Again we bring you the story about fake devices. Five models this time – all different, all 100% fake. Here they are:

  • Lenovo O1 clone – I’m not sure this is a clone at all. It looks quite legit, but you should be warned that this is the China only device at this stage and if you see it available for purchase elsewhere, it’s probably a fake.
  • Another Transformers mobile phone ripoff – all-touchscreen model which proudly bears the Transformers logo on the back. No license fees were paid, as far as we know.
  • Lamborghini clock mobile phone ripoff – it’s a clamshell, it’s a watch, it has a Raging Bull on the front, yet the quality is spotty, to say the least.
  • Another Ferrari mobile phone ripoff – that numeric keypad which goes in circle is ridiculous for anything Ferrari branded, gotta admit.
  • Snoopy mobile phone ripoff – this actually looks pretty cool. You can think of it as a perfect handset for children. Too bad it’s a clone.

And that wraps it up. Hope you’ll never be tricked into buy any of these…

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.
