The components these are made out of are crap. That's why.]]>Oct 6th 2007 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/
Why are they so cheap? Well because they are much cheaper to produce than you think.

What adds cost is the management, design, additional safety procedures and regulation procedures in US. The better manuals, the support phone lines and repair services.

Last, but not least, the marketing and advertising costs.

And last (but totally not least), the ever increasing profit margin which is mandatory in US, but for one reason or another, optional for Chinese manufacturers (most Chinese factories are happy to break even, let alone get money on top).]]>Oct 6th 2007 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/
It's just a damn wide screen for a phone, don't you think?]]>Oct 6th 2007 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/
You're turning those series into parody of themselves.
So it's ripping T-Mobile Dash because it has similar form factor?

If you'll be calling it "fake", tell us what's fake it in, since it doesn't even try to pretend to be a T-Mobile Dash (nor it is made for the US market).]]>Oct 6th 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/Oct 6th 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/keepin-it-real-fake-part-lxxxvii-manhattan-mobile-not-a-t-m/the phone can receive calls from both sims just like you're using two phones.]]>Oct 7th 2007 5:06AM
