CECT I9 Cell Phone - Has Java, Dual Sim Slots Working at Once, a Smaller Size, and More Memory

The release of the SciPhone i68 was sort of a big deal in the clone world because it not only improved upon the wildly popular CECT P168 Plus Quad Band, but the phone was smaller, thinner, faster, housed more memory, had the shake and tilt feature, and supported Java, allowing for third party software downloads which opened up a whole new slew of possibilities for gaming and productivity.
The i68 is a dual sim, quad band powerhouse that still is very popular. The i9 is the upgrade for the i68 and it too is fully loaded, but consumers love it because of the dual sim active feature (two sims or networks can be online at one time) and the fact that it can hold up to 8GB of memory. It's not that common to see an i9 sold as 8GB, but this is easily expandable and this ensures that the phone can grow with you and not slow or bog down as you download, add documents to it, or personalize it.
The camera on most of these has also been upgraded to 2.0 MP. (Most of the popular models (P168, A88, P168S, etc) have 1.3 MP cameras.
As you may suspect, the i9 is fully loaded, with all the features that have become synonymous with the iPhone clones.
It too is a quad band (supports GSM 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz) with the "shake and tilt" or "swing to the music" feature. This allows you to advance songs, music, media etc. only by shaking to phone. You can also take the images / screen to wide screen mode by tilting the phone.
This one has a 3.2 inch finger touch screen with the "menu flow in and out" feature. It has a very high talk time of 200 - 380 minutes depending on your carrier. You can transfer information, files, music, photo, video, documents, etc. via USB high speed transfer making this phone very productive and easy to own.
What the i9 doesn't have is the WiFi and GPS of the T32, but not every one needs or is willing to pay extra for these features.
The CECT i9, does however have the ability to surf the internet, text, email, and message via MMS, GPRS, and WAP 2.0. As stated earlier, both sim cards can be online simultaneously or at one time. There is a built in MP3 / MP4 player, a web cam, and Bluetooth. It also has an FM radio and e-book reader, as well as the popular import CECT speakers which are known for being crisp and loud.
This cell phone is very sleek and light, weighing only 95 grams and it is smaller than a dollar bill. I believe the best thing about it other than the size and the upgrades is the Java support. This puts MSN, PowerPoint, Office, Outlook Express, and Excel, etc. at the tips of your fingers.
Price wise, the CECT i9 is cheaper than I expected. For models with 2 - 4GB, you can expect to pay in the mid $100 range. As you add memory, of course, you can expect to pay a bit higher price. Still, this phone is among the best clone sellers right now. Most feel it has everything you could possibly need as well as the ability to chose your own low cost carrier.
