CECT A988 Review

This blog is a bit outdated. I would say that right now, the newest clone with TV is the T1. You can check out that one here or at http://i9-plus-tv-phone-review.com/ or read on for more info on the A988.

I've had my hands on this CECT A988 TV phone for a couple of weeks now and it is a real contender. It can do anything that you would need the iPhone to do (web browsing, music playing, video playing and recording, taking pictures, texting (has handwriting recognition), Bluetooth, etc. But, it has made some improvements on the iPhone also. It is quad band and works anywhere. Unlike iPhone you can remove the battery yourself, it has SIX speakers (as opposed to iPhone's 3), you can use any carrier and perhaps the best, coolest feature about this phone is the "TV Out" or "TV export" function, which means that you can you can play video clips onto your phone on your TV, a very cool, unique feature.
