and even if it isn’t authentic, Chinese fakes have been known to look very much like the real thing (ie: shoes, watches, cars). Thus, while the phone itself isn’t real, the look of it might be real, you know? not justifying or defending anybody, just throwing that out for when the n79 launches.

the fact that its fake doesnt take away from the appeal factor. I really think it looks good.

it really is ugly, however, the keypad looks very txt friendly.

Guys…website you linked clearly said it was a high quality fake N79, no need to feel sorry, chinese is difficult…heheee…looks exactly the same, right? It’s actually very common, just wandering around shanghai’s electronics store, u can see n95 selling for 500 CNY (about 50 Eur), the fake phone producer even faked some of the interface, like the camera ui the picture shown, they are mostly based on MTK platform….

Zach,

You may want to have your China contacts check this one out. One of the photo captions is “假冒的诺基亚N79″ which translates to “Fake N79″.

Not sure if the pics are of the real deal or not, but, yea, double check…

I think this phone is awesome! I mean, I wonder what that little black dot is on the front of the phone (I imagine it to be a camera for video calling) and I also wonder if it is shaped like a Blackberry Curve in how it fits in the palm of your hand. And since we’re just going off of pictures in this one, I am looking at the little part to the left of the “Call” button on the side and can’t help but wonder if that protrudes out a bit from the side of the phone. If so, is that something that might get caught or bumped on the side of my pants as I remove it from my pocket?

I do think it’s a phone that I can keep in my pocket or case; doesn’t look too bulky at all. I also wonder if it has something to throw a lanyard or charm on, but honestly it’s flashy enough as is and I think charms are mostly for women or even for the younger generation.

Love the flash, I’m thinking it’ll be easy to text with (unless it flies out of your hands when you’re trying to text) and just a neat little phone in general. Me gusta mucho (Spanish for “me-likey much!”).

I honestly don’t think it’s bad…the front is a nice, simple, and elegant design that works for those who want subtle fashion.

As for the back, I do think that it does look a little weird–if the angle was more pronounced, I think it would have worked, or even just simple, straight lines.
