Alas, the Ricson K610i is just too much phone for me, so is up for sale on Ebay, either have a bid or buy it now for £39.99 - click the link in my sig to find the auction!
Spamming and blatent plugging aside, I've just recieved and fixed a genuine
K610i, so thought before the Ricson goes I'd post some comparison pics:
The K610i could do with a new housing, so bear that in mind:
Next few pics show the difference in thickness of the two phones, surprisingly the Ricson phone is actually thinner:
Tell me what you think!

Can't the WTO do anything about this and what about
lawyers? If this happened anywhere else in the world you'd wake up the next morning with a heavy law suit hanging over your head.

hey if it detects as a normal usb drive, that may mean it's fully usb2 compliant. This thing's cable connection may run at 480Mbps! That would be it's only advantage of K610

We have chinese versions of any conceivable bestseller phone being sold in shops here. P990i, M600i, K750i, W800i, N72, N70, D520...... The list is endless.
Funny, but these imitations look sleeker than the originals. The chinese P990 for instance is thinner than the original, and comes in shinny stainless steel and black keys.

There's also a copy of the N91, which isn't as huge as the real one, just take a look at miss uk's thread :

they are smaller, because they have cheaper hardware and less features and lower specs than the originals. For example the "K610" has no bluetooth, no IR and a VGA camera (a vga camera module is half the volume of a 2MP version). So they are gonna be smaller! But I bet when you hold one it feels a hell of a lot more flimsy and cheap than a real K610

Actually, the 'K610' doesn't feel too flimsy, the chassis/facia does have a reasonable quality feel about them, though as stated the actual components are rather cheap. I tried recording a video with the phone, and looking in the file folders it seems to have saved the 'video' in some strange format, with the audio in one file and images in another if I've read it right?
It does seem to auto-recognise as a USB drive, though not checked as to whether it's USB 2 or not, though when connected to a non-USB2 connector I don't get the usual Windows 'This device could operate faster' bubble!

fair enough about it not feeling flimsy. In the pictures the K610 looks more accurate and finely molded than the "610".
