A Comparison Of An iClone To The iPhone (And The Places Where I Think The Clone Is Better)
There’s no doubt that the iPhone has been on a lot of Christmas wish lists for several years running. This gadget is highly innovative and much sought-after for its multimedia functionality, but it is also incredibly expensive with a $500 price tag and a required expensive monthly AT&T contract. Enter the iClone, also known as the CECT P168. (There have been many updates of this original version. You can see an example below.)
There is arguably a way around both the initial price of an iPhone and the costs of the expensive AT&T plan. It’s called the iClone, the CECT P168, (or “the real thing” by Popular Science) – and it looks amazingly identical to the iPhone and offers nearly of the features of it plus bonus, additional features like extra speakers and a removable battery, plus it allows you to use whatever participating carrier you like (even your current provider).
Popular Science Magazine dubbed the IClone CECT P168 “the real thing” because the it performs amazingly well, is a fraction of the price of the original and even has bonus features that the original doesn’t include. (The aforementioned the ability to operate on two different networks at once, SIX speakers, and a removable, renewable battery.) Seeing both phones side by side makes the CECT 168 an easy sell.
Better still, the iClone CECT P168 runs well under $100 – sometimes as low as $50. This means you can actually get yourself, your kid or loved one all of the features of the iPhone – the touch screen, the ability to surf the web or watch videos, and the MP3 capabilities we all want, without worrying about the credit card bill coming or without having to threaten your kid’s life if they lose the IClone. Basically, most things that you can do with the iPhone, you can also do with the IClone – AND you can remove the battery and operate on two sim cards. Take the significant money you save and do something nice for yourself or your family.
You don’t need to buy or install any software for the iClone P168. The phone will automatically recognize your GSM network, phone book, personal settings and phone book. Additional standard features on the CECT P168 are:

With features and specifications amazingly similar to the iPhone at a fraction of the cost, the iClone is a great way to try out the the iPhone’s features while waiting for the price of the original to come way down. It’s also a way to give your kids (or yourself) the technology they are hungry for at a fraction of the price. With the money you save, you can put a lot of additional presents under the tree this year.
Probably the most popular iClone right now is an updated version of that original P168, the CECT i9. For much more information on the i9 (a review, photos, specs, pricing etc.,) please see http://i9clonephonereview.com/
