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.
