Mobile Phone Haven

Odd one to their simple basic devices with the all-new Alcatel OT-808. The phone sports very basic features, but comes with a design that would appeal a lot of fashionistas around. This phone is indeed believed to have that unique “netbook look and feel” but then the features are definitely vary far away from that. In a closed position the Alcatel OT-808 looks like diamond jewelry with its 1.1-inch external monochrome 128 x 36 OLED display and a very basic 2-megapixel camera on one corner.

On opening the phone it reveals a 2.4-inch QVGA internal display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Other features include social networking integration, email, IM, Opera Mini browser, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, and dual-band connectivity.

If you’re in the market for a simple phone, then you must probably go for the Alcatel’s OT-I650 entry level handset.The OT-I650 sports a built-in accelerometer, which helps in effortlessly switch between applications by just shaking the phone, a music player, an FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and an integrated flashlight at the top.

Alcatel OT-Sport is a tri-band handset for the sport oriented person. It has a built-in accelerometer with handy sort functions. These functions include a pedometer and a calorie counter. An accelerometer-based option mutes the alarm when you shake the handset. On top of that, the phone has an MP3 player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP profile, 2MB memory, microSD card slot and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Not to shabby if you ask me. Expected release date is sometime in third quarter 2008. No price yet.
