*See the pictures on the second page I've just done comparing the Ricson K610i with a genuine  K610!  *
You can keep your N95s, W880is, K810is, I've got the mighty Ricson K610i phone from China! 
Curiosity got the better of me - I went and bought one for £40 off a UK seller just to see what it was like, and this is what I found out:
The phone does look very much like the K610i!
That 'fun' logo looks strangely familiar.... It's been pinched from the 'Samsung Fun Club' logo!
And that menu looks familiar too - another Samsung rip off!
The back says a 2 megapixel camera...
.... but let's just take a look at one of those pictures, taken at it's highest 'resolution'...
... it's only about 30k or so in size - and only at VGA resolution!  Someone's been telling porkies!  And is it just me or does that picture look a bit fuzzy?
I'm wondering now whether those Chinese copies with tempting prices and sometimes better specs on paper are worth going for, they use cheaper components, and could well be lying about the phone specs. And of course no Bluetooth, or even Infra-red, though transferring files to the phone is fairly easy via USB as it just recognises it as a removable drive, it came with a 256Mb mini-SD card, but that took a bit of fiddling to get the phone to recognise it - a cheap mem card reader?
Anyone else had any experiences with these Chinese copies?

It's quite ironic that it seems to pinch rather a lot from Samsung, it also came with a Briteny Spears track on it - surely a breach of copyright as phone was bought new so can't have been put on by a previous user?
