Alcatel OT-S988W Windows Mobile smartphone for China Unicom

China Unicom has a brand new 3G network called “WO” and has started offering new devices that use all the benefits of the high speed data. One of the devices we caught is the Alcatel OT-S988W, a Windows Mobile-powered smartphone.

It has a large touchscreen (3.2-inches, 240×400 pixels), coupled with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Rest of the specs include Bluetooth and WiFi wireless connectivity support, GPS receiver, 3.5mm audio jack, 256MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM, Qualcomm’s 528 MHz CPU, and we guess a microSD memory card slot. Size wise, the OT-S988W measures 110x55x15.1 mm and has a weight of 124 grams.

Details on pricing are unknown at this stage, and we’ve no idea whether this baby will ever be sold in the Western hemisphere…
