Data transfer, battery
There is GPRS, and I would say that this is all, but here’s the surprise: there is stereo Bluetooth support too. As opposed to S853, here they have managed to enable this for data transfer, so one can really think about how much the cost of production of a Bluetooth module is, if it’s no problem putting it in such a cheap phone. The browser supports only WAP, but I hardly think that someone would like to browse HTML pages on such a screen.
The standard USB-miniUSB cable in the box still has some surprises. On one hand it is used for charging the phone, if there is a computer on the other side (the Chinese guys are sending their best wishes for Nokia from us too), and it can also be used for making the small Alcatel work as external storage or as a modem, and the webcam function is present too. If there is some place left where VGA resolution is enough, then this feature is the one.
The battery under the snap-off cover performed as expected, it provide three-four days of uptime for the duckphone. Summary? Wow. This is a cheap phone, it currently costs about €80 EUR at Vodafone. In turn we get a very subjective design, memory expandability, stereo Bluetooth, an MP3 player, long uptime and aggressive colors. If you like the design (and I suppose that the “for women” slogan is very true here), then go for it. As for us it’s:
