We have five devices to present / warn you of in our “This week week in fake devices” post. Without further ado, here they are:

  • Nokia E51 clone – looks quite real, though more plasticy.
  • iPhone with full QWERTY ripoff – think of it as the Nokia E71 more than the iPhone.
  • New Blackberry clone – looks pretty decent. As I can recall there’s one HP device which looks like this.
  • WALL-E mobile phone ripoff – all-touchscreen handset which seems to have S60-like icons. Is it a Symbian device? I doubt, but you never know.
  • Touch Pro 2 clone – Looks pretty much identical, although icons on the buttons are gray, as opposed to white.

All of the devices mentioned come with a touchscreen (except the iPhone with full QWERTY ripoff), Bluetooth support, microSD memory card slot and so on. As usual, we must warn you of the spotty quality usually known for these kinds of phones. Avoiding buying them is your best bet…

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.
