Alcatel OT-916
Despite Alcatel OT-916 is a budget friendly device it looks really nice. It feels solid in the hand since it doesn’t crack or flex when you apply some pressure on it. It has an ergonomic body – the backside cover is curved and slightly rubberized. Around the camera lens there is a nice metal band, as well as around the speaker. Overall, this phone looks like a BlackBerry device. It includes a very similar QWERTY keyboard and a joystick in the middle. There are four capacitive buttons beneath the display, for the home, menu, search and back. The volume button is positioned on the right, while the headphone jack and the power lock button are placed at the top. Alcatel One Touch 916 has a keyboard similar to Asha’s 302 model. The keys are square and they produce a nice click when you apply pressure on them. This model has a 2.6-inch display with a low pixel resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. For a budget device, the OT 916 has an average 600 MHz processor backed by 256 MB of RAM. The phone has only 150MB of internal storage at its disposal, but you can add a cheap microSD card sliding it into the slot. | |
