4.0 out of 5 stars CECT P168 (New Function), May 6, 2008

I just bought this phone and it's pretty cool. It wasn't exactly as great as I thought it would be, mostly because I was directly comparing it to the Apple iPhone. The P168's new "slide-to-unlock" function is just like the iPhone, but it isn't exactly smooth... and doesn't unlock unless you press the button in the perfect spot. The stylus that comes with the phone is extremely useful and makes the phone much easier to operate.

Putting the battery and sim card in was very stressful. The back of the phone is extremely difficult to remove and it seems like you might break the phone just trying to get it off. Also, the stylus is pretty difficult to get out.

The overall feel of the phone is decent... definitely not as nice as the iPhone, but the price reflects that.

For under $200, I'd say it's worth it, because if it's not all that you wanted, it isn't much of a hit in your bank account.

1.0 out of 5 stars I returned mine for a refund -- not a fan, February 28, 2008

There is a lot of confusion with these -- they say they are tri-band but with "support for 850" -- kind of making it a quad band. I could not get mine to register with the AT&T network (I have bought several other unlocked phones and all worked as soon as AT&T SIM was put in). I am not convinced the 850 freq. really is supported.

The phone comes with no quick start guide and a very bad manual. It is difficult to figure out how to open the battery compartment -- I found a you-tube video demoing it -- but must admit it was EXTREMELY difficult to get the battery/SIM compartment open -- you need to press down VERY hard -- I was afraid I would break the screen doing this.

Some very cool features on this phone, but the overall feel of the phone seemed cheap and not very well made. The center scroll function did not work well -- left, right, down worked but up worked only some times.

I returned mine for a refund -- not a fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice phone., March 12, 2008

I just got my phone little over 2 weeks ago, and I have had no trouble with it what so ever. I have At&t and put my sim it and it works just fine. You need to shop around and try finding the new version p168, or slide to unlock p168. It still has a crap manual but it has updated system with sim cards, and phone networks. Just ask the seller what the phone does or look for the Cect a380i that is one of the newest ones. I hurd a rumor that the quad band is fake and that it just a thing to get old phone sold. If they have the new version with slide to unlock get this phone. I already got people buggin me where to get one. I will say this one bad thing about it thoe the text messageing will get to you after a while cause the buttons are so small.
Get this phone you will like it.
