The Cect i9 3G smart phone is the latest version of the highly successful I9 from the maker who brought you the KA08, i9++, and i68+ (Sciphone). Introduced in May 2009, the Cect i9 3G is the 3rd generation phone of its series.  But a word of caution. A common misconception over the Cect i9 3G is that it runs on the newer and faster 3G networks.  It doesn’t as of yet.  It runs on the common GSM such as AT&T, Cingular, T Mobile, and Fido.

Simple Navigation and Control on the i9 3G

Still, the Cect i9 3G phone has plenty of excellent multi-media features.  The video support alone is like carrying a tiny TV in your pocket.  It has a 81.28mm (3.2 inch) high definition touch screen and plays mp3 / mp4 video files.  The video display supports over 16 million different colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

The navigation is touch screen and there are up to 10 pages of available for customizing the phone to your needs.  Meaning that your most used websites and applications can only be a single touch away when you need it.  Drag & drop the icons for these websites and applications as you please.  Or trash them if dis-pleased.

Furthermore, along with a built-in gravity inductor, you can easily adjust video play or picture display by tilting the phone.  It’s part of the shake control You can use tilting, swaying, or shaking to change music, wallpaper, pictures, and messages.  You don’t have to push any buttons.

Cect i9 3G supports multiple languages

In the ever increasing multi-nationality of the world, support for various languages in a device is a must.  This Cect mobile phone is very versatile in that it supports English, Arabian, Bahasa Indonesia, Deutsch, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, German, Swedish, Slovenian, Vietnamese, Thai, Russian, French, Turkish, Italian, Chinese, and Romanian.  You have a Chinese girlfriend and she doesn’t read Italian, yet you want her to use your i9 3G?  No problem, just change the language feature on the phone.

Games and Applications on the Cect i9 3G

Video games.  We love them.  Past models of the i9, and even the current KA08 (or mini i9s), did not support video games.  But the i9 3G is different because it can play Java-based video games.  How?  The Cect i9 3G has java support.  All you have to do is download them from online (i.e. GetJar.com or similar sites) and upload them as an installed software on your i9 3G.  Play the games whenever like.  It’s the same support for Java-based application.

More and more mini Cect KA08 phones are popping up all over eBay lately.  These are dubbed by many as the mini iPhones because it kinda looks like one, except much smaller.  It’s a clone, too.  Not made by Apple but by Cect, a completely different company based in China.

Mini “iPhone” KA08

Fans of this mini iPhone clone love its size. The Cect mini “iPhone” KA08 is about the size of a credit card or a bank card.  Whereas, a real Apple iPhone is the size and weight of a typical PDA.  A typical card has a dimension around 3.45″ x 2.15″ (87.63mm x 54.61mm).  The Cect mini “iPhone” KA08 has a dimension of 3.7 inches x 1.97 inches x 0.47 inches (94mm x 50mm x 12mm).  And weighs only 1/10 lbs (48 grams).  The mini phone ka08 is very easy to carry in a light shirt pocket.

From the looks of it, the general design of the screen and shape of the handheld is that of an iPhone.  The comparison seems to stop at the looks.  The mini Cect KA08 does not have the same app support as the iPhone.  It doesn’t even have JAVA to run video games and other application.

The Mini Cect KA08 Dual Sim and Worldwide Support

So what do you get?  Well, it’s a phone with voice recognition and voice dialing.  It runs on typical GSM networks supported around the world.  That’s why it’s so popular in Europe where many folks, especially the youngsters, travel around between countries.  This Cect mobile phone has dual sim support, so you can easily switch from an Italian phone service to French without having to reprogram the phone.  Other languages it supports are English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Deutsch, Turkish, Persion, and Arabic.

The KA08 mini phone is a pretty good electronic device.  It makes a fantastic music and video player.  It has a 2.4″ (60.96mm) screen that also supports an e-Reader.  The touch screen navigation is highly responsive and comfortable for texting.  Internet support is through WAP.  The 2 mega pix camera has a 640 x 480 display resolution.
