The CECT N95 was eagerly awaited. That’s because the Chinese manufacturer did such a phenomenal job copying and improving upon the iPhone with the P168, that tech geeks like me were holding our collective breath to see what the company could do with Nokia’s best selling N95.
Generally, the replica N95 was worth the wait. The knock off is a great looking phone, and is strikingly similar to the original. With its sleek lines and double slider design, this is one phone you’ll really be proud of carrying.
But, looks only take you so far. The features on the Nokia are what really drew the masses to it. With its touch screen, it’s TV out feature, a 5.0 mp camera, WiFi and GPS, as well as the ability to surf the web, email/ text and its whopping 8GB of memory, the original phone has everything a consumer could possibly want.
However, this all comes with a high price tag. As of this writing, the cost is about $650. This is a deal breaker for some. Many of my friends agree that any phone that cost over $300 is just too much, especially since the technology that seems so innovative today will be old news tomorrow.
Obviously, the clone is tons cheaper, usually running under $200. But, how does it stack up to the original?
Pretty favorably. The knock off does tons of standard features, including: dual sim slots; Bluetooth 2.0, full MP3 and MP4 capabilities; a 2.0 mega pixel camera with video cam; the ability to surf the web, email, and text, to name only a few.
What it lacks though is the GPS and the WiFi. It also has 2GB of memory as opposed to the Nokia’s 8GB. However, it does offer the ability to have two phone numbers or plans on one phone. Dual sim is a very popular draw of the clones. It is a very useful feature for people who previously carried around two cell phones – one for business and one for family and friends.
Whether this phone appeals to you depends greatly on if you need to have all of the features. If GPS and WiFi are vital, then this phone may not cut it. But, if you don’t need them, the CECT N95 is a very high performing, stylish, modern phone with all of the bells and whistles, a great camera, phenomenal speakers and a sufficient 2GB of memory for a very low price.
