Multimedia
We don’t have to talk much about the camera, as the VGA resolution is nowadays included in these phones only to be able to write on the box that it has a camera. According to this, exposure is lightning fast, saving the images takes only a moment, but of course there is no flash, while autofocus has only been present in the nightmares of Alcatel’s R&D guys. The menu that appears in case of the landscape viewfinder (in this phone? why?) has nice features, but this is absolutely unnecessary for such a performance. And the whole thing is even tricky, as no matter that we see the menu in landscape when taking a picture, the images still get taken in portrait, this can be seen on the blots below, that are called as photos.

In the box we can find a headset too, which has a miniUSB connector. The duck-phone can be charged through this and it also tries to offer some musical experience this way. Of course the headset is no big hit, but it has a pleasant medium quality. Through the speaker the volume is a bit faint, but at least there’s no distortion.
The music player’s interface, however, is surprisingly good, it has four views, and there is a realtime spectrum analyzer in all cases to provide some visuals. There are equalizer presets, playlist support, sorting by ID3 tags and the software can run in the background. When closing the phone the currently played file’s name is displayed on the external screen (this is funny, and even more, in case of a too long name the software just simply cuts the text and we can see something like AUDIOT~1.MP3), and then there’s a short animation for public entertainment. There is only one thing missing (but we miss that a lot), that there are no volume control keys on the phone’s sides, so we’ll be in trouble when the phone is closed. We can set the three keys on the cover to change the volume instead of changing tracks, but of course we don’t have anything to skip tracks.
In terms of gaming Java applications are supported, there are two already installed on the phone. In the game called HeliMinator we have a very angular soldier to shoot down helicopters, while Rocket Advanture (the second a is no misspelling, or at least not from us...) is one of the lamest platform games I have ever seen on a mobile phone.
