Fake Nokia N97 is fake, tiny, buggy... and fake

What do you get if you stick a Nokia N97 in the dryer on high heat for an hour, rip the keyboard off with your bare hands, and replace S60 with a seemingly random stream of digital puke? Probably something akin to this little bugger, we'd reckon. Nothing worked, the display was wigging out, and we'd gotten it to the point where all we could do was draw red lines and watch random blocks of noise appear on screen -- awesome by Keepin' It Real Fake standards, yes, but not awesome if you're actually trying to make a call. Our recommendation: don't get any closer to this thing than the video you're about to watch after the break.

I really wish Engadget wouldn't write Nokia so many times in this post. This imitation model is nowhere close to the real thing. It doesn't even appear as if it slides out.

So who makes this POS? And was that the phone rep there fixing it? They didn't seem to care that their product was failing.
