We’re back with our “This week in fake devices” series. Again, we have 5 different clone devices, three of them “resembling” Sony Ericsson 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 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 XpressMusic models.

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.

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.
