Camera Phones Plaza

Alcatel mobile phones fans must be a little bit disappointed by the fact that the company isn’t what you can call a prolific company as far as the novelty and the promotion are concerned. But the latest handset expected to come out under this brand surely deserved a bit of our attention. This means that Alcatel is still hanging around, if you dared to think otherwise!



Maybe you won’t be able to say much about this brand new device by only looking at the design, but there are some features that worth mentioning. Called Alcatel OT-I650, the phone is an entry-level one that comes equipped with a G-sensor (you might know it as an accelerometer). The whole idea of including this is to help the user to handle the phone more easily. This way, switching between applications – like music player, games, alarm – will be a piece of cake from now on. The only thing you have to do is simply shake the phone, which means that the handset has some sort of a Shake Control function, similar to lots of Sony Ericsson phones. There is no doubt about the fact that the shake control feature will prove itself to be very useful when playing games.



Besides the shake control function, the OT-I650 is also a sporty device, as it integrates a pedometer that helps you keep a count of every stop.

Alcatel OT-I650 is a candybar manufactured by TCL Communication Technology, a Chinese company that produces Alcatel cell phones instead of the French-based Alcatel, which is now part of the Alcatel-Lucent joint venture.



Other specs of the new Alcatel phone that should be taken in consideration include: a music player, FM radio, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel camera, flashlight, a talk time of up to 12 hours and stand-by time of up to 30 days (which sounds pretty amazing, right?).



Alcatel OT-I650 will first be available in Russia, in two colors (black and orange) and can be purchased for an amount of 3,190 Russian rubles. That’s about $120, so the phone is quite cheap. There are no words on the availability of the handset in other parts of the world.
