Alcatel OT-980 Reviews
Alcatel OT-980 review Alcatel makes no bones about the aim of the OT-980. This handset is about the mass market, and its £99.95 pay-as-you-go price from Carphone Warehouse indicates that it is a pretty affordable option as far as Android is concerned.
Alcatel OT-980 review With its unresponsive touchscreen and rather awkward appearance, the Alcatel OT-980 struggles to distinguish itself from similarly priced Android devices. If you're looking to upgrade from 'dumb phone' territory, the low price is undeniably attractive.
