Well, the true Nokia Aeon with all of its technology is still unreachable for us and the company at the present. But what about the Nokia Aeon’s concept? It seems that some people in China have made another phone that duplicate of the Aeon’s concept.
People are already known that in China phones from various brands’ imitation are around. Who’s going to make all the knock-offs of the world if they don’t, right? And don’t worry about them getting in trouble for ripping off Nokia in various ways. Because out there in China, piracy “just works”.

Nokia Buy Symbian!
This is HUGE! Nokia, number one phone maker has been using Symbian for many, many of their phones. They make Symbian as the world’s most populous smartphone platform. Recently, they have about 47, 9 percent of Symbian share. But that’s not enough, so Nokia announcing that they’ll be acquiring the remaining shares of Symbian that they don’t already own to fully control the Symbian operating system.
Other Symbian Foundation members include Texas Instruments, Vodafone, Samsung, LG, and AT&T (yep, the same AT&T that currently sells precisely one Symbian-based phone), so things could get interesting. The move clearly seems to be a preemptive strike against Google’s Open Handset Alliance, LiMo, and other collaborative efforts forming around the globe with the goal of standardizing smartphone operating systems; the writing was on the wall, and Symbian didn’t want to miss the train. Total cash outlay for the move will run Nokia roughly €264 million — about $410 million in yankee currency.
