No matter whether I call it the iPhone Clone, The iClone, or the CECT P168 phone, (and now also the CECT P168+ and the P168 + C and + S models), I love this phone. It allows me to do everything that I could do with an Iphone. You can watch videos, play MP3s, take photos and videos, enjoy Bluetooth, and listen to the radio. This is probably the closest thing to the iPhone out there, and although it’s one of the first, I still feel that it is among the best. (although, this is no longer the latest. If you want to see the newest version, check out http://i9clonephonereview.com) The sound, picture, and photo quality is very good and it’s contract free - which really matters to me. I don’t want to be chained to AT&T. This phone is solid and high quality. I understand completely why Popular Science called The IClone “the real thing.” If you’ve never seen, held, or used one of these phones, you might well be pleasantly suprised.
And, you can often get these phones (even the quad band and S, and C models) for around $100 (sometimes as low as $50). You can not go wrong. It’s everything you love about the iPhone without the high price and contract, and it’s DUAL sim, which means you can have two phone numbers or two plans. I use one sim for data and web browsing and one for talking. You can check out video, specs, and photos by scrolling down. You can just connect it via USB port to your computer and off you go. Plus, you can switch out Sim cards without ever turning the phone off. It truly is a touch screen with an extremely sharp picture. Most people who see it assume that it is an Iphone.
This is a great phone for kids, students, or anyone who doesn’t want to throw money away. I would never spring $500 for an Iphone, or it’s contract, but I have no problem spending $100 on such a nice phone as the CECT P168.

From Popular Science Magazine - August 2007
Growing Beyond Fakes
“The Next iClones
Copies of the iPhone are now dividing into two categories: the inspired-bys and the wholesale duplicates. The first category includes work-alikes manufactured by well-known cellphone makers, like HTC—one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones—and Sun Microsystems. HTC announced that it will be bringing its “Touch” model to the U.S. this fall. In May, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz followed in the footsteps of Steve Jobs (and Meizu’s Jack Wong) by displaying his own one-off version of a touchscreen prototype at a software-developers convention. Sun’s chairman, Scott McNealy, had no qualms about making the iPhone comparison: “We have our own shirtsleeve version of Steve Jobs announcing a phone,” he told the audience.
The number of duplicates is also growing. Although Meizu may have gone silent because of fears of an Apple lawsuit—after my visit in Hong Kong, they stopped responding to my e-mails and phone calls—other companies are moving ahead. A few days before Apple’s launch, an online video surfaced depicting a sleek new product called the P168 [watch the video below]. The phone came in a black box, marked with both the iPhone and the Apple logos. The video showed the phone being unpacked and operated (the start-up screen also featured the Apple branding). There were features that the iPhone didn’t have, such as the ability to operate on two different networks at once; six speakers; and, addressing a major prerelease complaint about the iPhone, a removable battery. I asked my translator if she could find one on the street. They weren’t available in Beijing—yet—but a few weeks later, a friend discovered one in Guangzhou. The manufacturer of the P168 wouldn’t comment for this story, but the hardware was real, and it worked.
Neither the miniOne, the P168 nor even HTC’s model are likely to carry the mystique or quality of the iPhone. But that’s not really the point. Those phones will be available to millions more consumers than Apple’s product, at a lower price. The rest of the world will accept the clones as if they were the original. That will make them no different than a flood of Chinese products—cars, pharmaceuticals, food, appliances—that are emerging from the shadows and climbing the learning curve to the point that they will no longer be clones at all. They’ll be the real thing.”

This website and author is in no way affilated with CECT or Apple (or any other phone manufacturer for that matter.) I am just a consumer / blogger who enjoys reviewing and using these phones and products. I’m not the manufacturers or any representative of them and I do mean to represent the same. I’m merely stating my findings and opinions (and hopefully giving a decent review /overview.) Thanks.
