the P168 is not an iPhone replacement or clone. The P168 certainly does share some design ideas, but in many ways it is an original Touchscreen MP3 audio MP4 video player and an excellent Tri-band GSM cellphone. Think of this as the ultimate pay as you go, unlocked, cheap phone. Bang for buck you cannot really get a better value. Please accept the fact that this phone was originally designed to be used in Asia, and if you want to use it in North America or as a International Phone, that does not mean that the phone is defective upon weak or no reception, just that it is not intended for the areas where the frequencies are beyond specified range. When selecting unlocked phones, consumer need to do some homework according to location and available coverage.

 

  • Excellent phone, lots of fun to play around with. Certainly a great hobbyist gadget, but also a reliable cellphone+player within its GSM reception capacity.  
  • Flashy and good wow factor for your friends (especially when you tell them how much it cost you). Set up your own animated gif and mp3 as a ringtone per contact (if you want), very easy to use.
  • Excellent ability to just turn of the phone and plug it into your xp, vista, or linux machine and be seen as a external HDD. The CECT P168 is equipped with features that work very well. I use the "to do list", calculator, alarm clock, mp3 player, and others on a daily basis.
  • Excellent playback on mp3 audio files and mp4 videos (if encoded correctly). Upgrade to 2gb memory easily with a TF flash card. Two batteries, with dual AC charger: charge the second battery and the phone at the same time.
  • Very good GSM 900/1800/1900 reception. Overall usage is easy (once setup), supports dual SIM cards (not both online same time, just both inside but easy switch). It's not locked, there is some really good iTunes alternative freeware out there, and it is certainly not APPLE.
