The mobile phone has now been a few days in my possession, and I can only report positive so far. The sophisticated look of the device, I have to meet initial doubt underline definitely. Look and feel are really much better than one would assume. Compared to the iPhone 4S or Galaxy SII it is already beautiful in the hand. The 3.2 "display is sufficient for surfing the Internet, and the phone you do not have to keep a huge brick ear.
The dual SIM management really works properly. Just the cards individually rename (eg private and business; data and PrePaid etc) and you can select when each outbound campaign, which card to use. Standard allocation for telephony, data traffic and SMS are also possible. It is also good that you can still be reached, while the other card is used, for example, for data traffic.
On the equipment there unless to complain about, the small processor and memory do their job very well. The operating system runs smoothly and the touchscreen reacts spontaneously to my big thumbs :) hanger or something similar I had so far no; but I will limit myself on real meaningful apps and make sure that the tasks are always cleaned up nicely and do not run 20 unnecessary background programs. A few preloaded games I angetestet shortly. These also run fluently, but I can well imagine that the hardware comes with higher demands on their borders. So not really recommendable for mobile hoarders or games junkies.
The battery lasts despite activity by both simcards or WLAN and frequent use in my two days. Not a bad value in my opinion. The display of the remaining duration of cheating a bit, but in a positive sense here. Because even though I have a remaining duration was prophesied of 4 hours, I was able to use the phone for a whole day.
For camera: they make pictures. No more and no less. So do not expect anything special, which are 3 megapixels for the occasional snapshot but all suitable.
Conclusion:
Alcatel would have with aggressive marketing strategies can certainly establish in Germany since dual SIM smartphones in this country still are among the rarities.
The mobile phone allows me to use a 5GB data plan similar to a cheap prepaid card. Battery life, Android 2.3, first-class dual SIM function and especially the favorable price of around 100 euros make the phone an absolute buy recommendation for rational people.
~~ ** ~~ ** UPDATE 5.8.2012
After several months of experience I would like to say something to the long-term quality:
1. The mobile phone needs often times a little longer until a program opens (unchanged Despite fewer installed apps)
2. Occasional trailer
3. Wireless Internet Hotspot is sometimes very long access times
New Conclusion: Still recommended, but since the initial euphoria somewhat sobering is partially given way in terms of access time, I have to pull off here at least 1 star. Yet functional and cheap to buy!
