CECT i68 (3G Style) - Does Such a Phone Exist? Details on the i9+

I've been getting a lot of inquiries about the new CECT 3G phone.  Someone wrote me yesterday wanting details and specs on the "3G style i68." I am pretty sure that the person was actually talking about the CECT i9+, which is sometimes called the CiPhone.  I'll outline some of the features of this new phone in the following article.

The Progression Of This Phone: I believe that the reader was actually asking about the SciPhone i68.  This was and still is a very popular phone. It was an upgrade of the original P168 iClone because it now included Java, was a quad band, and added the shake and tilt feature. Later, the SciPhone morphed into the CECT i9, which was a bit sleeker and faster and had dual sim active (which allowed both sim cards to be on line at once without having to switch back and forth between the two.) 

Now, this new CECT 3G is the latest progression in this series and is often called the i9+. 

How Is It Different? What Does The 3G Mean: The quick answer is that this is the 3rd generation of this phone.  But, that name has nothing to do with the network that the phone can be used on.  This new phone is similar to previous models in that it runs on GSM sim cards.  You can browse the net with the WAP browser or the Java Opera Mini browser over GPRS.  This is pretty fast, but it's not a 3G connection.

However, there are some notable upgrades and improvements in this third generation model.  It now offers many more icons on the welcome screen - over ten pages to be exact.  With the older i68 and 9, you were pretty limited to icons for SMS, calls, games, camera, tools, settings, documents, alarm, photo album, calendar, etc.

With the new phone, pretty much any tool or application has an icon.  This includes weather, stocks, You Tube, maps, Gmail or other emails applications, plus syncing, etc.  Another cool thing about the phone is that you can drag the icons around with your fingers to make sure that the apps that you use the most are represented on the first page.

Additionally, this new phone looks a bit different. The casing / housing is shiny, thicker and sleek.  In my opinion, it looks a bit like a lap top cover. You can now get it in white, red, or black.

Nothing has been taken away from the original design.  You still have your Java and it's still a quad band with shake and tilt.  It still offer dual sim active, as well as all of the other goodies (Bluetooth, MP3 / MP4, camera / web cam, etc.)  It still works on networks with sim cards like AT&T, T Mobile, and Fido (as well as pay as you go or pre paid cards.)  Although many have reported that the 3G sim cards work fine in the phone, you don't seem to get any additional speed, just what was there previously, which isn't too bad, especially if you have a compacted browser like Opera Mini.
