Exclamation Watch it! Nokia N95 8GB cloned to perfection BEWARE new buyers...

Certain Chinese handset manufacturers are getting better and better in their cloning efforts. Lately was spotted an almost identical “version” of the Nokia’s flagship N95 8GB smartphone. The fake device has some weird-looking buttons and also shady marks. Other than that, it’s practically the same. Except that the built quality isn’t there, and neither is the mobile OS (Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1) and the suite of pre-installed apps. So watch out folks, this is getting seriously out of control… From Intomobile.com

Yeah the problem is these are sold on Ebay, they take pictures of a real phone for the listing but send you one of these.
So yeah if the price is to good to be true, you'll get one of these.

Do they media slide buttons look like that on the N95 8GB? Or do they just look the same as the N95-1?

i think they are but the writing on the upper front that says N95 8GB is a little bigger than the original.

You certainly would not know at first glance. I suspect many will be caught out by this!

Regardless of it may be a cheaper deal on ebay, why run the risk? Id rather pay more to get exactly what i want!
