Hey guys I just got the CECT i9 off of eBay :P

For all those who dont know what this is (probably most of you), the I9 is a 3G Iphone clone made in the electronics capitol of the world...china.

For a clone this phone isnt bad though; reception is average, the touch screen works pretty well, it has easy to use features like custom ringtones. One feature i REALLY like is the ability to add background noise during phone calls. You can add your own background noises or ones prebuilt into the phone, for example lets say you are on the phone with your girlfriend and you have another girl with you and your girlfriend hears this, just add the restaurant background noise (lots of people talking) or the white noise background noise and pretend like you got disconnected. :P

Although you may not get REAL Iphone apps on this there is Java built into the phone so you can download Java applications onto the phone for FREE. Applications preloaded into the phone include: currency converter, some games, photo editor (havn't used this yet), ipod like audio player, calander, FM radio, alarm, ebook reader, it also has a web browser (havnt used this yet either) and bluetooth and a motion sensor.

In the end I recomend this phone because of great features and the price, I got the phone for $80 US (with shipping) from eBay and it came with a home wall charger, usb cable (can charge phone with this too), car charger, and 2 batteries. Depending on the seller you may also get a free MicroSD card.

In the end I give the phone a 8/10

Its Quad-Band unlocked. Meaning you can use it anywhere in the world with any service provider that has a SIM card.

In other words you can use any plan with the phone, the plan type and cost depends on the Cell phone company you go with.

My phone carrier is Fido and I have a $25 flat plan with 100 anytime mins, unlimited text and unlimited evenings+weekends
