It’s the end of the week and we’re here to offer some solid advice, or at least try to do so. Take a look at the devices in the gallery bellow – they’re all fake, trying to represent real or in most cases we’re talking here, non-existent Nokia handsets. At the moment of this writing, I’m not aware there are Nokia N98, N83, E76, E83, and/or 5800 mini phones. These are simply work of Chinese handset cloners, designed to trick people into buying them. Take a close look at the each of the images bellow to avoid any purchasing decision you’ll regret later.

Specs wise, it’s fair to guess each one of the devices mentioned has the standard Chinese OS running the show, and there’s also Bluetooth, touchscreen, music/media player software, memory expansion, and two SIM card slots in some cases. Again, don’t buy any of these!

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.

    these chinese fakes have nothing on the real versions.

    my real 5800 has free GPS, 3D games, an accelerometer, great apps, mobile web, EDGE, 3G, radio with RDS, etc
