I hate to say this.. but those Bast*rds in China know no shame (despite being chinese ethnicity).

but to bear a warning to ALL prospective N97 buyers - do NOT buy from Ebay or sources you do not trust. Fake N97's are already out and they do look so similar to the real thing (unlike the early N95's that bore obvious distinctions to the original).

Here is a link to Alibaba for N97 clones:

As we all know, N97's do not have dual Sims.. but these are the fakes based on the existing CECT touch screen clones that have dual sim capability.

Here is an example of a fake on Ebay:

Please be aware and alert.. I hate seeing people get ripped off

some poor guy has won it for AU $760.00, you can tell its fake just by looking at it, it should be made ilegal to do this.
