Author Cheap smartphones on eBay

I've noticed a few too-cheap-to-be-true handsets on eBay, for example
this N95 rip off:

unlocked_W0QQitemZ19
0209718519QQihZ009

The screenshots look rather Symbian-esque, but does anybody know software
these things tend to run? Some other examples:

MP4_W0QQitemZ2002115
04072

Has a slide out keyboard. It would make more sense if it had 3G and/or
WiFi, but as with most [all?] of these cheap handsets, it doesn't. Other
features include "dual-core memory", "1.3 million dual perturbation" and
"Fuselage directories". As ever the Chinese brands are more nimble than
their western counterparts and have include features that consumers are
crying out for.

If you can look beyond how hideously ugly it is, you'll see that this one
allows you to fool the person you're talking to into thinking that you're
on a motorbike. Again, another key feature the major brands seem to have
overlooked.
