Actually, don't laugh, I always think the knock-off iPhone are better than the iPhone and iPhone 3G, they have more features:
1. video recording
2. playback xvid, divx, rm
3. TV antenna to watch TV (it works, I've seen it)
4. front and rear camera
5. Chinese handwriting input
6. BT w/ A2DP
7. Some even have dual-sim slots
+ other regular address book, calendar, music and etc, all features in a phone for less than US$100
yeah an extra stylus would be nice. i actually liked the stylus for the n97 better, even though i lost it like 20 times. i was actually looking getting one of the knock of "blackberry storm types" for when i go on vaction in may. If customs steals my n900, i'd be highly upset..........
I emailed him a bunch of times asking if it was NEW Nokia N900. He assured me that it was, and it was "New In Box"
So, I ordered it. Payed him. Received a tracking number. The number was fake.
After a week or so of no updates on the tracking, and some lame excuses from him about suppliers not shipping or some nonsense, I filed a claim with paypal, and won.
In the mean time, I actually bought a N900 from Dell, and love it.
But today, the ebay phone actually came.
It the Java with .250M internal memory. It is about 95% the size of the N900. The form factor itself looks almost identical. The battery took some work to get into it, (but he sent me two, which I also believe are knockoffs). But I wasnt aware it was a fake until I saw the boot up screen, which was in portrait mode. A hyper hi pitched imitation of the nokia chime.
Once the "OS" loaded, it had the Windows wallpaper, and the Java style widgets.
It has two sim slots, which I originally thought was cool, but no idea what I would do with that.
The keyboard rarely lights up, and when it does, it seems to have 2 LEDs that light up only 1 key apiece.
The camera is hysterical. My LG CU500 from 5 years ago, with its 1.3MP camera takes far superior pictures.
This thing seems to be complete garbage.
So my question is..... What should I do with this? I assume the is no useful hardware in it.
Does anyone know what the hardware might actually be? Or how I can find out. I am willing to take it apart, but if someone already knows, could they tell me? I haven't been able to find any real specs on this.
