Re: Fake N900
 

I wonder how many people will be stupid enough to buy it.

Re: Fake N900
 

Now, that's a phone! The n900 owners who are not happy with the n900 phone features, should get that one :-)

Re: Fake N900
 

It says "N900 style", so it's not fake, it's something else :)

Re: Fake N900
 

I'm looking for a second phone to use when i'm out cycling/in the gym, so I don't risk dropping my N900.
This looks perfect. In a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Geez... all they did was mockup an existing N900 photo. I'm betting if you ordered the product it would look very different.

Re: The worst N900 knock off ever!
 

Came up a few days ago. Bet someone will still buy it.
Fake N900

Re: The worst N900 knock off ever!

"TV-Enabled - Powerful analog antenna picks up your favorite TV channels for free!"

OMG were we robbed, I want this feature on my N900 immediately.

Re: The worst N900 knock off ever!
 

The ripoff is just silly in specs and stuff, but I found one that does look nice on colors.

Re: The worst N900 knock off ever!
 

I wouldn't be surprised if the N900 marking on the face is deviated to N000(!) instead :)

The knock off thread "The worst N900 knock off ever!" with eleven posts has been merged into this thread.

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

Actually, don't laugh, I always think the knock-off iPhone are better than the iPhone and iPhone 3G, they have more features:
1. video recording
2. playback xvid, divx, rm
3. TV antenna to watch TV (it works, I've seen it)
4. front and rear camera
5. Chinese handwriting input
6. BT w/ A2DP
7. Some even have dual-sim slots
+ other regular address book, calendar, music and etc, all features in a phone for less than US$100

Re: The worst N900 knock off ever!
 

No, actually, it's 006N :D

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

But perhaps they sell replacement styluses for the fake?

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

yeah an extra stylus would be nice. i actually liked the stylus for the n97 better, even though i lost it like 20 times. i was actually looking getting one of the knock of "blackberry storm types" for when i go on vaction in may. If customs steals my n900, i'd be highly upset..........

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

Alright, so here is the situation. I really wanted a N900, and wanted one for as cheap as possible. I saw this ebay ad:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I emailed him a bunch of times asking if it was NEW Nokia N900. He assured me that it was, and it was "New In Box"

So, I ordered it. Payed him. Received a tracking number. The number was fake.

After a week or so of no updates on the tracking, and some lame excuses from him about suppliers not shipping or some nonsense, I filed a claim with paypal, and won.


In the mean time, I actually bought a N900 from Dell, and love it.


But today, the ebay phone actually came.


It the Java with .250M internal memory. It is about 95% the size of the N900. The form factor itself looks almost identical. The battery took some work to get into it, (but he sent me two, which I also believe are knockoffs). But I wasnt aware it was a fake until I saw the boot up screen, which was in portrait mode. A hyper hi pitched imitation of the nokia chime.


Once the "OS" loaded, it had the Windows wallpaper, and the Java style widgets.


It has two sim slots, which I originally thought was cool, but no idea what I would do with that.


The keyboard rarely lights up, and when it does, it seems to have 2 LEDs that light up only 1 key apiece.



The camera is hysterical. My LG CU500 from 5 years ago, with its 1.3MP camera takes far superior pictures.



This thing seems to be complete garbage.



So my question is..... What should I do with this? I assume the is no useful hardware in it.


Does anyone know what the hardware might actually be? Or how I can find out. I am willing to take it apart, but if someone already knows, could they tell me? I haven't been able to find any real specs on this.



Any uses other than a paperweight?

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

soo FAKE, dont waste ur money

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

contact paypal and tell them its fake and you want money back. if you paid via credit card contact card company and ask for chargeback

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

You deserved to be fooled - just looking at those pics is a sure enough way of telling it is not the real thing.

Anyway... one of my colleagues bought a similar iPhone ripoff - she knew what she was getting and she only wanted to have something cheap with a touch screen. It does have two SIM slots also, which at first seems to be cool but....
...it only works with 2G SIMs!!!! :D:D:D

So... paperweight, yes.

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

sell it on ebay :D

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

The only way you could tell it is fake from the pics, is if you already have one, and know exactly what the UI looks like. I didn't have one at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to that. Perhaps I should have been more careful.


My actual concern was that it was used, and not NEW. I hadn't even heard of the knockoffs until now.

If you read, I already bought it.



If you read, I already filed a claim and won. I got my money back. Then later received this. So, it is free now.





So, back to my original question. Is there anything I can do with this? I wouldn't try to sell it on ebay as an N900. If I were to sell it, I would sell it as a knockoff for $150, or whatever they are going for.


Anyone have anything useful to say?

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

lol, those fake n900's go all the way up to $500 - 599usd or more on ebay :S, also it seems that the majority of original n900's are still over priced on ebay...

Re: Fake / Knock Off N900
 

I wouldn't sell it on ebay.





Craigslist? Maybe.
