It's a fake N85 or N95 with a "N900" label instead and with the added features of analog (yes, analog) TV, a 320x240 screen and S60. Also no 3G, wifi or keyboard. It's so bad it's pretty funny except to whoever gets burnt buying this fei-oo*. It seems like Nokia phones get copied a lot so no surprises.

I'm sooo tempted to go to the engadget thread to ask if it has a resistive or capacitive screen.

Naah, we don't have any. We're sticking to the old Analog at least 5 years more :)

It probably has both. When one fails to register a press, the other registers two... :D

Firefly references get automatic Thanks! from me, regardless of the content from which the reference is included.

From "Out of Gas":
Zoe: You paid money for this... On purpose?
Mal: Come on, Zoe. Serious. Whaddya think?
Zoe: Honestly, sir. I think you were robbed.
Mal: Robbed? What, no. What do you mean?
Zoe: Sir, it's a piece of fei-oo.

That's what I thought of when I saw that fake: "Dude, you actually paid money for that?" =)

BTW for those that haven't seen Firefly the first five episodes are on Hulu. It's really worth watching.

It should be noted that the first episode is really hard to get through (I would listen to the audio while doing something else), but after that it's a really great show that got cut short way too soon (like every other show Summer Glau was in... TTSCC, the 4400, to name a few). Also, the Firefly movie, Serenity, was pretty good as well.

Sorry tho, only one Firefly Thanks! per user.
