Keepin' it real fake, part LV: Nokia N95 gets cloned

We love Tuesday, and even more so when said day includes a couple knockoffs of the ever-so-hot Nokia N95. The Nokia-N95 and MB1500 (pictured top and bottom respectively) eschew sliding action for the traditional candybar format, a touchscreen (complete with that ever-present set of fixed icons on the lower part of the screen), forward-facing camera, and various other specs that we can't make out from the pics. The MB1500, however, has a rear camera that claims to be a Carl Zeiss 5 megapixel piece with autofocus and appears to be running something resembling Windows Mobile 6 (the doubt factor on both those points is at an all-time high over here at Engadget central). These handsets looks fairly legit, and judging by the real N95's popularity, we can expect a few more iterations like this, the highest form of flattery, in the coming months.

If only the N95 had a touchscreen.

@person4:

Having a touchscreen is just a personal preference and while I can do without a touchscreen myself, I'll admit it may have been nice for Nokia to at least do a touchscreen version for those all those touchscreen fans out there. However, I think that with a 2.6 inch screen on the n95, that's a little bit small to have as a touchscreen display. Maybe if it was more around 3 inches . . .

P.S. Has anyone ever had a touchscreen phone for a good amount of time? Doesn't the display have like a lot of fingerprints and/or scratch marks? How do you even take care of it?
