Ive noticed that it is definately not factory setup. But then again i havent seen the repositories and packages available since i havent owned one yet. The chinese models OS dont even look close. The link provided is the clone i handled once. Its got the typical chinese skined OS.

I reckon that one's real.

WHere did the Office come from then lol.
Is this a NEW N900 or second hand and from what country did you buy it?
China mobiles are THAT good you would have to open the damm thing up unless you knew the traits.

I dont have the phone yet. The seller is sending the phone today and he sent me these pictures of it. I can identify within seconds of physically receiving the phone. I am exited i might get my n900 and anxious that I will be ripped off.

It's not fake; this is a fake.

Whoever owned it before you has put either Catorise or Mymenu on it and they've changed the default icons.

Wouldn't surprise me if the current owner turned up on this thread.

I figured it was original but with customizations. The chinese clones screen and os never look even close to those that have seen it. Unfortunately i havent had the phone yet.

thx hellnick as that echoed my previous points.... there are certain things copies just cant replicate..... even if the phone looks identical to the real deal.....

Well this is still not 100% safe that it is the real N900 but he has not got the phone yet so how can he tell, i would for sure be asking the seller why the menu is not original of an N900.
Is it possible for you to put the link to this ebay buy on here so we can all check it out?.

Hmmm it looks ok until the photo of the menu...... i don't have any 'System' icon on mine, unless its something installed as 3rd party software? But the other photo's look ok. However notice the numbers on the files from Imageshack.... they have not been taken one after another that's for certain. Could the seller be using downloaded images and not ones he has taken? Fingers crossed!

Have any of you guys been to China and seen just what they can do nowerdays? do you honestly think they cannot mimmic a true N900 menu?.
