Last year in the fall, I began exterior the Cect line of unlocked iPhone clones. Although I personally loved the phones and indeed saw the need for them, at that time the economy was still very robust. I figured there was probably a 50 / 50 opening that these Chinese knock off phones would catch on.
Sure, there will always be habitancy like me who love the newest technology and come to be absolute giddy at the idea of not having to pay anywhere near full price for it. And folks like me hate the idea of being tied to an costly carrier / network or a long term contract, but not every one worries about networks and I fully realize this.

Even so, this time last year my assertions that the Chinese iPhone clones were indeed better in some ways than the primary fell upon some deaf ears. Yes, the clone manufacturers allowed for a removable battery, added more speakers, and also added an Fm radio an supplementary sim slot, but this was still not sufficient to intrigue those who wanted the original, which is still indeed understandable.
But, as the economy soured and the iPhone clones became more mainstream, the tide began to turn. habitancy who had indeed laughed at my talk of clones before are now request me about which ones they should maybe think buying. The market has grown so much that the tri band models were extensive upon to include models that retain all Mhz bands (quad bands).
So, as I write this nearly a year later, I'm very grateful to be writing about the differences in the middle of two quad band knock offs, because that means that this market is going very strong. Now, onto the SciPhone versus Cect P168 Plus.
Quad Band Version of the iClone P168: The primary Cect P168 was (and probably still is) the best selling, most well known iPhone clone on the market. It was the primary and in my opinion, it is still among the best. (And it is by far the easiest for which to secure accessories.)
However, if there was one complaint to it, it was that it only supported networks on 900 / 1800 / 1900 Mhz bands. A few carriers (like some rural A&T customers) are on the 850 Mhz band, as well as are carriers exterior of the United States. To address this, manufacturer Cect rolled out the updated, version of the 168 (called the Plus or 168+) that included the 850 Mhz band.
Today, this quad band has new, updated: slide unlock feature; web cam; e book reader; and diminutive improvements to the camera, Mp3 / Mp4, and software. Additionally, the touch screen on the new version feels a bit more like glass.
So, How Is The SciPhone Different? This one is called many distinct names, including the Cect i68, Java 32, or the Y32. Some habitancy think this the newest update to the P168 Quad Band. Although there are some similarities, I think the changes to this one much more considerable than the 168 adding an supplementary band.
The SciPhone is a shake and tilt model, which means that you can develop music, media, photos, etc. By only slowly shaking the phone. You can take the images to wide screen by only tilting the phone. There's no scrolling involved. This feature is a bit controversial. Folks either love it or don't see what all the hype is about. (I love it and find that it makes the phone very intuitive.)
But, in addition to shake and tilt, there are three major ways that the SciPhone is indeed different, as follows: 1) It's a bit smaller and sleeker than previous clones; 2) It's slightly faster than previous models. (Slightly is the operative word here. I'm only talking milliseconds, but I know some habitancy think this important.) 3) It has the newest version of Java which opens so many productivity and gaming doors, like PowerPoint, Word, and Excel to name a couple. The gaming download possibilities are numerous here.
Both phones are high performers with very solid customer satisfaction. I like them both. Price wise, you will typically pay - more for the SciPhone, but if you think the supplementary productivity and gaming possibilities, this does not seem so bad. And, most times you can get either for under 0. If you know you need a quad band phone and want a clone, which of these you prefer indeed depends upon either you want the newest version of what has been the best seller or the new, (but very loaded) kid on the block.
