Now iPhone

Rae Edwards questioned:




Since I often write about (and use) the iPhone clones, people sometimes question me about accessories and the difficulty of set up. I suppose people want assurance that, should they chose to go with an import iPhone knock off, they won’t need to know Chinese or order extras, accessories, and instructions from China or overseas.

The truth is, these Chinese clones are not at all a hard sell, even though they are imports. The tanking of the economy pretty much ensured that consumers would want to know more about unlocked phones, so that they were free to shop the least expensive networks and carriers with the most generous amounts of minutes, internet and messaging options for the least amount of money.

And, many import iClones have extremely innovative and bonus features that improve upon the original like dual sim slots, shake and tilt, and FM radios, analog television, and e book readers. If you’ve found this article, you probably by now know that the CECT A380i is among the most well loved shake and tilt iPhone clones on the market.

But, if you’re researching accessories and help for it, you may be reassured to know that you don’t need to know or be able to read Chinese or a foreign language to be able to know, set up, or use it.

The 380i is pretty simple to get up and running. It needs no drivers of software and will read your sim card. But, help, user’s manuals, set up instructions, and guides are easily available in just about every language on the planet and also for specific carriers. You can now get help for specific networks like Cingular, Rogers Wireless, AT&T and T Mobile, to name a few. These tell you how to set up internet, MMS, SMS,WAP, GPRS, texting and messaging, incoming call information / photos, etc.

Second to wanting to know how to get started with the phone, people also want reassurance that they won’t have to order internationally to get accessories for it. You won’t. Extras and spares for this phone are readily available, usually for under $10. As I’m sure you can imagine, when an item becomes well loved, a whole industry of accessories and help for it pops up very quickly, as is the case here.

You can typically easily obtain cases, superfluous sim cards, skins, data or sync cables, replacement batteries, and additional memory. And you won’t need to travel outside of your home or spend a lot of money to get them.

I have several blogs that discuss some of the features and specs of the dual sim, import iPhone clones. Recently, I’ve begun getting a lot of requests for information about the “i9 iPhone.” The question refers to the CECT i9, which is a clone or knock off from the Chinese manufacturer who first introduced the extremely well loved original iClone P168. This is really an upgraded, newer model that improves upon that original. I’ll clarify how in this article.

Moving From Tri Band To Quad Band: The early clones were tri bands that worked on most GSM networks. This allowed coverage for most, but not all, consumers worldwide. Later, the P168+ Plus came out that added the last 850 MHZ band, building for a quad band. The i9 is an upgrade of this model, so it covers near all GSM networks that use a sim card.

Adding Java: One common complaint of the original iPhone clones was that you couldn’t download additional games, applications or software. The i9 is one of the first clones to include Java 2.0 so this is no longer a problem. This phone allows for Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. There’s also tons of building a bet possibilities as well.

Dual Sim Committed: The older clones did have dual sim slots which allowed you to have two plans or phone facts. Many people use this to have a talk or unlimited minute plot on one sim and a data plot on a further, without being bound to a contract. But, with the ancient clones, you had to switch back and forth between them. This isn’t so with the i9 as both can be online at once.

Shake And Tilt: The original P168 did not have shake control or the skill to exchange the music and video by just shaking the phone. This feature debuted and were very successful on models like the HiPhone and the A88. The i 9 includes this feature, which most people tend to like, although some don’t see the need for it.

Up To 8GB Of Memory (Much More Than The Original): The original clones could enlarge to ancient up to 2GB. This was and still is ample, but for those who feel they need more memory and / or speed, this new one can hold up to 8.

Smaller And Sleeker: Many people have told me that they’d like an iPhone or one of it’s clone, but they have found the phone too large, bulky, and heavy. The new “mini” category helped answer this complaint. The 9 is in this category as it weighs only 95 grams and is also skinnier and shorter than the originals.

Not anything has been taken away from the original. This upgrade still allows for WAP web browsing, email and texting, SMS, MMS, Bluetooth, web cam, digital camera, MP3 / MP4, and FM radio, all without a contract. The quality of these phones may surprise you. The speakers are particularly excellent.

And, the price is still attractive. This model, even with it’s upgrades, still falls in the $100 range, with the 8GB models being a bit more.

I was really looking forward to see all these phones building waves in different aspects of the mobile industry, which i reckon were successful in one way or the other. But at the end of the day there had to be only one winner that would stand out from all the other “SMARTtouch” phones available in the market. Read on for more insight.

