Alcatel planning to bring budget Blackberry looking Android device to UK

Mobile World Congress is slowly approaching us and we can’t help but get antsy at what the manufacturers around the globe will be bringing to the table. We have heard of Tegra 3 powered HTC devices, ASUS Padfone and potentially an Intel powered Motorola device packing Ice Cream Sandwich. What about some of the lesser known manufacturers that exist to offer alternatives to the big boys? That is where French company Alcatel comes in.

They are expected to bring their latest OT-915 to MWC and thanks to some work by Ben, it is confirmed for a UK launch. The OT is not aimed at high-end Android users, but rather the text junkie that wants a little more. Sporting a QWERTY keyboard just below a 2.8-inch touch screen. It has a Blackberry /Palm Pixie look to it. It will be running with a slightly skinned version of Android 2.3 and have a standard 5MP camera. It definitely is not Nexus, but there is a market for budget devices overseas.

Alcatel has yet to release a launch date or price just yet but confirmations put the device to market this year. Their previous models, the OT-980 and OT-990 sold for just under £100. With lower end specs, we expect this little guy to sell for a similar price tag.

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.
