And we’re continuing our fake device series. We have 4 handsets to present this week and they are:

  • Lamborghini mobile phone ripoff – certainly not the first Lamborghini-branded fake device we’ve seen. It’s fugly, as you’re about to see.
  • Tag Heuer mobile phone clone – super cheap looking “version” of the original (and expensive) Tag Heuer handset.
  • Rado mobile phone ripoff – I haven’t heard Rado has made a mobile phone. That, however, hasn’t stopped certain Chinese cloners pursuing their own “vision” of such a device.
  • Decepticon mobile phone ripoff – robots are back. After seeing the Autobot phone, it’s time for some Decepticon action. Or is it?

As usual, it’s our duty to warn you not to be fooled into buying any of these. It’s not only a question of quality, but also of common sense…

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.
