Alcatel OT-980 Review

Alcatel OT-980 is a low level Android cellphone, featuring a 2 MP back facing camera, a 2.8 inches display and a good megahertz processing unit. But it's time to get into more details.

Alcatel sells this phone in 2 different colors: black and gray. This device is 4.43 inches long, it just holds a smaller 2.8" display. This cellphone is a bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.63". Alcatel appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.4 ounces device.

This phone is equipped with a powerful MHz processor and only 256 MB RAM memory. This phone counts with a small 198,66 MB internal memory, which could be enough for basic users considering this phone also has a slot for an external memory card to store songs, photos and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.

This cellphone only features a 2 MP back facing camera.

Alcatel designed this device with a interesting 2.8" display, and a resolution of 320 x 240 (QVGA), which makes everything look quite good. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

This phone has Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a modem or router) and 3G fast data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone counts with a poor capacity 1150 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this phone with a quite short battery life. This cellphone has a reported 400 hours stand by time and a 8 hs talk time according to Alcatel.

This phone also features a handful of interesting characteristics like Bluetooth and GPS, and a couple sensors likeAccelerometer and Compass.
