Well, I am certain that this is a 'bug' that was intentional. That said, if Coolpad had been HONEST about the fact that this was there and the purposes it could be used for, it might not even come up on my radar.
I get more pissed royally when a manufacturer does this intentionally and then refuses to admit that they did this intentionally when it is exposed.
