General Comments

The Alcatel OTE DB was my first mobile phone, two years ago. I was extremley pleased of it at first, for the standby time was exceeding 6 days, and the recharge time was about 1-2h. Then, one day, while in a mountain trip, i fell in a river and the phone got 'fishy'. After that, i dried it in the sun, and started it as nothing happened, but the standby reduced to 2-3 days :( After a month or two, the phone suddendly refused to start after a recharge. As it was still in the waranty period, they gave me another, wich worked like new. Then came a party, I got drunk and played football with the phone. Nothing bad happened to it. Then came the Easter, and i got drunk again, and because i had a hatered for that phone, i hit it on the table several times, holding it by the antenna, and again nothing happened. And one day, after a couple of weeks, it stoped defenetley. As it was no longer in waranty, i sold it to a sucker :)) for 20$ (the mainboard was fu__ed-up). Then i had a 5110, a motorola v3588, an ericsson 788, an t10, a siemens sl10 and now i have a siemens m35i, wich i intend to trade for a ericsson r320s.
What I ment is that the Alcatel OTE DB is a fine phone for the first users, and/or ladies, but for the 3 months or so of his lifetime. I have a lot of friends who reported battery or soft failure in short time, meaning the small standby time.
Attention! As i know, it is only one version of sft available for this phone, so it was never updated. The failure consists in showing the battery meter half or more, and if you make a call, it switches off.

    Maybe it's just show-offs that the phone doesn't work for. Grow up, reviewer. The content of this review was not only irrelevant - used simply to show off the reviewer's antics -But makes unwise generalisations about the mobile. Having used this model for 1-2 years (like many acquaintances), it never showed signs of fault, but provided an excellent and simple cellphone.

    I liked the review and appreciated the reviewers' perspective and honesty.

    May i ask why were you throwing your phone on the floor and i have a alcatel which has been droped a few times but surely i've never had to wait 2-3 days to recharge it again.
