Hey came across this website: http://android-sale.com/
i know they are "clones" but looking at some of there spec's
some of them might be alright e.g. HDC A9100 http://android-sale....g-dual-sim.html
with a dual core processor that's 1.1 GHz it would make an alright phone right?
check it out and also give me some feed back seeing as i might buy one.

>also would it be able to run CM?

No clue if the phones will be any good (I doubt it) but I can definetly say you wont be running CM or any custom rom on those. You'll also never get any OTAs so it would be stuck on whatever it came with out of the box.

There's an old saying. If something is too good to be true then it probably is. Your money to risk but you're more than likely gonna get burned.

Interestingly the HDC shows 7 reviews with a 5 star average and every single review is simply a post of "can it do this", "does it have this".....

what's copied is only the looks, once you get the phone in your hands you'll regret every cent you spent on that piece of *****
one year ago a friend of mine got him an iphone copy, he suffered from terrible pain in his years every time he made a call
no matter how cheap, they just never worth it.

These phones are never good. You may order a phone for cheap cost @eBay, because in some countries only unlocked phones are sold (for example, ex-USSR), at somewhat okay price.

If you want a cheap phone for CM, I recommend the HTC Tattoo. It's a bit old but it does the job and it's updated to 2.3.7.

I have one and then upgraded to a N1, but I still use my Tattoo as an alarm radio clock to listen to foreign radios and podcasts with Tunein, Google Listen and the built-in FM radio.
