Nokia’s phones seem to be insanely popular with (Chinese) device pirates. The N79 actually was clones before it was released to the public…if that isn’t a testament to popularity, what is :).

However, clones now start to become a real threat for US and European handset buyers - the image below shows the so-called “CECT N95 (8GB Style) PDA Cell Phone Mobile Phone”:

The device is a 1:1 knock-off of Nokia’s famous N95-8 - but has significantly worse specs. For example, its camera has a resolution of just 1.3MP (the original has a 5MP one). S60 isn’t available either…

Shady online retailers sell this box for about 200$ - buyer, beware…
