Excellent, Cheap Little Phone!

Advantages: Nice User Interface/Menu, Lots of Features, Good Sound Quality, Lightweight, Decent battery life.
Disadvantages: Only GPRS internet, Should support more file types

I bought this phone when it was first released back in September for £49 on Orange, including a £10 top-up. For that price, this has to be one of the best phones on the UK market for under £50 . Im not sure on its availability/price in other countries but I would expect the price to be similar. It's touch screen is very responsive and resistant to damage and scratches, however there is no handwriting support. This phone comes in a variety of colours; ...
...This phone has some pretty decent features. It has a nice 'widget' section on the main screen from which you can access music, images, internet, messages and the weather and you can drag the icons to the main screen section to enlarge them. I absolutely love the clever little weather application, it found my town easily and its weather forecast is extremely accurate! I also like the LED light buttons on the front, they're very nice and also responsive ...

Alcatel One Touch Easy

Advantages: Small, lightweight, Stylish and looks good.
Disadvantages: Processing speed is very slow.

...there.... I am using this alcatel One Touch 511 mobile phone which i really like, but unfortunately there are certain points about this phone which makes me hate it. * Processing speed of messages and searching of names in the address book are damn slow. ( Well i went through one of the guys review on this forum as he says that the users should have patience. But for his information we dont use phones for fun but for a real necessity). *Poor graphics ...
...of the other phones than alcatel 511. *Love the polyphonic tones but unfortunately the volume isnt enough. *Searched all most all the sites available for 511 ring tones but none of the alactel notes are compatible for this phone. *No equipment available t listen to radio although the radio option is available. (Alcatel hasnt manufactured this headset i guess) ...

Review of Alcatel One Touch Easy

Great for Orange Wednesdays if you can manage to text

Advantages: Cheap, neat, small, clamshell
Disadvantages: Very hard to text with

WHY BUY THIS PHONE? Alcatel OT-S319 I first came across the cheap little phone when a friend of mine was over from Australia and needed a phone with a UK sim. One way was to get her phone unlocked and then put in a UK sim in her phone or the other solution which she went for was to buy a cheap UK phone with sim included. We looked at Tesco but their cheapest was £19 so I went across the street to the Phones4U and found this cute little phone in either ...
...£10 worth of credit so it comes to £19.95 but of course you need credit anyway to make any use of the phone so it is a great little buy. My friend bought hers and I was so impressed that I decided to buy one too. I wanted mine just to get orange Wednesday cheap tickets for the cinema. I already have a HTC phone through BT that comes with our broadband and another old phone on Tesco mobile that I have had for about 10 years but it still does what ...

Review of Alcatel OT-S319

What's in a phone?

Advantages: The menus are easy to follow.
Disadvantages: The handset feels quite chunky.

The one touch easy db is of a good quality and will stand up well to reasonable wear and tear. You can be quite rough and the handset will still be intact. The functions on the phone include all the basics that you need, and the sms service racalls all the previous messages sent. I would suggest that the disadvantage of this is the phones sms capacity is only 20 messages and this includes bot messages sent and received. The menus themselves are ...
...choice of using the side buttons or the keypad to move through the the given menu choices. I found that it was easier to navigate the phone using the keypad. One of the main problems I particularly found was the small screen so that if you were typing a message you could not see much of the message you had written and vice versa when reading a message sent. Unfortunately the phone does not have predictive text messaging facilities and it takes a ...
