While in the past I’ve ranted how Chinese handset makers are getting better with the technology (i.e. WQVGA screens), it’s clear they’re also advancing in cloning — i.e. stealing intellectual property of other companies. Earlier, we had one really good lookin’ Nokia N76 ripoff and now, possibly the same company cloned the N93i.

In terms of specs, the fake N93i has a 2.4″ touchscreen, much worse 2 MP camera, possibly some kind of a media player, and a microSD slot. Actually, unlike the original N93i which is somewhat unique device with that optical zoom, this is yet another Chinese phone placed in a N93i-like box. More photos after the jump…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
