Keepin' it real fake, part LXXV: MA-727 apes Samsung's T9B

There's blatant knockoffs, and then there's blatant knockoffs. As you can probably tell, this is most certainly a case of the latter, as the so-called creators of the MA-727 didn't even bother to take their own photo. Instead, it looks pretty clear that they simply doctored Samsung's own snapshot of the T9B, threw a pink miniSD card down beneath, and called it original. Sure, it can supposedly handle just about every format under the sun and touts a 2.4-inch display, built-in speaker, FM tuner, voice recorder, rechargeable Li-ion, and anywhere between 128MB and 2GB of internal storage, but we wouldn't recommend pulling the trigger on this one unless you've got more money than sense.

[Matt @ Sep 3rd 2007 8:44PM]

Where can i get that pink mini SD card?

[Zal @ Sep 3rd 2007 9:07PM]

Why is it sticking its tongue out at me?

[Ratchet the Lombax @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:54PM]

It's making fun of you for buying a cheap knockoff product. :)

[ark_v2 @ Sep 3rd 2007 9:09PM]

The specs don't say bluetooth...what about the screen? lol

[Nitin Kumar @ Sep 3rd 2007 9:48PM]

I dont know abt the fake part but the series sure is revising my roman numerals. LXXXV to say 85.. hmm could we have used XVC, instead. just wondering?

[paul34 @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:17PM]

I do not believe so. It is LXXX for 80, then XC for 90. So I believe they are correct.

[John @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:38PM]

That's not how you count in roman numerals.

[egloskerry @ Sep 3rd 2007 9:58PM]

Who knew that the charging port on the T9 is also a MicroSD slot!

[JeffDM @ Sep 3rd 2007 10:32PM]

It doesn't even take a close inspection to notice that there is a major mismatch here. The artifacts on the little card are considerably more severe than that on the phone, the text is blurry, though the phone's not looking very clean either.

[B166Er @ Sep 4th 2007 1:53AM]

Its... not... a phone... and neither is the T9B. Lost.

[Aarun @ Sep 3rd 2007 11:34PM]

Does the fake even have bluetooth?? (re: Logo in pic and ref. original device!)

[Erik @ Sep 4th 2007 12:10AM]

thats so bad its not even laughable.

[Ed @ Sep 4th 2007 12:25AM]

my buddy just bought one of these (the real one that is). I wonder what the UI is like on the fake ones.

[Dan @ Sep 4th 2007 12:33AM]

Who buys this crap? And why would a self respecting company make it?

[Sauerkraut @ Sep 4th 2007 12:59AM]

Where they fail is they forget to market a hot asian girl with it lol

[omga14 @ Sep 4th 2007 1:45AM]

get the hot asian chick in the marketing photos and i'll buy one. think that's how i bought this strange japanese game show series.

[754Boy @ Sep 4th 2007 2:36AM]

Looks lame!!
