Hop-On ripoff Nokia XpressMusic 5310

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

It’s time for ripoffs and fake phones. Hop-On apparently designed HOP1803 phone that looks identically as Nokia XpressMusic 5310. If you look closer to the photo you will even notice the “X-Press Music” tag on the side. Now we’re not sure if Nokia officials will allow that but certainly it is not the phone we are about to buy.
