Keepin' it real fake, part XXIII: if the Nokia 8800 was a candy bar

Ahh, so that's what a Nokia 8800 sans-slider would look like. This Panda X30 hails from China and sports a 264k color LCD, microSD expansion, and 1.3 megapixel shooter. Yeah, it doesn't have the fashion pull of a stainless steel slider, but if you're the type who buys your designer digs from the trunk of a car, then this might be the phone for you.

Perhaps this is for those people who just can't quite afford a Nokia 8800 in China (about $1100US WITH contract) whereas this one comes at the bargain price of $200US (bargain compared to the real thing) and you get more features too! I would get one of these if I didn't already have a V902SH- but maybe I'll get one for those moments when a V902SH would make me a target for theft.

i like how the knockoff has better specs than the original. it probably picks up fewer fingerprints too.
