There’s no doubt that the iPhone changed mobile phone technology. The finger touch interface was an easy sell. In today’s hurried world, consumers want and need a cell phone that is intuitive and user friendly. It can’t get any easier than manipulating data and photos with nothing but your fingers.

Plus, Apple put every gadget that you could ever need in one phone, including MP3 and MP4 players, a digital camera, and Bluetooth. What’s not to like?

Well, the price. The iPhone started out at about $500 for a very basic model, but the manufacturer also required consumers to go with AT&T’s very expensive service. A basic 1,000 minute plan (which I would go through in about a week) runs around $100 per month.

It was clear that an unlocked version of this phone would be an easy sell. Leave it to China to import exactly what consumers were looking for. The original iClone, the P168, is a huge success. So much so that Popular Science magazine called the clones the “real thing.”

Most people would agree that the P168 not only copied the original, it improved upon it greatly by adding bonus features that were clearly needed. The iPhone does not allow the battery to be removed or replaced when it goes dead. This keeps consumers dependent upon the manufacturer for basic maintenance that they could complete themselves. And, the slide unlock kept consumers free to get their wireless service wherever they wished.

The P168 not only included a removable battery, it added an additional sim slot, making the phone dual sim so that you can have two phone numbers or plans on one phone. This has been a huge selling factor for this phone because no longer do you have to lug around a spare phone for leisure or to receive separate calls from friends and family.

Also, the CECT P168 added additional surround sound speakers, bring the total to six. I would argue that the sound on the clone is much better than on the original. That’s good because the clone also has a built in FM radio, and when combined with the MP3, you’ll likely be listening to music quite a bit.

Sure, there are many different variations of iPhone clones on the market now. But, the P168 remains the best seller. It was the first and quite simply, it is the best and the interface is the most similar to that of the original.

But, the deal maker for this phone in my opinion is the price. Today, you can usually snag one for around of under $100.
