yup some shops in ghills are using fake parts. there was this one time when I was at a gym in greenhills, mayroon 2 fil-chinese sa locker na I overheard, sabi nun dami daw sya stock ng 2nd hand phones & brand new mainstream phones. and when asked by the other, kung ano battery. sabi nya: "battery ko orig, meron ako makina gawa hologram sticker, ilan gusto mo? "

you also heard of assemble while u wait, SE or nokia phone sa Shanghai? eto ang to the max, last year, yun mga engineers na kasama namin d sumama mag-tour nun day-off. kinagabihan naka P900 na sila hehehe ... tanong nga nila kung ano gusto ko? 7610, 6600 (popular at that time) assembled with brand new parts daw from scratch. I figured eh karamihan nga naman ng phones galing china. ano ba naman yun blackmarket ng surplus parts hehehe .... pagbalik ko sama ko!
