You've got to laugh...

Although it looks vaguely like an N95 from the front, as soon as he starts turning it over and putting the battery in, etc, you see how poor the phone really is...

Plus in the video you never actually see him use the touch screen (or his face - odd that).

On a genuine N95 MicroSD goes in the side, it does not require removal of the battery. The 8gig has *NO* removable MicroSD, plus the phone is black, the screen slightly bigger and the controls smaller.

Power plug is on the bottom on a real one, not on the side.

Power button is on the top of a real one, not bottom right of the front keypad.

I'd be amazed if that thing can even actually make a phone call!

IP Wrongs?

Hold on, I was under the impression that intellectual property rights were a bad thing. 

I keep reading that IP Rights are bad, but proper enforcement of IP Rights would have saved a lot of people from these fake products.

Oh Wait, I've got it ... IP Rights are bad when it prevents you and me from stealing from companies, but IP Rights are good when it prevents companies from stealing from us or from other companies.

Right?

The battery goes where the camera is supposed to be.

I've seen a Nokia N99.

It had everything in it. Even bluetooth and an analog TV tuner but no Wi-Fi. It's really cheap cuz it was made by chinese ppl (Yeah, made in china. Cheap materials, cheap workforce etc). It's a fake one but works better than anything out there. Didn't buy it, feared it'd xplode in my hands. And no warranty :)

Buyer be aware

My girlfriend bought one of these on eBay a while ago (some are identified as clones, this one wasn't). She complained through Pay Pall and they asked her to send the phone back to the seller. She sent the phone back but didn't get a refund. In the end she was only covered for £150 from Pay Pal and lost out on about £100. The seller ended up with the phone and my girlfriend’s money.

Buyer be aware.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
