It seems there’s a new iPhone knock off released each week.  The manufacturers are getting very good at deciphering what consumers want in a phone and providing it in a timely manner.  Still, a knock off that included WiFi, GPS, Windows 6.0 and supported Java was a long time coming.  Many of us thought we would get it with the Nokia N95 clone, but we didn’t.  The HiTune T68 does have Windows, but not the rest of the features.  Finally, this trinity of features became available with the CECT T32, (AKA Daxian X999  – but this one is tri band, not quad band.)  This tradition continues with the M88 mobile phone (which is a quad band).  I will discuss the M88′s features in this article.

Specialty Features: Of course, the biggest draw to the M88 is that it has many of the features that other clones don’t – namely Windows Mobile 6.0, GPS, WiFi, and Java 2.0, as previously mentioned.  With Windows and the “flo touch” interface, this phone is very intuitive and user friendly.

The third party applications, games, software, and downloads available via Java are many.  Just some of the more popular applications are Outlook Express, Skype, MSN, Word, Power Point, Excel, And PDF. This really adds another dimension to this phone,  with the possibilities being pretty much endless, based on what you want or need in a phone.

Standard Features: In addition to the additions which get the most attention, this phone also has the “everything in one phone” model that has made the clones popular, like: web browsing, email, texting and messaging (SMS, EMS, GPRS, MMS, and WAP); Bluetooth; MP3 / MP4; FM radio and voice recorder; handwriting recognition; e book reader; digital camera (2.0 mega pixels) / webcam; and data transfer (and charging if you like) via USB. 

The memory is expandable on this phone so you don’t need to worry about it eventually bogging down or slowing up. The M88 has a 3.2 inch screen and the “flo touch” or “menu in and out” touch interface which means that you can scroll through data or manipulate documents using only your fingers. The talk time on this one is a generous 3-5 hours, with the standby time at about 120 hours.

Size: This mobile is your standard sized clone.  It is not as small or as sleek as some of the “mini” models that are out today.  It weighs about 150 grams and has the dimensions of approximately 115mm X 61mm X 14mm.  

Quad Band: As mentioned earlier, the M88 is a quad band, supporting 850, 900,  1800, and 1900 MHz.  This covers most all GSM networks world wide. You don’t need any software.  The phone will read your GSM sim card.  Since the very similar T32 smart phone is a tri band, this is one of the major differences between the two.

Price: This phone is currently running around $250 -$280, depending on the memory included. Sometimes the T32 is a bit more expensive, but typically not much.  But, these phones are arguably the most loaded and complete iPhone clones to date so most feel that the price (which is slightly higher than other popular models which don’t include all of it’s bonuses) is well justified. 

what is Quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900. and can I use a motorola V3i cellPhone in colombia?

Does this phone have a sim card

well a triband phone means that the phone ‘ll work in three diffrent frequency regions so i guess a quad band means it’ll wrk in four possibly with a landliine (analogue) network.

no idea bout the colombia stuff sorry
