My new fake, fake Iphone or Fake Sciphone

So I just avoid buying Apple products since the company has enough sheep following it, but I did want a touchscreen phone and I'm less than a year into my 2 year contract, so I needed to buy my company from someone other than Tmobile. (New phone because my sweet dog chewed up the old one). The Iphone has the longest history of copies, so I figured a fake Iphone would work out. Before this I considered buying a new touchscreen phone, but they tended to cost about 275-350, so I decided to try the $120 Sciphone, or what I thought would be a Sciphone. Now, unfortunately, I went for Ebay and if you want to legit fake, you should go to mysciphone.com or net or something. My Faux Fake Iphone works so similarly to the normal Sciphone, that I wouldn't have known it was the wrong one if not for the opening screen showing some gobbledy-gook rather than Sciphone.


Out of the package:
An 8GB Flash card came installed in the phone, so all I needed to do was insert the sim car and battery and connect to some sort of power source with the USB. Also in the box was a car charger, USB cable, earphones, wall battery charger, and flash card adapter. I installed my sim card upside down at first, but eventually figured out why it couldn't work and turned it over.

There are 2 Sim slots, I use the second one and you have to set the phone to look only in the one slot.

Figuring it out:
Some things are intuitive, but others needed more help. Ex: There is a MP3 and audio folder and when I moved my music onto the player, I was wondering why it didn't work. My music was wma, so I'll have to conver it to mp3 to enjoy. I also need to buy a pair of bluetooth headphones so I can enjoy the music better.

It takes okay pictures, nothing better or worse then any phone camera.

Opening txt files was also fine, you can bookmark. I haven't used the option much and I will try it out some more since I do enjoy a good ebook with lunch.

The interface is very quick and the screen is very bright and beautiful. I am mostly impressed with the phone quality. The only problem is that when I touch one corner of the screen, the plastic makes a noise like its moving if you know what I mean. Touchscreen should not make noise when you touch them unless you set it up and then its electronic and this is definitely build related. I'm not sure if that's something I should worry about, or live with. I mean, this phone only has to last me a year until my contract expires and I get a new phone.

I'll update with the battery specifics and after I play aroudn with it some more.
