Well, this is new and fresh, as while we’re used to seeing cloned handsets wandering our way from China, this time they’ve maybe beaten Nokia to the punch pre prototype-style. At first glance, this handset appears to be a pretty decent knockoff of the 6 or 8 megapixel N85 — or something — we mentioned some months back. But the fun twist here — see what we just did there? — is that the CECT K898 was spotted a year ago, and Nokia’s prototype only in the last few months. We’re not strangers to the good folks at CECT’s cloning shenanigans, but we’ll admit that they’re likely a little chuffed at the prospect of beating somebody, anybody, to the punch in the design department. Sadly, like a year ago, we still kind find even a hint of what the specs may be, but we’re ok to simply sit back and watch the lawsuits fly, and this time maybe in the opposite direction.
