Engadget’s Chris Ziegler had a short time with a device that looks pretty much like the Nokia N97, except that it’s much smaller and lacks the full QWERTY keyboard. However, the unnamed handset did “borrow” quite a few design lines from Nokia’s new flagship device, but failed to use the Symbian S60 platform. Rather, the OS that powers this phone is buggy, unreliable and non-functioning on a way-to-small touchscreen — and the question remains would it work on a bigger screen, as well.
Now you may ask what’s the point of this article. As always, we’re here to warn you not to buy fake devices. The quality is spotty, to say the least, and in this case – the end result is completely unusable handset, which you’ll throw away the minute you start using it. Check out Engadget’s website to see this happening on video — for a minute Chris tried and tried to use it, but failed miserably. It’s not his fault, it’s junk we’re talking about here…

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.
