N99 N99i Tri band Dual Sim Card TV Function Cell Phone
The audacity of handset cloners is unbelievable – the device pictured on the left is peddled by LightInTheBox and carries the slightly weird designation N99i.

This 100$ handset has a surprisingly rich feature set, but lacks one key component: a smart operating system…

Slim Phone with Monster Memory
N99i tri-band TV cell phone comes with 2GB of memory

A fantastic cell phone, the N99i comes with tri-band, dual SIM, TV, and camera as standard. But on top of that, this cool phone also comes with a monster 2GB memory card that makes watching movies, listening to music, and snapping pictures so much easier. Look out for extra discounts on this phone for bulk order!

I personally predict that these fakes will become a huge problem for Nokia and Android manufacturers alike in the future. As operating systems become a commodity, cheap rip-off manufacturers who save money by not providing customer support and/or government certifications will become more and more appealing to customers. The reasoning behind these decisions would be that a 100$ phone is easily replaceable – while the failure of an XPERIA X1 is highly annoying, the death of a 100$ handset would leave me cold…
