Alcatel OT-255
101. Alcatel OT-255 is a mobile phone from June 2010. If you like to spend less and get a model that has all features of a cheap BlackBerry device, then the Alcatel One Touch 255 is your right choice. It is a budget smartphone developed by Alcatel in addition to the other models in the One Touch line-up. This mobile phone is cheap, but it has a good TFT display 1.8-inch across diagonals, which makes the Alcatel model better than similar budget devices released by other OEMs. The display resolution is 128 x 160 pixels which mean you have a landscape screen, very suitable for emailing and texting. The device includes two stage power saving mode – the screen is dimmed when is left unused. The other intriguing feature of the smartphone is the QWERTY keyboard. It is easy to use despite the small buttons. In terms of connectivity options, Alcatel has limited you possibilities to GSM and GPRS. The device lacks 3G, GPS and WiFi. The Alcatel One Touch 255 has only 2 MB of internal storage which is not something that should bother you, because you don’t have a camera to take pictures, anyway. Overall, despite its bare-bones features, this phone allows you to stay connected and save some money. | |
