Default Phones from china?

Has anyone bought phones from china? If so what is the quality like. Can you tell the difference? Also, do they still work after a year?

When you say ok, is it obvious their copies?

just to avoid confusions....
I didn't get them from the factory itself.
I got them from a fried who has a great buisness over there. I don't know how large the quantity is he is ordering but I thing he is ordering in hundreds at least.
It was a kind of "overstock". He had a deal going on and he had to much in the end. He had about 20 or 30 more then he needed.
So he sold me some. But normaly his MOQ is 50 units.
