Alcatel OneTouch 511

Popular model Alcatel One Touch 511 has a good image within the phone market. This phone also has polyphonic capabilities, and hands-free, so it is not all ordinary... at the same time it does not have an in-built phone book, which is a shame for the phone with such reputation. The front covers are made out of special aluminium, which allows the phone to be light in weight and impact-resistant.
Highly Competitive with similar models of Panasonic GD75.

General
o Release date – march 2001
o eGSM900/GSM1800
o Battery Li-Ion 600 мАч
o Standby period up to 280 hours, and
o Talk time is up to 6 hours, which shows that the phone is quite durable and reliable so far.

o Dictaphone for 20 memos, memory for 3 minutes in total, which is very useful, in day-to-day thing, as I experienced. 3 types of voice recordings - HR, FR, EFR


o Calling/Ringing
o Vibrating alert, I always buy a phone with this function, useful, in quite meeting, college, university lecture, etc.. polite too.
o 32! YES 32, polyphonic ring tones, and ability to make up your own 2 ring-tones.
o You can record any sound and put it as a ring tine! this is quite funky!


o SMS

o Organiser – 5 places, memorable dates 5 places for information. (too bad for a phone with such functions)
