Brief reviews on the Iphone Competitor – CECT P168.

Cect P168+ ,an upgraded version of P168, is another Iphone clone from china. With it’s 3.5 inch display screen and the “slide to unlock” feature, P168 has been considered as the best Iphone clone before. With cell phones like P168 and Hiphone in CECT’s lineup, p168 is a stepping stone for CECT to explore their “Iphone clone” around the world. You can get it with $150 for item price, far cheaper than Iphone, but with most of the features that Iphone has.
P168 doesn’t support java games, it comes with some built-in mini game. So even if you download the mobile java games, and transfer them to your p168 phone, you can’t play with them.
P168 is not a PDA, so there is no mobile OS installed like Symbian and Windows Mobile. So you can’t install software on it. And the firmware for P168 is not updatable, unlike IPHONE, the firmware can be updated easily. CECT cell phones didn’t come with this feature, so when you got the P168 on hand, you should understand that you can’t install software, applications and games on it, and the firmware is not updatable too, scalability is almost impossible.
Even there are several limitations for the CECT P168, it has some other decent features that we should consider. The phone has dual SIM card support, one can switch the SIM manually, the camera, video recorder, mp4 player, multi-language supported, touch screen control, 3.5 inch display and some other features that a normal phone have. The interface is user friendly, and the speaker is amazing, turn your music player on, and it acts like a portable MP3 player.
