Default 8900 with 12MP Camera & Touch Screen - 10-23-2009, 04:04 PM

I saw this on eBay, it looks to be a "TV" edition. In the pictures it says 12MP, and under description is says touch screen.

New Curve Black WIFI TV Mobile Phone 8900 Unlocked GSM - eBay (item 170396092801 end time Nov-17-09 07:07:24 PST)

Its odd.

Wow.

I can't believe I didn't pick up on that. I did find it bizarre that the blackberry menu was just black.

AH!!!, I can't believe I fell for it.

TF = TransFlash. I think it's what microSD was called originally.

Thats funny stuff. It does say 12.0 megapixel on the pics of the phone. Just below the T Mobile logo made to look like TV Mobile.

The missing BlackBerry logo on the Menu Key wasn't a giveaway?

I'd put my money you'd end up with the Shell of the phone.
They did some clear editing on this, AND it's completely common to find a TV version Curve. HA

Brother ended up falling on something like this, he just ended up with a box though.

It's a dual sim, dual active china fone. it also has a TV tuner you can watch TV broadcast. Nice copy cat with practical features! I've actually seen two variations, one with trackball and another with D-Pad. Nice to have one and play around especially its price is 1/5 cheaper than the original Javelin

has anyone ever bought one of these and had a play??
I thought about it but didnt know if it was worth the money £75-80 here,

for some people i suppose its a way of looking like thya have all the latest phones with out the contracts or the outlay for the handset!!
they seem to cover most the modern phones!

No, its not worth the money.
Its a fake.
Even if your lucky enough to get the phone and not just an empty box, i doubt it would even work.
