This week in fake devices: We’re mixing it all together, again

We’re back with our “This week in fake devices” series. Again, we have 5 different clone devices, three of them “resembling” Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) handsets, and two non-existing phone ripoffs which only “borrow” famous brands. Let’s roll:
- Sony Ericsson S312 clone – how low can they (Chinese cloners) go? The S312 is an affordable device by itself, part of the SE’s low-end Snapshot series.
- Blackberry (NSDQ: RIMM) Windows Mobile – not exactly a clone, since there’s no such original device. It seems this phone runs Windows Mobile, but has a Blackberry button. Go figure.
- Sony Ericsson W995 ripoff – the clone of one of the best feature phones on the market. This “version” seems to run some kind of Samsung’s TouchWIZ user interface. I doubt either Sony Ericsson or Samsung has anything to do with it.
- Louis Vuitton flip phone – nope, it’s not an original device, though I must admit it doesn’t look that bad. It’s a thin clamshell that reminds me on some Japanese models.
- Sony Ericsson Walkman ripoff – branding is stolen from Sony Ericsson, while some design lines root from low-end Nokia (NYSE: NOK) XpressMusic models.
- Sony Ericsson S312 clone
- Blackberry Windows Mobile
- Sony Ericsson W995 ripoff
- Louis Vuitton flip phone
- Sony Ericsson Walkman ripoff
And that’s all we got for you this week. As you can guess for yourself, most (if not all) of the devices above come with Bluetooth support, dual-SIM card slot, microSD memory expansion, media/music player, and so on. The only problem is the spotty quality, and that copyright infringement thing.
