CECT I9 VS P168 - How This New Quad Band Model With Java Improves Upon the Original iPhone Clone

Author: Missyrosa // Category:
The series of events that took the original iPhone clone (CECT P168 ("iClone")) to its newest version, the i9 is pretty interesting. The P168 is still a very brisk seller and I still find it to be a great phone. It's so popular for many reasons, but perhaps the most persuasive is that its interface is very user friendly and at the time of its release it mimicked the original more closely than any other clone.
This original model was then improved upon with the CECT P168 Plus + or quad band, which added the 850 MHz band, updated the firmware, and improved the digital camera web cam.
Then, came the SciPhone, which was the upgrade of the plus quad band. This model upgraded these clones to include Java so that you could easily download and use third party software and games.
The new CECT i9 is the latest, upgraded model of the SciPhone. This article will discuss some of the improvements and features of this new i model.
Two Sims At Once: This dual sim model allows for two sim cards or networks with both sims able to be online at once.
Shake And Tilt Feature: The original P168 did not have the shake and tilt or "shake to the music" feature. This was later made popular by models like the A88 and A380i.
The i9 has this shake control feature which means that you can advance or forward music, songs, and media only by shaking the phone. The tilt feature means that no matter whether you have the phone up right or on it's side (portrait or landscape), the phone will right itself so that the image will always be up right.
Much More Memory (Up To 8GB): The i9 will support up to a whopping 8GB of expandable memory. This is huge when you are going to be downloading software, songs and applications via Java or when you are downloading music and video and you don't want all of this entertainment to eventually slow or bog down your phone.
Java Support: I think the biggest and most important upgrade / improvement with the i9 is the Java support. The original iClone did not allow for third party downloads. Having Java means so many cool productivity applications like outlook express, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel to name just a few as well as thousands of cool games available - many for free.
Price: Most times, the i9 cost a bit more than the 168, (especially an 8GB model), but not by as much as might think. While it's not at all uncommon to get an original iClone for under $100 today, you can sometimes find an i model in the low or mid $100s, depending upon where you look.