Well to give you a brief on each one of them, I would first start off with iPhone – It’s till now one of the sleekest and branded as the most sought after and possessive phone with a massive “sex appeal” and multitouch screen phone available in the market. It has got all the looks you can dream of with excellent user interaction and response. On the other hand there is the latest T-Mobile G1 (with Google Android Operating system) which you won’t even dream of owning it just for the looks but as far as the interface (software side) is concerned, I would say its one of the best in the market with rich Web-friendly Internet Apps. And last but not the least Blackberry Storm which did not bring in a “STORM” in the smartphone industry as probable but manged to get in some positive reception from the users. My personal experience with the phones are discussed below in detail.

iPHONE – A perfect combination of a Phone, iPod and Internet device. My first glance of iPhone was itself very positive, whether you go for the looks, interaction, multitouch screen or the size of the phone. The phone is indeed very lightweight and has got only one home key that brings up the Home screen with options of selecting iPod, Instant messaging, texting, settings, YouTube, Calendar, Maps, Apps stores. The best thing that I came across was when I used the onscreen upright. It was very efficient even when i used my thumb to enter any letter or number, it was spot on ( I didn’t even imagine in my dreams the interaction with the onscreen upright would be so simple) and the overall upset and feel of the phone is brilliant.

Pro’s – No need for a stylus as it has got a very responsive multitouch screen, In-built Memory options of 8GB and 16GB, it also has Wifi and Bluetooth, simple access to all the features of the phone through a single home (circular) pin, very nice iPod as well.

Con’s – No video recorder software (available as a separate download), Very expensive when taken on Pay as you go plans (both in US & UK) , Need a converter to convert MP3′s to iTunes, No separate array slot (have to send it to Apple to get the array replaced), Low profile camera – only 2 MegaPixel (as compared to other phones with 3.2 MegaPixels).

T-Mobile G1 – Best Internet ready device with Google Maps. The interface of the phone was one of the best in the market as it comes from a reputed company “Google” which has one of the best and the simplest online interactive interfaces on the internet (the excellent ancient Google search box). The phone has two home screens which can be accessed by just sliding it sideways. It has one of the best phone locking features by drawing a pattern on the dots which grow on the screen whatever way you want as compared to iPhone wherein you can unlock the phone by just sliding finger from right to left on the screen.

Pro’s – Keypad built-in for quick access to the keys, excellent help for 3rd party applications as it has got an open source software called Android which can be bespoke as required by the users (more Apps. will grow in the future). Has got excellent quality camera of 3.2 MegaPixels and has got a separate array slot.

Con’s – No video recording facility ,Not a excellent option if you want looks. The phone when slided horizontally gives a very ancient fashioned look (not a excellent start from Google in the mobile industry). Not at a excellent phone to involve in your pocket as it is very huge as compared to iPhone.

Suggestion - It would be nice to see in future if Google launches Android on some respected phone strain companies like Sony ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, LG. And if they do I am sure that it will become one of the best upset screen phones in the market.

Blackberry Storm – It is nice phone with excellent looks and nice interface. The best thing about this phone is the resolution of the screen. It is the first phone in the market which has a upset screen with an impression of the keys. You can feel that the onscreen keys or buttons being pressed. The marketing was done to a much extent depending on this feature of the phone but i don’t reckon that it was as successful as they thought it to be. The reason being that is the whole screen gets depressed when a key is pressed which makes it hard for the user to use upset sensitive applications like photos wherein if you want zoom the pictures, you have to first press the whole screen and then tap the screen to zoom the pictures which I consider is not soo excellent.

Pro’s – Fantastic screen resolution as compared with the other two phones, best suited for frequent e-mail users as traditionally Blackberry’s are made for messaging on the go, the size of the phone is not so huge and doesn’t feel odd to involve. Excellent quality camera of 3.2 MegaPixels and separate Array slot.

Con’s – No video recording facility, Not soo excellent multitouch screen when compared with iPhone as the whole screen gets depressed.

Conclusion – So as far as I have seen all the three handsets I would say that if you want to go for the looks with excellent interface and feature rich phone, you should certainly go for iPhone. If you want the best interface and best internet feature rich phone, go for T-Mobile G1 and if you are looking for the best screen resolution with e-mail on the glide (best suited for business users), I would strongly suggest you to go for Blackberry Storm.

The article above is based on my personal experience and views and does not reflect or represent any authoritative agency or power. So whatever choice you go for, it is perfectly up to you and I am not responsible for any negatives. You are free to leave your comments on this article.

The Facebook iPhone app is perhaps one of the best iPhone app that we have ever seen so far.

WeatherBug is a further well loved iPhone application, especially for those who like outdoor activities. It will keep you informed of the current ride out in your state or even the entire country. The application also allow you to access the ride out cameras as well as the satellite maps.

My favorite iPhone application is the iWant. It helps me find services and businesses around my area. iWant uses GPS and location services to allow you to find nearby restaurants, banks, gas, lodging, shopping centers and even a coffee shop around you. One cool thing about iWant is that as you go about in your car, the consequences refresh automatically, which means you can constantly get the latest information from this app even though you are currently on the go.
