i fell victim to one of the n95-2 fakes on ebay before i bought a real n95-2 which is an excellent phone...
the fake actually looks quite good on the exterior but the inner workings of the phone itself is piss poor!!!

i'll post pictures of the fake in a minute.

One simple way to tell it's fake, that I've noticed before, is the lack of bright shiny gold contact-points (little gold-coloured circles) showing on the portion of green printed-circuit-board, visible under the SIM-holder... Note the amount of plain green board shown in the last pic of the group.

monkeyplay3k: Don't feel dumb - I reckon most people would be fooled by that one - looks pretty real that! I suppose if you never saw an 8gb before or didn't have one by the side of it, it would look quite convincing.

Any idea of the hardware specs?
CPU, RAM ?

How much did this phone set you back? About $150 ? (The N95-1 clone)

The software has been hacked, and Im unable to check anything related to the OS. Its cost me £80 delivered. An investment solely for reasearch, and will soon be handed to our daughter to play with.

Im just about to add some more photos, and videos to the PhotoBucket album.
