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

  • Nokia 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 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. ;)

Dusan Belic

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.
