I love this phone for many reasons, Where do i begin, well firstly the phone is like the apple iphone only a lot lot cheaper, it does everything and more than its rival.
It takes two sim cards, so you can use 1 for business and 1 for personal use, the internet wasnt easy at all set up' we had to look on the net to find the settings to programme it' but we managed it easy enough and after many trials and errors we got connected i even brows ebay and have placed a bid on the thing, I would give this phone 10/10 for looks and performance.
If you are thinking about getting 1 then dont hesitate, buy it, i have bought 2 of these, read my feedback if you dont believe me, i got them both this year so jan and feb 2008 is the place to look for feedback to prove i bought 2' If they want any good then i wouldn t have bought the 2nd one would i.
So thats all i can say really, Its a good nice looking phone, it does everything a phone should and more, and so i have read of the net it does 2 extra things that the iphone doesnt, I couldn t tell you what they are as their are so many features on this phone that im finding new things everytime i play with the thing.
The easiest way to get to know the phone and get used to it is by playing with the thing, the more you play then the more you learn new things about it, like i menioned do not expect a easy time using the internet and if thats why you want one then save your money, its simply a phone and pda, the internet doesnt resemble the iphone so dont expect miracles...
Thankyou

I was looking for a touch-screen 'phone with the style of the Apple iPhone but without the price-tag! The CECT is, indeed, attractive in appearance and sells on eBay for between a third and a quarter of the price of the 8Gb iPhone.
I know people who own iPhones and, in comparison, the extra cost does bring with it a more user-friendly, smoother and more refined operation.
To hold, the CECT is surprisingly light; I found it quite comfortable whether in my hand or in my top pocket (although most female friends said they thought it was too large for them). From then on I found the 'phone to be quite 'user-UNfriendly' compared to other types of mobile I've owned in the past. For example, it was not immediately obvious how to turn the thing on...! Making a call was also more of a chore than it needed to be, especially if dialing directly from my contact list - I was hoping to maybe just highlight the contact and press a dial button to call that person but, not so! Several taps, screens and some scrolling took place before I eventually get to make the call.
Texting was equally cumbersome....even with the integral stylus, the various keyboard layouts were far from intuitive, making it difficult and unclear how to swap from lower case to upper case and from symbols to numbers, etc. The freehand writing recognition sounds great but is, in fact, slower than 'tap texting' and was often very inaccurate (also, allowing only one digit to be written at a time).
The ring tones were far from melodic....some being closer to demonic! Above volume 5, sound was distorted and I found myself turning down very low or just resorting to vibrate. I didn't even try using it as a media player because of this. I didn't try downloading any tones because I was never able to connect to the 'net (this may have been my network provider's fault though, more than the 'phone..).
After a couple of weeks I'd had enough; for me, the cons had far outweighed the pros and I sold the CECT to the husband of a work colleague and went back to my Motorola RAZR....!
