We’re starting our little series here. Last Sunday was the first time we summed up some of the fake handsets we caught during the week, and now it’s time for the sequel. Again, we’re showcasing five devices: Nokia E99 – fake of a fake, cause there is no the original E99 Nokia N66 Superman phone…
This week in fake Nokia devices: N98, N83, E76, E83, 5800 mini
It’s the end of the week and we’re here to offer some solid advice, or at least try to do so. Take a look at the devices in the gallery bellow – they’re all fake, trying to represent real or in most cases we’re talking here, non-existent Nokia handsets. At the moment of this writing,…
LG Cookie Clone: The LC KP5000
Looks like the same folks that put together the LG Renoir Clone have moved forward and pieced together a clone of the LG Cookie as well! That’s right, the LC KP5000 is the newest clone to hit the market, and is a clear knock-off of the LG Cookie KP500. The LC KP5000 comes complete with…
Vertu Ferrari phone gets its fake counterpart, again
If you’re like me, you love Ferrari and hence always look forward to any Ferrari-branded devices. Nokia’s Vertu Ferrari phone is certainly impressive but way beyond my budget. How about something similar and cheaper? “Sure,” you may be thinking, but this time that won’t lead you anywhere. We’re talking about a yet another fake/clone device…
Nokia E51 gets cloned
At some point in the future, we’ll be able to buy a clone “version” of every handset on the market. Lately, we’ve spotted the fake Nokia E51, which is pretty affordable device in its original form. That said, I’m not sure what are the Chinese handset cloners thinking. Somehow I can understand cloning high-end models,…
Knock-Off G1 Lacks Slide-Out Keyboard
We’ve all seen fake devices before, so this one is certainly no shocker… But I found it somewhat humorous nonetheless. The device pictured above (and below) is a clear knock-off that not only mimics the hardware styling, but it runs a knockoff version of Android as well! Kind of funny, when you consider Android is…
Fake Nokia N97i found in China, doesn’t look that bad at all
“Good ol’” Chinese handset cloners are getting better with the day. Their latest “work” mimics Nokia’s latest flagship device, N97, and honestly doesn’t look that bad. I’m not sure whether I should talk like that about something that’s obviously blatant forgery, but when you look at the image above, and few more images bellow, you’ll…
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gets cloned, again
Again and again, we see certain Chinese handset makers cloning their way to the marketplace. One of the latest devices we’ve spotted is called Nokla 5800, and as you can guess for yourself, it tries to mimic Nokia’s all-touchscreen smartphone. However, the Chinese “designers” went one step further, obviously trying to make the handset more…
There’s no such thing as Lamborghini Vertu phone!
This is what happens when certain Chinese “designers” start using their imagination. Instead of going for something really original, they decided to mix two high-end brands, hoping no one will notice. Or at least, I don’t know how else to explain the existence of the fake Lamborghini Vertu phone. Actually, when you think about it…
NokiPhone N3000i is 50% Nokia N95, 50% iPhone, 100% fake
What do we have here? An innovative device that combines two great products to create something even better? Errr…. NO! Sure, elements from two great devices were used — dual-slider mechanism from the likes of Nokia N95, N96, N85, or N86; and iPhone-like user interface — but the end result is kinda fugly, and that’s…
