Remember the Alcatel OT986 aka TCL S900? If you don’t, let me quickly remind you that it’s the single-best smartphone wearing Alcatel’s brand — it comes with TI’s 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 4.5-inch 720p IPS display, 5-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing one, 1GB of RAM, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 8GB of built-in memory, microSD expansion slot, while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is running the show.
Well the device has been launched in China as TCL S900 and is selling for rather affordable 1,999 yuan (about $315). That’s the price of the unlocked smartphone that doesn’t require putting your signature on any contracts whatsoever.
We like it and can only hope Alcatel will also push this baby to other parts of the world as well. We don’t have any information to support this claim though it seems like a common sense to get a foothold in the West with a phone that’s capable and affordable as the OT986…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
