I bought the Alcatel OT 708 on Monday 26th October 2009. I have to say it's a nice piece of kit. Mine cost me £30 + £10 topup (Virgin Mobile) from CPW which was supplied as a vanilla handset (no network branding which is NOT LOCKED to any network), it may be the cheapest touch screen phone in the world. It comes complete with a little stylus which is tucked away in the bottom of the phone. The touch screen is very responsive and very easy to use, theres not many applications on it as you would expect being in the that price b racket. It's not a 3g phone which makes the mobile web a little slow, but its fine for updating Facebook statuses and maybe a bit of tweeting. There is one weather widget which is pretty cool (no pun intended) on the front screen. The menus are easy to navigate and some leading brands could take lessons in how make the menus easy to use. The screen is a 2.4 inch and at the bottom of the screen are 3 navigation buttons that operate the menu which light up in blue. You also drag the widgets from the side panel to the main screen. I tend to drag the inbox and missed calls box to the middle of the screen. It has loads of themes and ringtones built in and it comes with game not disimular to Simon. This Alcatel 0T-708 Touch Screen phone is really funky and is also very good fun to use. can I just point out that it doesn't come supplied with a usb cable which is just a standard Mini usb cable, and the software suite also isnt supplied but can be downloaded from from the Alcatel website. It had a FM radio and a music player also bluetooth. You can add upto a 4gb Micro sd card for music, pics. It has a 1.3mp camera. An Apple iphone it isn't but then again you pay a fraction of the price than you do compared to an iphone. So don't expect it to do the same as the Apple iphone as it could leave you very disappointed.
