Nokia 5300/5700 cloned as portable media player

With Chinese handset cloners getting better every day, now it’s more important than ever to watch out what you’re buying. Lately we’ve spotted a device that clearly resembles Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 5300 and/or 5700, but is NOT a mobile phone. Rather, Chinese company decided to go without any cellphone radios and create a pure phone-like portable media player. The end result is a weird device which has some very decent specs for a PMP, yet has the regular numeric keypad.

Speaking of specs, potential suckers — after all it’s not the quality you’ll get from the company which makes this kind of “devices” — could expect 2.4″ screen; support for AVI and 3GP video and MP3, MIDI, WAV, WMA and AAC audio files; some preinstalled games; and 8GB of built-in storage space.

We’ve no idea how much this device costs, and frankly we don’t wanna know. It’s just our duty to inform you that these kind of devices exist and that, once again, you should be extra careful!
