Just as we hinted last week, this time we’re dealing with fake Nokia phones, 5 of them to be more precise. Again — we’ve seen similar situations in the past — not all of the devices we’re going to present actually exist as original phones (actually only Nokia 8800 is clone in that sense). Still they borrow name, look and other elements of the Nokia brand and that makes them ripoffs. Let’s go:
- Nokia E86 L’Amour ripoff – it’s actually a decent looking phone for a ripoff. Kinda reminds me on the Moto RAZR, though it comes with Nokia logo and a touchscreen.
- Nokia 8800 Ferrari ripoff – and you thought no one can make the Nokia 8800 look ugly? Think again! This clone is available in red and blue color options and is actually called NOAIN. The font used is the one the Finnish giant uses.
- Nokia E91 ripoff – it’s called NCKAI and it resembles a non-existing phone. We’ve seen similar (original) devices running Windows Mobile, though.
- Nokia E69 ripoff – part of the “original” NCKIA Nseries, it’s an all-touchscreen clone no-one wants.
- Nokia N87 ripoff – another all-touchscreen handset, again “resembling” the nonexistent model.
