The Nokia N8 leads the way in lots of areas, not least for its Symbian ^3 operating system. It seems like a Chinese company has other ideas, however, with a handset that looks suspiciously like the N8, boasting an operating system that looks suspiciously like iOS! Join us after the break to see the offending device...
The Nokia N8 and iOS – a match made in heaven? Actually, we like the new Symbian ^3 operating system, and it's certainly a lot more versatile than its rival. We had to look twice when we saw the handset in the video below, however, as at first glance it looks like somebody has installed iOS on Nokia's finest.

Look again, and it's quickly evident that the handset is actually a cheap knock off, lacking both the Nokia N8's anodised aluminium casing, backlit menu button, and indeed internal hardware – including the class-leading 12-Megapixel Carl Zeiss camera.
While the company has done a good job of replicating the Nokia N8's design, the plastic finish and cheap looking buttons can't hold a candle to the real thing.
It looks like the company has done a good job of copying the iOS operating system, however, although it lacks the fluidity of the Nokia N8's genuine OS. Buy a fake, and you'll also lack access to Nokia's Ovi Store, with games such as Angry Birds remaining firmly out of reach.
