What more can you ask of a phone that very conveniently fits your low budget?
This is a phone that comes in a variety of colours The colours that the Alcatel OT-C825 Vintage Slider has been introduced with are purple, yellow-green, orange, and pink. Some of the hottest colours of the season have been incorporated in this phone. Good news for the gals out there is that you can actually change the panel and match it with your wardrobe every time you hit the party scene with your bunch of close pals. To beat the vibrant colours, the phone is made of a chrome casing and has a finish that is leather-like. If you are a chatter-box, are constantly on the phone, and are worried about the battery life, then your worries will end with the possession of this phone. Surprised?
Don’t be because the Alcatel OT-C825 Vintage Slider boasts of….hold your breath….300 full hours of stand-by time. Isn’t it just awesome! It also has six whole hours of talk time and 20 full hours of video playback or music.
Alcatel’s latest slider is adding a hint of style and utility to what would be a relatively ho hum mobile otherwise, as the chrome and faux leather motif aren’t half bad additions to catch a few eyes. The “smokey brown” handset sports a 220 x 176 resolution screen, weighs just under 100-grams, supports MP3 and AAC ringtones, and packs a microSD slot to complement the paltry 10MB of internal storage space. Additionally, you’ll find an integrated music player, 1.3-megapixel camera, video recording capability, Bluetooth, and moreover, it should last you right around six hours if you’re on the horn incessantly. Interestingly, the device can also be attached to a PC and turned into a webcam for video chats, and while there’s no word yet of a US release, it will reportedly hit the European market sometime this summer.
