And we’re continuing with our “This week in fake devices” series. Today we’re mixing it all together by presenting you four brands and four clones. Let’s get rolling:
- Samsung Pixon – what’s notable about this “version” is the optical zoom on the camera, though I doubt it makes better images when compared to the original device.
- LG KM900 Arena – unlike the original Arena which prides itself with WVGA touchscreen, this clone comes with a standard QVGA display and is much thicker.
- Sony Ericsson Idou – don’t count on the Symbian Foundation platform with the fake device. Also forget about 12 megapixel camera and other goodies Idou aka Satio packs.
- Vertu K73 – I’m not sure whether this is a clone at all, since there’s no K73 model made by Nokia’s luxury arm. Still, because it “borrows” the Vertu branding, we can’t consider it as a real contender.

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.
