These factories made lots of famous-brand cell-phone-copies in a short period of time. They just copied the outline and software design from Nokia, Apple iPhone etc. The manufacturing cost is very low so many people are involved. However, these cell phones are not all completely copied. They are even totally redesigned and added a lot of features. A brand called "NCIKA" even went very popular in China. People're even joking that the farmers in big mountains can develop and design a cell phone and these phones was called "Shanzhai Ji" (In Chinese , "Shanzhai" means "little mountain village"; "Ji" means machine, here means cell phone;) and then the name is widespread in China. Since then, many funny/weird stuff from ordinary people are called "shanzhai" something.

My gwes.exe problem has disappeared :). I've still got a lot of installing and tweaking to do yet but I'm very happy with LennySh's efforts.

The biggest hurdle I have is that I must use Odyssey client to connect successfully to WIFI signals most of the time. Very annoying. Anyone else notice this issue?
