Test report and technical data Alcatel One Touch 320
A reaction report about the Alcatel One Touch 320
Starting à la Alcatel - Dropping and banging allowed!
Plus of the Alcatel One Touch 320: robust and lightweight; a real fighter: indestructible!
Minus of the Alcatel One Touch 320: antenna is a matter of taste, no big-shot technical features
Dear visitors, dear Alcatel-fans,
unfortunately touching the Alcatel One Touch 320 is - paradoxically - not yet possible. In the following we will let our imagination create an impression as realistic as possible - on paper.
For instance, the internet reports: With the Alcatel One Touch 320 Alcatel wants to increase its product range of mobiles for starters. Sounds good, but could also mean: don't expect too much from the Alcatel One Touch 320.
However, we are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Alcatel One Touch 320!
The Alcatel One Touch 320 will probably have a solid, single-colored display with a max. resolution of 112 x 64 pixels. Hopefully the animated graphic display of the Alcatel One Touch 320 will be clearly readable even at night, as the average age of Alcatel users, typically active at night, surely won't increase.
So the French won't dare to let the standard illumination go out in the Alcatel One Touch 320.
Supposedly, the Alcatel One Touch 320 will add about 80g to your pocket. And with its unbreakable antenna the Alcatel One Touch 320 will feel at home everywhere, be it a lady's purse or a school kid's scruffy lunch box. As customary with parking in France, a few scratches and knocks will only harm the exterior of the Alcatel One Touch 320, and that traditionally doesn't matter.
As for the battery capacity of the Alcatel One Touch 320: Up to 7 hours air time and max. 120 hours standby are stated. The Li-ion battery is known to have its flaws. If these were removed in the Alcatel One Touch 320 that would get it some extra credit, of course!
Sorry, no available information about the size of the brand-new Alcatel One Touch 320. But considering the weight of the Alcatel One Touch 320 we don't expect it to be a big log.
We won't tell what we don't know. So here are a few speculations about the Alcatel One Touch 320:
Aside from polyphonic ringer tones the Alcatel One Touch 320 will entertain us with three games. The option to download additional games from the internet via MMS is considered very unlikely to be included in the features, and we don't expect any other science-fiction technology from our Alcatel One Touch 320...
Unbelievably, there's a phone book neatly tucked away on the inside of the Alcatel One Touch 320, with up to 100 numbers. These can be accessed easily and anytime with just a few tricks.
Allegedly also included in the Alcatel One Touch 320: a fabulous organizer with alarm function and an integrated hands-free function ("Daddy, I just wrecked your car trying to make the Alcatel One Touch 320 feel a little more like its knocky French home").
The shock proof qualities of the Alcatel One Touch 320 let the Vibracall seems almost ridiculous...
If the Alcatel One Touch 320 will support sending pictures and melodies via EMS, like all current Alcatel phones, is uncertain at the moment.
Apparently due to its soft surface the Alcatel will be called 'One Touch'.
We wish the newcomer Alcatel One Touch 320 a good start, but we hope the Alcatel One Touch 320 won't end up in the petting-zoo because of its enormous robustness!
We'll keep you posted.
