CECT A8+, another so-called "Iphone Clone" from china, keeps the



same compact and design of its predecessor yet manages to pack in even more

features. It is the upgraded version of 599 or P168, with a slimmer appearance.

The phone has a 3.2 inch display with the resolution 240 x 320px which ensures

a visual display of excellent quality. The new features added on this phone

are shake control and video rotation, one can ?shake? for the next music or

wallpaper.

If you are planning to buy the CECT A8+, you should be careful as there are

two versions of A8+ on the markets, the previous version is Dual band, supports

900/1800 HZ, while the latest version is Tri-band , supports 900/1800/1900 HZ.
