I'm pretty sure that brand reputations don't suffer - do you honestly think that people can't tell the difference between a cellphone made of tupperware and "blu-tool" emblazened on the side that breaks in 2 weeks and a real nokia (or whatever)?
If they can't, I'm pretty sure they don't live in any real kind of market.
Also, they markets for knock-offs and real items are quite distinct. I bought a fake rolex - not in place of buying a real one, but because I wanted some watch that looked like a rolex. The crappy manufacturer gets his slice of the pie, rolex doesnt lose a sale, rolex's 'brand rep' is not hurt when the watch breaks (i KNOW its CRAP).....etc etc
oh! yeah i would get my Patch on her CRACK anyday. uh" shitcome to new zealand where 20% of our largest city is korean"! maaaaan deeez streets is seething ]
this cannot compete with nokia's 'fresh' Earl Parel inspired microPMP due to come out this autumn in Japan. I can't wait! - - especially for the long awaited feature of being able to listen in to mobilephone calls in the general vicinity...maaaan, I'm going to have a ball listening to 100's of different girls in harajuku all talking to thier 'friends' about the 'new' Mark Newson bag.
