In the past, some time after a product hit the shelves you could buy some sort of Chinese fake version by a small part of the value.

But now the copycats surpassed themselves, they actually managed to launch an Apple iPhone’s mockup BEFORE the real deal hit the shelves. Although it does have a touch screen, the main difference between the iPhone and the Hua Long IP2000 is the two lines keypad below it.

Check out the specifications for the Hua Long IP2000, that you can already buy from China for the equivalent costs of US$ 140.00
