What makes CECT i9 a cut above all the rest of the CECT phones?  While all the CECT phones can be somewhat similar in interface design and functions, the i9 phone is different and much more functional in the sense that it incorporates one of the most sought after applications, Java.

The Java platform designed for mobile devices enabled mobile users to download games and applications into their phone to add more features and functionality.  The past CECT phones manufactured and distributed lacked the Java platform and system that prohibits users from downloading mobile software as most of them require Java to work.  In terms of mobile use, Java is heavily in competition with Symbian and Brew.  And if you are looking for Java application in cect phones, the cect i9 is the best choice for you.

The cect i9 phone comes the closest to the striking iPhone and the most mobile phone reviews say that it is the best among the cect phones ever designed and manufactured.  That is because you can literally download countless Java powered games or explore Java applications available today.  i9 is revolutionary in the sense that it truly encapsulates the good functionalities of all cect phones.  It is for this reason that i9 is the most preferable among anything else.  It is in its nature, a dual sim card – which means that you don’t have to manually change sim cards and go as far as turning off your phones just to get to the other contacts.  It is the biggest among cect phones, but compared to iPhone it is smaller, which makes i9 fit for the average hand.  About the size of a typical credit card, it weighs 95 grams with 113 X 59 X 11 MM dimension.  It supports 1600 colors in 240 X 320 pixels in its screen, with an LCD size of 3.2 inch.  For audio experience, it supports mp3 at the background, in a 63 chord ring tone and supports various audio formats like mp3, mp4 and midi.  The video can be rendered full screen in either 3GP or MP4 format.  Data transfer and file transmission can be made possible through USB cable or Bluetooth.   Some stores include 2 GB upon purchase of the whole package, but the memory size can be upgraded up to 8 GB.

Additional features include 500 groups of contacts and telephone directories (other cect phones can only accommodate 300 contacts); 200 messages in various formats, such as SMS and MMS; a built in game, alarm clock; FM radio through FM stereo and external features.  Connectivity is made possible through GPRS and WAP.   If you plan to purchase i9 phone then the whole package usually include the actual phone, earphones, cable, charger, batteries and a memory card.  i9 is definitely worth it for java enthusiasts and far exceeds earlier versions such as the cect p168c.
