Alcatel has recently unveiled two new devices, both targeting low-to-mid range of the market. The twist is in the form factor, as both of these bring interesting features to the entry-level segment.
The first of the two, OT-707 (pictured on the right), is a small all-touchscreen device, measuring just 95×53x13 mm. Specs wise, it comes with a 2.3-inch QVGA touchscreen (kinda small for a touchscreen, though in real-life that may be just enough), dual-band (900/1800 Mhz) GSM/GRPS radio, Bluetooth, music player, FM radio, 1.3-megapixel camera, 10MB of internal memory that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.
As for the other model, OT-800 (the one on the right), again it’s an entry-level device, which dumps the touchscreen for the full QWERTY keyboard. In that sense, this low-end messenger is an ideal handset for young, savvy texters, who don’t necessarily like having bulky devices in their pockets — the OT-800 measures 111×58x14 mm. In terms of specs, it comes with a QVGA screen, tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, FM radio, 2-megapixel camera.
Availability details are unknown at this stage. We do however, know the prices. Once they hit the market, the Alcatel OT-707 and OT-800 will be available for 100 EUR ($126) and 95 EUR ($120), respectively.
