Buy a FAKE BlackBerry Bold 9700 for just $51
Do you remember my article “BlackBerry Pearl 9100 Copy B9100 found on Hong Kong Electronics Fair”? Well, the very same company had a big pot of name cards and it seems ours was in there. So they sent us an (unsolicited) email about their latest products with prices of course. The full email reads as followed:

On purpose, I didn’t correct the email’s mistakes. The funny thing: they openly advertise for a “clone iphone”.
There was also a full price list (Excel) with pictures attached to their email. Here is a screen shot of the BlackBerry copies B9100 and B9700:
So you can get your BlackBerry Bold 9700 copy (called B9700) for just $51 and the Pearl 3G copy (B9100) for a buck less at $50. If you want more, you can even add “TV” and “WiFi” for just $6 respectivley $14 more. Wow! I didn’t know BlackBerry devices have telly support … must be some secret feature not even RIM knows about
Also quite interesting I think: They didn’t even bother to use photos of their fake B9700. Instead they used the original images RIM published for the Rogers branded BlackBerry Bold 9700. I call that bold man!

And now with a revised patent law in China even register foreign patents and logo’s and sue the original owners to protect their home market from foreign importers. And the foreign manufacturer can try to fight “legally” in China… thats only more business for the Chinese national economy as it provides jobs for judges and lawers in the country.
But on the other hand look into it like that. If one can make a RIM for 50 $ (and make the usual 30 % min profit from that – with less a Chinese never would make business) where the official price OEM is close to 10 times … is the difference all in R&D ???? Or is the original Monopoly Owner of RIM tech trying to syphon too much profit out of a device which is manufactured in China in any case !
As long as there are on the one hand customers who don’t bother to buy all this fakes and suppliers who want a profit margin sky high to pay the CEO’s bonusses it will go on like that .

Thanks for providing such detailed information. There is no doubt that promoting a website is much more complex than most people lead us to believe….
