The worst part is, they print the brands on the device as if those components are legit.

You'd think so, but then you research and understand Chinese business practice then you realise it's not ripping off, not from their view point.

It's just the poor business strategy of western companies that rely on pussy laws and bribes to governments to protect them instead of them protecting themselves with good choices.

Nokia owns the copyright on their name. The also own the OS which is also probably ripped off. The hardware possibly camme from the same factory as made the real Nokias.

The amount of lost revenue to major marques such as Rolex, Dior, etc. is enormous.

These are illegal copies and you can get arrested in some part sof the world for owning fakes from these big marques.

Hopefully the people making Mokias will soon get their butts kicked but, I doubt it. ]]>May 30th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/
N8 is not a Nokia flagship phone. How many times does Engadget have to be told of this simple fact?? Coz what I am afraid is then Engadget will go "oooh...look how bad the flagship Nokia phone is compared to xyz blah blah blah..." when in fact it never was announced as a flagship. Same thing goes for every complaint where Symbian^3 is expected to be a revolutionary new UI or the N900 being a flagship mass market device, when Nokia announcements have always been to the contrary.

I think as a tech blog, the editors to pay more attention to official press releases before putting their spin on it.]]>May 30th 2010 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/

Somehow I dont think Rolex are 'losing' a bunch of money to fakes... Anyone who buys a Rolex is buying it to show people how great they are, a fake hardly achieves that.

Well, no. They made it this way to allow for decent camera optics. Then the did not add a cover but opted for scratch proof material to keep it from becoming thicker. What is your point really? It is too thick in 1 place, so lets add a cover we do not need?]]>May 30th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/keepin-it-real-fake-n8-available-now-only-not-from-nokia/
