I stumbled upon this impressive fake of the VERTU ASCENT,its convincing enough to give our friends Nokia a heart attack.
ESATO NEWS
I have to say these copy cat phone makers are getting better and better at what they do,It would'nt surprise me if at some point it will be very difficult to distinguish the Original from the Fake.
So if you've ever wanted a Vertu but were put off by the price tag,you might want to consider this clone version,Its titled the "VEPTU" to avoid any legal action by Nokia otherwise the styling down to the logo and packaging is all like the real Mcoy VERTU.
According to the seller it even has a 24K Gold Finish,specifications have also been bumped up in comparison to the Original with a 2 mega pixel Camera and external memory taking Mini SD Cards.

Hi all,
Their is a white gold and Piano black one which is currently @£122, did any one see Watchdog lat week apparently E-Bay is becoming known as Fake-Bay for obvious reasons as its not just memory cards but lots of items from Power sellers.
