Not sure if they're fake but Micro Center in Michigan has 2 different n95's. One made in finland (home of nokia)$800 5mp camera 16GB memory. One made in China $359 3.2MP camera 8GB memory. Now I know the price difference is because of the better technology that's in the phone made in Finland(or is it?), but is the other phone legit? I've never seen this. Usually when two similar phones from one company have different technology/features they give them similar but different model numbers. Ex: 8800,8900,9000,9500 or e66,e71,n95,n96. Even the same phone given to different carriers have different models numbers, 8310,8320 or 8100,8120. Is the china made n95 a bootleg like those G2's? Does nokia contract companies in China to make their phones? Possible, but the few nokias I've owned have been made in Finland?… Wait. You can bootleg a phone?

The n95 has a 5mp camera not 3.2. Definately fake.

Might not be fake. You can port Android to a multitude of other phones already, and even a computer. What I'm saying is, the phone might be real, the OS might be real, but those things together do not make a G2...
