So, I got my new mini touch-screen phone in late December, a CECT KA08.
Though it has 2.0 Megapixels printed on the back, it’s really 0.3 Megapixels. That’s pretty much the worst of it.
It’s much like my previous phone, though even smaller. Just shy of 2″ wide, 3 1/2″ tall, 1/2″ thick. the 0ne I bought is in pink pearl. The screen is almost 1 1/2″ X 2″. It has one button. It accepts up to an 8GB microSD card for music, photos, videos, etc.
In summary: I love it. Like its predecessor, there are some nuisances like being unable to go to the next SMS message. You always have to return to the list view and select the message you want to see which takes a little bit of time.
But this time, the phone does not freak out, deleting all my info and settings. It has retained everything for two months, has a plethora of features, and is tiny and cute. The screen doesn’t seem as sensitive as the one previous, and that means it’s then quite a bit worse than that of the I-phone. But I still look at the I-phone and think–though it’s thinner–that it’s just so freaking huge. I use little purses. I want my phone to fit. I love that I can select any MP3 on the phone as a ringtone.
I can’t wait to use it on my next trip. Till then, I’ve been enjoying its MP3 player, which offers a nice sound without the need for headphones.
I’ll have to take some good photos before putting them up to do the unit justice. Otherwise, you can just search in ebay for “KA08 phone.”
