CECT P168S Mobile Phone-Quad Band - Has Novelty Features Like Shake and Tilt and Ripple Effect
It has been very interesting to see the iPhone clones evolve into what they are today.?What started out as an attempt to offer an alternative to Apple’s technological gold mine has graduated to include a long line of high quality phones that offer a huge variety of features.
The initial best selling iClone (the P168) was a very successful tri band model that was upgraded (the P168+) to include the 850 MHZ band (quad band) for many rural AT&T customers.?Meanwhile, the shake and tilt feature was introduced on some other popular models like the A380i and the A88.
For some, shake and tilt is a great feature.?When you want to advance music, photos, video or media, you only have to gently shake the phone. When you want to take it to wide screen, you just tilt it.?This makes the phones very user friendly or intuitive.?Not everyone sees the need for this feature, but those who do really love it.
The new CECT P168S is an upgrade of the P168+ (plus) and it sort of combines the features of the quad band model with the shake and tilt models I’ve previously mentioned. Folks who embrace the novelty features like shake control have really taken to the S model, which some believe is the knock off that combines the best of both worlds.?This article will discuss some of the stand out features of this upgraded quad band.
With A Smaller Size, The S Version Is Considered A Mini: The 168S is often called a “mini” because it only weighs 85 grams and has the compact measurements of 112 x 56.8 x 14.8 mm. Not everyone embraces these small, sleek models, as folks who watch a lot of video want as big a screen as they can get, but many actually prefer a streamlined model that can fit in a small pocket.
In Addition To Dual Sim Standby, And Supporting All Four Bands, It Has The “Special Ripple Effect” And Offers Two Colors / Finishes: This mobile phone can be set to support 850 / 1800 / 1900 or 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz, depending on where you will be using it. Although you could set this yourself using engineering mode, I’d highly recommend letting the seller set it for you, or buying a model that you know is already set where you need it.?
The 168S supports “dual sim standby” which means that the phone supports two sim cards that are working at one time. Theoretically, you can take a call on a Cingular sim while web browsing on T Mobile. It also has what is called the “special ripple effect,” allowing the user to change pictures by running or dragging your fingers across the screen. This goes nicely will the “menu flow touch” or “multi touch” also supported by this phone.
The S model comes in silver or black finishes.
Additional Standard And Bonus Features: The S version’s small size does not mean that it is lacking in any way.?It has all of the standard features that we’ve come to expect with the clones, including: allowing you to browse the internet (GPRS Class 12); email and text (SMS, EMS, MMS,); use Bluetooth; listen to and watch MP3 / MP4; listen to?FM radio; read e-books; and take photos with the 1.3 mega pixel camera and web cam. The CECT P168S has a talk time of about 120 -180 minutes.?It can support up to 2GB of memory.
The price on this one is not bad at all. It usually falls in the low $100s, and is almost always under $150.?If you’re asked to pay more than this, you can usually do better by shopping around.
