Even though the Nokia N8 and iPhone 4G are still not available for purchase — heck, Apple’s handset is not even officially announced — that doesn’t stop the Chinese cloners to their best with what they’ve seen. Hence, we have clones of the two highly anticipated devices being already released.

The Nokia N8 clone looks pretty much as a real thing, except that specs wise – it’s a completely different beast. We’re talking about a device with a 3.2-inch 240×400 pixels touchscreen (instead of nHD – 360×640), Bluetooth, media player, FM radio and some camera which definitely counts way less pixels than the original N8. Chinese website 0755gf asks $105 for the phone.

As for the iPhone 4G clone, it looks way uglier than the real deal we saw thanks to Gizmodo. Specs are unknown, though I doubt they are on par with Apple’s product. Price, however, is known and it’s 780 CNY, which is about $115 (website link).

There you have it folks. Don’t get fooled into buying any of these. If a deal sounds too good to be true… it probably is.
