A Review Of The CECT KA08: It's Small And It's Cheap But Is It Good?

I'm starting to see a lot of interest in the mini iPhone clones, particularly the CECT KA08.  People love the size of this phone as well as the availability of different colors for it.  This one really has most all of the features of the most popular models shrunken down to a phone that fits very easily into the palm of your hand.  In this article, I will go over the performance, features, and pricing on this teeny tiny iPhone clone.

That Small Size: I believe that what draws most people to this phone is it's cute little size.  Let's face it.  There's no denying that the iPhone is kind of bulky.  You can feel it when you put it in your pocket.  Or, it peeks out of your purse.  It's a bit heavy too.  The KA08 doesn't have these issues.  It is literally the size of a bank or credit card. It only weighs 68 grams and is among the smallest out there.  So, if size is your main criteria, this one will likely make you pretty happy.

KA08 Colors:  Another stand out to this phone is the color options.  While we've had red, white, black, silver and gold for a while, you're less likely to see hot pink or pastel pink, royal blue, or apple green.  But all of these colors are a reality with the KA. Of course, you still have your red, black, and white too.  And frankly, I believe the white and red looks best because of the high gloss finish to this phone.  

KA08 Features:  If you like the i9, you'll find most of those features in this phone.  This one is quad band and dual sim active.  It has the shake and tilt feature.  It has Bluetooth, WAP, SMS, MMS, EMS, FM radio, and an ebook reader.  Even in this small package, you'll find a music and video player. There is handwriting and voice recognition and voice dialing. You can assign ring tones and photos for each contact.  The camera / web cam is a bit of an upgrade at 2.0 mega pixels. 

But, what this one doesn't have is Java (at least most of them on the market right now.)  If you are dead set on having Java, then you may want to check out the i9 3G.  The CECT i9 3G is a bit smaller too (though not as tiny as the KA), does contain Java, has 10 pages of new icons, and comes in red, white, and black.

KA08 Performance: Like most CECT's, the speakers on this one are loud.  The finger touch is responsive and the browser is pretty quick, especially if you use Opera Mini. The screen resolution is really outstanding and it's wonderful browsing the net on a larger, flat screen.  Frankly, I was skeptical of the real usability of a phone this small, but it holds up.  Texting is better than I thought, although I do prefer to use the stylus.  And, the size is nice when you want to just throw this in your pocket and carry nothing else.

Price: This one is attractively priced.  You will usually not have any trouble finding one for under $50 even with 8GB. And, you can use any GSM sim card with this phone, including pre paid or pay as you go.  This frees you up from contracts or a monthly bill if you like so that the savings over the price of the phone are more than what you save initially.
