I am pretty sure i speak for most of us here when i say we all appreciate the research you have done into Nokia clones and trying to make people aware of them, and thus helping people "pre-purchase".

I don't know if it's just me, but I would never pay over £100 for any electrical product which wasn't supplied from a reputable supplier. Without sounding too harsh, and as I've stated in previous posts, you get what you pay for.

Sadly purp, there are many people who genuinely get conned by purchasing a clone being advertised as genuine.

For those people other the other hand that are looking for an ultimate bargain however, they too fall prey to them also, but those who buy a clone intentionally, thinking they are the same as the genuine Nokia handset, and trying to save a pretty penny, then more fool them.

The old saying goes, "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is"

I have seen time and time again, sellers advertising clones stating they are genuine, but the Chinese version, which comes without WiFi or GPS, but the fact is, they don't run on Symbian, and not made by Nokia. They are a clone, and this has been proven on here, and elsewhere.

If I had a spare £100, I would definately buy one. Despite all the bad points, living in a rural and mountainous area notourious for poor coveraage, as I've always said, I'm fascinated by the twin sim option that seems standard on all of the cloned trash.

That said, I too appreciate all the research you've done mate.

It's Broke?

Did you know that your Nokia comes with a 2 year warranty? Did you know that Carphone Warehouse are Nokia Repair Centres?
Damage from normal use: wobbly slider, broken keys, quiet earpiece etc... will be repaired for free, and usually the same day if you take it to a big store!

You are having a bad month.!

Do you have your brother clone to hand by any chance Sammy? PM me if you do, as I would like to get some photos of it from you if at all possible?
