The most interesting thing is the backplate, which NetEase claims is the real metal/glass infused deal, and the folks there will allow you to rent and play around with the various components, including the backplate, for 50, 000 yuan, around $7, 900...

It will ALWAYS be the same design no matter what...
If they do change it then Apple customer will run away from that...

Who the f**k would pay that much to play with a backplate that nobody can verify its genuine ?
The only type of person that I can think of are retarded rich people

I wouldn't get caught holding that ugly piece of trash. Why would I pay that much to play with it? Good luck with that!

scam!

16. groupsacc posted on 22 Aug 2012, 07:58 1

I thought it was crazy at first, but more I think about it, it makes sense, cus there will be counterfeit manufacturers who'd kill to get their hands on this.

I think the two toned back looks weird and unbalanced.....But it may look better in person.

wow, why would I or anyone else be ripped off? Even if you are rich or well-to-do this is not worth it for any phone.

I'm fine with just looking at the photos.

If this isn't the actual parts from the IPhone 5, it for damn sure isn't too far from it. I mean, c'mon...how much do yo think they'll actually change the thing? Here are few things you can bet on...it'll be a slab form factor...it'll have rounded corners...the screen will be larger. Oh and it will be rectangular and likely available in black and white. Metal and glass will be primary materials. There you go folks...I don't think anyone is going to be surprised when the final design is released. I won't. It'll be an elongated IPhone 4S with LTE. To be honest, the IPhone 4/4S design is really nice. They really don't have to do anything to it...other than enlarge the screen a bit. I think that's what most folks are really looking forward to.
