TechRadar have published a review of the Alcatel OT-980 Android handset. '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. Still, it is a 3G handset with Wi-Fi, and GPS, and while it is more closely related to the LG Optimus GT540 than the HTC Desire, it is Alcatel's flagship model. Not content just with pushing at the price barrier, Alcatel has come up with a novelty in hardware design too. This is a slider phone, and there's a full QWERTY keyboard available for you to tap out text to your heart's content.'

3G.co.uk have published a review of the Alcatel OT-708 Touch handset. 'The OT-708 Touch is a compact, pebble-shaped little handset and is rather nice looking, despite its plastic shell. The only hard keys to be found are the power button and volume keys on the side of the phone - all the other controls sit on a thumb pad below the screen, with each "key" symbolised by a neon light. Depending on which screen you are using, these lights appear in a diamond formation or an arrow. There's no sign which key does what, and while it's something you will learn quickly enough with practice, it's frustrating at first.'
