Fakes : N96 cloned even before the real thing is released

This was the post I had planned to put on two days ago,but instead of this I put the post about N95 8GB fake.Few weeks ago while I was chatting with a friend from China,he asked me “whats the price of N96 there in SL?”When I said yet it’s not available he replied that In china it is available and selling like hot cake.But at that time I really didn’t believe him,So last week he sent me these videos and two photos of the device so called N96 in china.While Nokia taking so much time to realese the N96 after announcing it,Chinese manufacturers had plenty of time to come up with exact replicas and they will be even more delighted to release their clone before the Real thing hits the market.In this video you can see how the fake device looks like when it is compared with a Dummy N96.As you can see the fake one is little bigger in dimensions,but not every buyer is aware of this,especially when there is no real N96 in the market to get an idea of it.So again China catching up with their growing fake mobile market and gets the full advantage of Nokia Marketing.So wouldn’t it be better to keep them as secrets until they are ready to come into the market?

Also I found this great coverage on cloned devices over here at Micky’s Blog
