CECT A380i – The Newest iClone To Introduce Shake Technology And Improvements Upon The iPhone

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:58:17 +0000

Just released in January of 2008, the CECT A380i is the latest iClone from China to not only copy but improve upon iPhone technology. Although this phone looks like and performs every bit as impressively as the iPhone, it actually improves upon areas where the iPhone was lacking.

For example, the A380i has added an additional sim slot, making it a dual sim. This gives you the ability to have two cell phone numbers without ever having to close the phone. It also has one-upped the iPhone by adding a removable battery, additional speakers and a slide unlock feature that allows you to immediately unlock the phone and use whatever carrier you wish. (A huge drawback with the iPhone is that you are forced to use AT&T's service which can be quite expensive.)

Additionally, the A380 has an expandable memory via micro SD cards. The iPhone does not have this memory capability. Perhaps the most innovative of the improvements to the iPhone is the clone's "accelerometer" or "shake technology" which means if you want to change songs, wallpapers, or photos, you just shake the phone to advance the media. You do not need to look down or spend a lot of time scrolling through.

More, the CECT A380i has everything that makes the iPhone so popular: the 3.0 inch high resolution touch screen, a built in digital camera, Bluetooth, a built in video camera, and MP3 / MP4 players. The clone does not require software. The phone can automatically read any sim card.

The cost of this phone starts at about $150. As time passes, these prices may well fall, but the phone is already pretty reasonably priced for the latest, new and improved, high performing technology. The clone is a wonderful option for someone who wants to try these features in one smartphone / pda / media player without having to pay full price.

A380i – A Sharp Mobile Phone From CECT That Puts The iPhone To Shame

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:15:39 +0000

The CECT A380i is a much anticipated iPhone clone that not only has very convincingly copied the iPhone, but made major and appreciated improvements upon it.

The A380i looks very much like the iPhone and it performs all of the functions that you love about the iPhone. It has a high resolution 3.0 inch touch screen, a built in digital camera, built in Bluetooth, a built in video camera and player, and MP3 / MP4 players. The clone does not require any software. It can automatically read any sim card.

The A380i has tacked on many improvements to the iPhone. For example, CECT noticed that many customers were carrying around two cell phones and were using two cell phone numbers -- (typically one for personal calls and one for business). So the company decided to put a dual sim on this clone so that you could have two numbers in one phone. You don't need to turn off the phone for this feature to work. The phone also works fine with only one sim if you do not have the need for this feature.

The A390i also improves upon the iPhone by adding a removable battery. You won't need to take the phone to the dealer when the battery goes dead. CECT understood that customers do not want to be dependent on the manufacturer for basic maintenance. CECT has also added additional speakers and surround sound.

You do not need to try and hack this clone if you don't want to use AT&T's expensive service. It has a slide unlock feature that lets you unlock the phone by merely sliding your hand. Once unlocked, you can use this phone with any carrier you chose.

The most innovative feature and the one that receives the most attention is the shake feature. When you want to change any media (songs, wall paper or photos), you just shake the phone to advance the media. You don't need to scroll or look down.

Additionally, the A380 has an expandable memory via micro SD cards. The iPhone does not have this technology.

This clone is already well priced at about $150, sometimes lower. This is a very fair price for the cutting edge technology and features CECT packs into one tiny smartphone.

CECT A380i Review – Shake And Tilt Isn’t The Only Cool Feature On This Phone

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:16:35 +0000

Because of its innovative features, this phone is among the most popular of the iPhone clones. Here is a quick review of its features, appearance, performance and pricing.

Overview: The CECT A380i (sometimes called the A380), is among the latest Chinese iPhone clones with shake and tilt technology. In case you are not familiar with this line, they are very similar to the iPhone, but they've added additional bonus features. Examples are two sim cards (two phone numbers), a removable battery so you aren't dependent on the dealer when the battery dies, additional surround sound and vibrating speakers, and the ability to unlock the phone yourself with the slide unlock feature. You can use any carrier or provider you wish with this phone. The shake and tilt technology means that you can change any media by just shaking the phone. If you want to switch or advance a song, you just shake the phone rather than scrolling or having to look down. When you want to bring video or photos to wide screen, you just tilt the phone.

Features: The A380 has all of the the features which makes the iPhone popular: Bluetooth, a 3.0 inch finger touch screen, MP3/MP4/DV players, a 1.3 mega pixel camera, a video recorder, fully functional smart phone capabilities, web browsing, Java 2.0, T-Flash 256 MB memory, and many games with more available for download. No driver or software is required with this phone. It will automatically read your sim card.

Appearance: This phone looks very similar to the iPhone. It has the silver casing on the back with black on the front. It is sleek and modern looking. However, there is no writing or logo on the phone and most people prefer this.

Functioning And Quality: This phone is nice and solid. It is quick, crisp and solid in its performance and the shake and tilt control and the finger touch features make it incredibly user friendly.

Pricing: This model starts at about $150, but can vary greatly depending on where you get it. However considering all of the innovation packed into this tiny little phone, that seems to be a very fair price.

The CECT A380i is really a great little phone for the money. It has all of the latest features and is a very solid, high functioning little cell phone in its own right.

CECT A380i Cell Phone – A Finger Touch Shake And Tilt IPhone Clone With Java 2.0

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:47:25 +0000

There's no shortage of dual sim shake and tilt iPhone clones on the market and I either own or have tested nearly all of them. Most differ in small ways. Some have a stylus. Some are dual sim. Some have FM radio, but all are pretty inexpensive and come unlocked (many have the slide unlock feature) so that you can use whichever carrier or plan that you chose. This has saved me loads of money on AT&T's expensive service.

I believe there are two things that contribute to the huge success of the shake and tilt phones.

First, people are starting to realize the difficulty and expense of always having the latest technology. The newest features change so quickly that what was the best and the brightest just last month can look dated today. The iClones let you have the latest phones in the cheapest way possible, so that when you want to move on to the next big thing, you can do so completely guilt free, since you didn't spend that much money in the first place.

Second, consumers just love being able to change music and media by shaking the phone. At first, users were not so sure about this shake to the music feature. It was even called "quirky" when it first came out, but now people absolutely love it. I find that it's among the "must haves" on the iClones right now. This technology means you never to have to look down or scroll around. Plus, you just tilt the phone and it goes to wide screen. So, this phone is very user friendly and intuitive.

The CECT A380 is among the best selling dual sim shake and tilt models. It has: a high resolution 3.0 inch finger touch screen; a built in 1.3 mega pixel digital camera; built in Bluetooth; a built in video camera and player; MP3 / MP4 players; and Java 2.0. This phone does not require any software. It can automatically read most GSM sim cards.

Java 2.0 allows all kinds of productivity and gaming possibilities. There are literally thousands of software and gaming downloads available.

The 380 phone is also dual sim which means that you can use two sim slots with one phone. Consumers typically use this feature so that they can have one number for leisure and one for work.

It also has a removable battery, additional surround sound speakers, slide unlock, expandable memory via micro SD memory cards of up to 2GB, and a stylus.

I have not had any problems with this phone. The sound on the speakers is sharp, loud, and typical of CECT. The camera takes surprisingly nice pictures that are easily edited using only my fingers. This phone has come down in price. You can now get it in the $100 range, sometimes lower.
