Keepin' it real fake, part CLXVII: the BlueBerry is exactly what you think

by Chris Ziegler posted Jan 12th 2009 at 11:16PM

We'd heard the BlueBerry was a no-name nav unit, but the exciting world of knock-offs moves faster than a speeding bullet -- and these days, it's taking the form of a Bold. Just $164.99 buys you a phone with a QVGA display, microSD slot, and twice as many SIM slots as the real thing -- oh, and about as much Exchange support as your uncle's avocado green AT&T Slimline. We'll take two.

I'd bet one of these that if there some knockoffs of ZTE phones, the Chinese government would be putting the fakers in jail for 350 years for copyright infringement. I'm guessing that RIM didn't buy off the right officals, eh?

I wish it ran Windows Mobile. I like the BB Bold form factor. I hope this is the first of many clones.

Here's the video of this model in action...
