Flattery or Fakes?

May 17, 2006 | 2 Comments

Vertu. Xiamen, 2006

A phone design modelled on a Vertu above, and a Nokia 3230 below. Possibly enough to fool someone from a distance if they were to glance at it, but not under closer examination. From the mobile phone market in Xiamen, more to follow if I get the chance.

What can be copied easily? Does the job of effectively copying become harder as devices become complicated?

Wow.. How did the UI look like? Had they copied it too?

Everything else was different - just the industrial design appears the same from a distance. Looks OK in the photo but a bit tacky up close.
