CECT i9 With GPS - Does This Phone Exist?

There's no question that the CECT i9 has fast become the best selling iPhone clone on the market today. I often receive a lot of questions about it on my blog. A few of the more common are: "does the i9 have GPS," or "can I get or this application or software onto the i9?" I will answer these questions in this article as well as discuss some of the more popular features of this phone.

The i9: The i9 has tons of features. It's dual sim, quad band, includes the shake and tilt feature, has Java support, and just about everything else under the sun. You can web browse, email and text, take photos and video, listen to the radio or MP3s, watch MP4s, and use Bluetooth. However, unlike a few of the other more expensive clones, it does not include the trinity of GPS, WiFi, or Windows Mobile, but there are other clones that have these features, which I will discuss below.

Can You Download This Software On The i9 Phone?: A reader sent me a link which you could supposedly use to put GPS on the 9. I did not check this out personally and can not vouch for it. If you google these two phrases, I'm sure you could find it, but I would caution you to check this out thoroughly before you download something you aren't sure about onto your phone.

Which Clones Do Offer It?: Although the i9 doesn't have this feature, there are a few models that do. These are the CECT T32 or the M88. Both of these phones are very similar to one another. They both have GPS, WiFi, Windows Mobile, and Java already included onto the phones. The big difference between these two is that the M88 is a quad band while the T32 is a tri band. For this reason, the M88 seems to be a bit more popular.

Cost: The i9 is very reasonable, often coming in somewhere in the low $100 range. The others are a bit more expensive, often somewhere around $200. But, if having these things preloaded in the phone is very important to you, they well may be worth a look.

All three of these are very nice phones, but they differ slightly. I find that the M88 appeals more to business people or folks who want a true smartphone, PDA, or personal computer. Folks who want the i9 seem, at least to me, to be more interested in the entertainment rather than the productivity aspects of the phone. That doesn't mean the 9 doesn't have productivity features. It does and you can download more via Java. But, the folks who truly want a smartphone often opt for the M88.
