Keepin' it real fake, part LIX: E-PDA V16 mocks Nokia N95

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 12th 2007 at 7:47AM

Can't afford the $750 or so required to pick up a Nokia N95 right now? Fret not, as the Chinese knockoff factories have been workin' overtime in order to crank out a somewhat similar alternative to fit the bill. The E-PDA V16 comes in a bit larger than the authentic iteration and includes a three-inch QVGA touchscreen, three-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, multimedia player, and a touch of tacky to top things off. Of course, any of your pals that are in the know won't be impressed by your futile attempts to fool 'em, but considering that this thing won't cost you nearly as much coin as the real deal, it might be worth the embarrassment (or not). Catch a few more snapshots of the impostor after the jump.

Ha ha, all fake phones in China have the same stupid shortcuts on the bottom (watching a commercial now and have the same interface). My all time favorie is a company called America Apple, which is an MP3 player compnay in China that claims to have an office in California. I called the company and it turned out to be a furniture company!

I really have no idea if it'll be exactly the same for the knock off, but Tigerdirect.com has the links for the N95 manuals.

Quick note...its not the same and the instructions for the n95 I am sure didn't help. I have some questions as I am about to buy one myself. First, how do you like it. problems with the unit. Would you buy it again if you had it to do over again. I have heard from two different people that it does have wi-fi and others that it does not. Most of the articles are coming from one location. I would really be interested in your take on the E-PDA V16.
