HP-15C+ Prototype?

[grsbanks]

Before they got into bed with Microsoft and basically went down the pan, Nokia used to have a great community in their "Nokia Support Discussion" forum. A pal of mine, also from Lancashire, and I were the two leading contributors on that forum and the number of times we had to disappoint people by telling them that they had just bought a Chinese knock-off on TAS that had nothing to do with Nokia is mind-boggling.

That particular auction site, maybe others too, is rife with fake products, so is it much of a stretch of the imagination to think that there could also be fake HP calculators?
