Due to the amount of Fake, and Cloned N95 models in the market place, and seeing some members here buying them
under the impression they are the real thing, I decided to carry out this Warning thread, which is a Hands-On Review,
and side by side comparison, with detailed photos, showing the differences, and what to look out for.
This particular Clone, featured in this Hands-On Review, is the
NOKLA. There are several other clones in the
market place which are almost Identical to the Genuine Handsets. Even the 8GB N95 has a clone, which also includes
the Chinese model, which does not feature
WiFi, or
GPS.
I purchased this particular NOKLA handset, solely to make N95Users, or anyone reading these forums, with the
interest in looking, or investing a Nokia N95 handset aware of what some sellers advertise as Genuine.
I have taken many photos of this NOKLA handset, and all of which can be viewed in a PhotoBucket account i have set
up especially for Fakes, and Clone awareness. More, and more photos will be added to this Album for all members
to see, and I have set a Guest password also, which is detailed at the bottom of this post.
Ok, so what does this NOKLA look like.? Many of us are already aware of this particular clone, and it the easiest
to spot, but not everyone is aware of some of the differences, which many of us appear obvious.
This is what you would of received, if you purchased a Nokla.
Then when you open the box, you will be presented with this very poorly constructed clone, which is in my opinion,
very very poor, and cheap quailty. I feel sorry for those people that have purchased these, thinking they were
the real N95 Nokia.
Heres the handset.
Whats in the box? Well, not a lot. no instructions with this particular one.
Box Contents..
1. Handset
2. Headphones, without any ear foams.
3. A Far eastern Mains/USB charger, with Travel Adapter(UK)
4. USB Charging cable, which doubles up as a Data Cable(not in the photo)
5. 2 x Batteries. (Only one in photo, the onther is in the handset)

Heres the handset out the box. Many of you will recall seeing the Bluetooth screen cover before, mainly on eBay.
Now with the screen cover off, the most obvious difference, is the menu icons on the lower part of the LCD screen
for reading.
