Keepin' it real fake, part CLXVI: the Sany Ericssan X1 with Wyndowz Mobil

Strategic advantages Sany Ericssan holds over Sony Ericsson:

• A quarterly sales volume measured in the hundreds is considered a rousing success.
• Neither Sany nor Ericssan have any intention of pulling out of the joint venture.
• "Outsourcing" of industrial design saves time, money, and staff.
• None of those pesky Windows Mobile licensing fees to worry about.
• GPRS data speed isn't a problem -- it's a way of life.

Sany me up.

[Samboini @ Nov 14th 2008 2:32PM]

You on your period?

[shane @ Nov 14th 2008 3:36PM]

How do they keep doing this?? People must be buying this krud!

[Interpol @ Nov 14th 2008 2:31PM]

Super-mega epic fail.

[Bender @ Nov 14th 2008 2:36PM]

i find that offensive.

[Upp @ Nov 14th 2008 2:30PM]

Sany! Keepin it fake.

[Valicore @ Nov 14th 2008 2:30PM]

LOLOLOL. Biggest rip-off ever! That wonderful looking camera has a full megapixel's worth of resolution! Triband 900/1800/1900. Works on T-Mobile and Cingular (according to them). No web browser either. Hmmmmmm.

[Valicore @ Nov 14th 2008 2:35PM]

I must say I would like to meet this "Eric San"! Hajimemashite Eric San!

[Scott @ Nov 17th 2008 12:42PM]

Even at 1 megapixel, I bet the sensor outperforms the lense. Megapixels are like shiny keys. The more a camera has, the more likely a consumer is to giggle and drool mindlessly.

I'm just sayin...

[Temo @ Nov 14th 2008 2:31PM]

dude this looks sweet. I wounder if it comes with lead inside to make sure it weights as much as the real one.

[Todd @ Nov 16th 2008 1:44AM]

hehe, good question.. wonder how much it weighs

[Verified Insanity @ Nov 17th 2008 9:10PM]

It includes lead, alright.

But not for that reason, exactly.

[Fusion Fuzo @ Nov 14th 2008 2:35PM]

'Sany Ericssan Wyndowz Mobil'

and people accuse me of bad spelling

[lawyer bird @ Nov 14th 2008 3:09PM]

whoosh!

[ZenStyleJunglist @ Nov 14th 2008 4:36PM]

^^^ I think the whoosh! goes to you.

[konshuss @ Nov 14th 2008 5:14PM]

supposing this wasn't simply an over-their-head accusation against Engadget for spelling the proper names wrong; even if this is a straight-forward commentary on bad spelling of fake products - at most that deserves a hearty "duhhhhhh".

[soulsaber @ Nov 14th 2008 2:40PM]

Sweet, instead of the cybershot and walkman branding, it has a vaio label!!

[Neumann @ Nov 14th 2008 2:48PM]

Not to mention the Alpha DSLR label...Now how do I release the lens to swap in my 18 mm super wide macro lens???

[Marijn @ Nov 14th 2008 2:49PM]

Not only that, it also has an Alpha logo.

In a way, that seems more appropriate than Sony's own Carl Zeiss branding on crummy cellphone camera lenses that have never been near a Carl Zeiss factory.

[Phil @ Nov 14th 2008 2:41PM]

I use A, B, X and Y buttons all the time...on my SNES.

[Patriks7 @ Nov 14th 2008 2:45PM]

This must be the fastest fake ever.. I mean didn't it officially get to stores couple weeks ago?

[scott @ Nov 14th 2008 3:19PM]

the iphone had clones when it was still just a render.

[Toan @ Nov 14th 2008 2:48PM]

Upcoming plans for Sany, the PlayMotion 3! Quickly followed by its portable counter part PMP!!! It's gonna be a good 2009 for Sany.

[Mr. B @ Nov 14th 2008 2:57PM]

It needs more labels.

[phanbouy @ Nov 14th 2008 4:00PM]

and cowbell

[zmjjmz @ Nov 14th 2008 3:18PM]

What the hell is Wyndowz Mobil then? A Linux distro? Symbian?

