Keepin’ it real fake: Nokia’s N8 beaten to release by lackluster knockoff

All together now: “Already?” KIRFers overseas are getting quicker and quicker with their knockoffs, and at this point, it’s safe to say that you’ll have an easier time wrapping your hands around a commendable Nokia N8 impostor than the real-deal. The outside looks an awful lot like Nokia’s first major Symbian^3-based handset, but the specifications are decidedly lackluster: you’ll get a 400 x 240 resolution display (3.2-inches), an MP4 player, FM radio, Bluetooth, webcam and a battery that’ll last three to five hours. Glaringly absent is a 12 megapixel camera, WiFi module and built-in 3G support, but it’s not like that stuff really matters — after all, what else would you expect for an unsubsidized price of just $105? Head on past the break for a video, rockstar.
