This week in fake devices: Mixing it all together, again

By Dusan Belic on Saturday, August 8th, 2009 at 8:50 AM PST In Clone/rip, Devices

And again we’re continuing with our this week in fake devices series. Here’s what we’ve prepared for you today:

  • Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E76 dual slider ripoff – E76? dual-slider? C’mon, only few NSeries devices come with that.
  • Vertu Jaguar ripoff – it’s not a first fake Jaguar phone we’ve seen, but the first one which is also a Vertu device. Looks like the Nokia 8800 to me.
  • Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) W705 clone – keys look pretty much identical, but the big “Bluetooth” sign clearly points it’s a fake phone.
  • Diamond Nokia E71 clone – actually it’s NCKIA not NOKIA, and its keys are somewhat different from the original device. Heck, you can even say it looks more like the E55 than E71.
  • Sony Ericsson VAIO ripoff – all-touchscreen clone which made me thinking – yap I want the VAIO phone (but the real deal, of course). That would be awesome.

And that’s about all we have time this week. Next week we’re continuing…

P.S. If you haven’t figured out – you should avoid buying any of these at any cost. ;)