[htd @ Nov 14th 2008 3:07PM]

this looks like a pretty good design for a psp phone to me...

[Oatterz @ Nov 14th 2008 3:21PM]

LOL EPIC FAKE!

I LOVE FAKES, Im gonna start a collection. Theyre so funny to show people.

Someone needs to email these chinese ripoff artists to make funnier names. Im seriously gonna buy one of these for sheer novelty. THEY NEED TO USE "SANY LOLICSSON" FOR THEIR NEXT MODEL

These people need to add a little more humor in their fakes and I guarentee they will sell more lol.

[My mom's an Ericssan @ Nov 14th 2008 3:22PM]

Package includes:

1 x English manual

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT?

[w4rh34rt @ Nov 14th 2008 3:26PM]

Haha, it has an 8.o Mega Pixel Camera! I'm with some of the others, I would never buy one of these fake clone things, but they sure as hell make me laugh. I'd love to meet someone who actually has one of these =]

Lol.

[w4rh34rt @ Nov 14th 2008 3:27PM]

Lol, I meant 8.0 Mega Pixel. No idea what 8.o means haha.

[JS @ Nov 14th 2008 6:08PM]

If you visit their website, the specsheet for this 25mm thick monstrosity says the camera is really just 1 MP. Even more deception.

[Brendan @ Nov 14th 2008 5:27PM]

Sany. Fake Like No other

[ShinyShiny @ Nov 14th 2008 3:33PM]

At least, it sounds so much better than Sammeng and Samsumg or SQNY... LOL...

[GaryZ @ Nov 14th 2008 3:40PM]

I'm off to register emgadget.com.cn...

[dcoaster @ Nov 14th 2008 3:41PM]

It's hard to believe this is actually true.

[phrank @ Nov 14th 2008 3:46PM]

8.o is an animoticon for some old-timey steampunky villain with a flip-up monacle.

[Christian @ Nov 14th 2008 4:04PM]

Is this even real? It's so over the top with too much integrated technology (that almost everyone here wished for) that it seems to be a fake of a fake now...

VAIO+X1+Walkman+Cybershot+etc...

And does that telescopic lense or stationary that way?

[Phreak @ Nov 14th 2008 4:14PM]

But that begs the question...Will it play Crysis?

[Valicore @ Nov 14th 2008 4:22PM]

Yes, but only in the Chinese version of Crysis' "pong emulation mode".

[Rogue_Genius @ Nov 14th 2008 4:21PM]

Wait, it also TILTS!!!

[Ricardo @ Nov 14th 2008 4:23PM]

"Bluetooth earphone is only can supports the master SIM card calls but not the slave SIM card"

Sadly, the phone doesn't seem to have grammar correction. Or the default language is Chinglish.

[Anthony-E @ Nov 14th 2008 4:45PM]

lol don't you mean Engrish?

[waterboy99troop @ Nov 14th 2008 11:35PM]

definitely engrish... chinglish is a mix of actual chinese and english, which you can hear spoken in most chinese homes in north america...

[sotec_productions @ Nov 14th 2008 4:32PM]

This is a prototypo as well. The final product will slide out once more and reveal a full QWURTY keeboord with a trakkpad!

(Star Trek Communicator sold seperately)

[DJ Unkle @ Nov 14th 2008 5:30PM]

Damn! Why didn't you tell me it's also a widescreen TV -- complete with antenna and 3D stereo surrounding!

When I first saw the photo, I thought that was a spork on the left -- I was happy enough just getting a Swiss army knife in the mix, but now...

[GingerFox @ Nov 14th 2008 4:58PM]

why do they put a viao logo on it? makes little sense lmao

[ark_v2 @ Nov 14th 2008 5:23PM]

Optical zoom....
Sony ericsson should learn :p

[ssjchar @ Nov 14th 2008 5:26PM]

That would make the best worst christmas present ever. WANT

[Endeavour @ Nov 14th 2008 6:09PM]

They forgot the VRABIA sticker!
