Gizchina News of the week
Now we have long known that Chinese phone makers can produce some stunning equipment for only 2000 Yuan, so imagine what should be possible with 200,000! Prepared to be let down though as this iPhone wannabe with cheesy looking diamond border boasts just 512mb RAM, 4-inch 480 x 800 display, Android 2.3 and only has 2G GSM and 3G support. However if security is a concern then the fact it runs a 128-bit encryption chip might draw you in.
If you do happen to like the Veb V2 but you budget can’t quite stretch to the asking price then there are a couple of cheaper Veb phones raining from just 8000 Yuan to 50,000 Yuan!
I wouldn’t take it for free. The person who buys this, deserves it.
Are you sure the decimal point is in the right place? Think it should read $3.20! As for standing out, you certainly would with this as everyone would be able to see what a dick you are. Enough said..
What a crappy phone. I wouldn’t buy it even for free. I can’t help but wonder what is going on in their sick brains

Can you not classify Chinese people by how your racist mind interprets them? It’s rude and uncalled for.
The diamond border may be “cheesy looking” but they are diamonds. And with the allure of 128-bit encryption, it’s a safe bet that A Chinese businessman isn’t going to be buying for himself. Guess who finds one on the pillow?
