 people i have sent Nokias way to get another one.
    Fix.  My.  Phone. 
    I love my purple screen, 1/2 day battery, sketchy touch screen and $800 price tag - I call it my Lumia 900

  • How would you capture the stdout of Runtime.getRuntime().exec())?

    How would you capture the stdout of Runtime.getRuntime().exec())?
    Say you wanted to execute PKZIP25.exe from java using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). How would you capture the output of PKZIP25 (the console IO) in a file so you could check the results?
    Thanks
    Bill Blalock

    Thanks.
    Could you explain a little more?
    The program I am calling seems to be executing, as far as Java is concerned, but nothing happens. I imagine I have made mistakes in calling it but can't see the output to the console.
    Should I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() or Runtime.exec() for something like this?
    I appreciate the help!

  • If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    if you have the 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
    Hope that helps

  • Greetings. Do you know if an unlocked Iphone 5S can switch from CDMA to GSM with a sim card, or if you have to choose one capacity or the other when you buy the phone?  Many thanks.

    Greetings. Do you know if an unlocked Iphone 5S can switch from CDMA to GSM with a sim card, or if you have to choose one capacity or the other when you buy the phone?  Many thanks.

    Is this a Verizon or Sprint iPhone 5S?

  • How would you change the state to the base state?

    How would you change the state to the base state? Its not
    letting me do something like:
    currentState='<Base State>';

    Sorry about the vagueness of that last reply :)
    What I have done now in my code is this:
    viewstack1.addChildAt(loginCanvas,0);
    toggle.selectedIndex = 0;
    However nothing happens at this line of code:
    toggle.selectedIndex = 0;
    but this works:
    toggle.selectedIndex = 1; or ...
    toggle.selectedIndex = 2;
    toggle.selectedIndex = 3;
    toggle.selectedIndex = 4;
    toggle.selectedIndex = 5;
    toggle.selectedIndex = 6;
    The strange thing is that if I have a button on the screen:
    <mx:Button x="10" y="3" label="Button"
    click="toggle.selectedIndex =0"/>
    and the user clicks it the toggle.selectedIndex = 0; works.
    I'm stumped, any ideas?

    How would you change the default template?

    Hi,
    what do you mean by changing the default template? Do you want to change the standard BEx web template for all web applications? This can and should be done with transaction SPRO, there you can change it to your own (maybe by copying the standard template and fitting it to your needs).
    With regards,
