This week we’re mixing it all together. Two fake Nokia devices are on the list and so are clones of certain Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Motorola models. As you can see, there are no “holly cows” for Chinese handset makers cloners. Let’s roll:

  • First comes the NOKLA E73, the device that clearly resembles Nokia E66, as you can see from the image bellow. There is no original Nokia E73 at the moment of this writing, but that doesn’t stop NOKLA from envisioning it.
  • Then there’s another “futuristic” Nokia ripoff – the N99 model, which again doesn’t exists as a device made by the Finnish giant. The company behind this “project” think when this phone is released, it will be an all-touchscreen device.
  • The popular belief says that NOKLA makes fake Nokia devices. That’s not necessarily true, as today we’re presenting you the handset which is called NOKLAK900+ and is actually “resemblance” of the Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot model.
  • Fake Samsung S8300 is another device on our today’s list. Here we have something we could even call innovation, as the Chinese company behind the project thought Samsung forgot to add a dual-sliding mechanism to the device. They’ve fixed that in their “version.”
  • Finally, Motorola Ming is cloned as well. What’s interesting about this clone is the presence of the Verizon logo. Weird.

As expected, all these phones come with QVGA touchscreen, Bluetooth support, microSD memory card support, and possibly two SIM card slots.

See you next week in another edition of this week in fake devices. ;)
