And again we’re continuing with our this week in fake devices series. Today we’re presenting you with 3 fake Sony Ericsson handsets, two of them “resembling” recent high-end models. Here they are:

  • Sony Ericsson H700 Walkman ripoff – “H” in a Walkman name? There’s no such thing. Plus, this candybar looks pretty basic to me with Walkman logo being simply added on top of it.
  • Sony Ericsson Aino clone – The fake Aino looks pretty much identical to the real thing. It is more plasticy, but overall even I could be tricked into believing it’s the phone made by the Swedes and Japanese.
  • Sony Ericsson Satio clone – this is where it gets really ugly. The Satio is super-capable device, boasting a 12 megapixel camera and Symbian S60 5th edition, whereas the fake version doesn’t come even close.

That’s about all we got for you this week. Next week, we’re probably covering some fake Nokias, so stay tuned…

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.
