Would you buy a mobile phone copy?

I was going to buy 10 Nokia (NYSE: NOK) n95 mobile phones from a company in china but they have just told me they are copies. They have assured me that they are exactly the same as the originals, just not endorsed by nokia. So I'm thinking of buying one phone just to check what they're like. If they look good I'll buy more and my plan was to sell them on ebay but I'm not sure if people would buy them now.

I will definitely put on the listing that they are copies because I don't want to cheat anyone so my question is... would you buy a copy? If so, how much would you buy one for if the average for an original is £250?

No, I'd buy the original thing.

I would not buy a "copy" from China. I have had problems in the past with "knock-off's" from China. If you sell them make sure you buy enough to cover the ones that will be returned.

I think there're many different kind fo qualtiy even copies. Make sure you work with the serious supplier.

No, Even if they're cheap and even if only to use them as backup phones. Mobile phone manufacturers have cheap phones too with warranty and all. I think I'd be wasting my money on copies. I'd just save up the money to buy the original one.
