The Alcatel 708 is unusual in many ways. Not only because of its outer casing, which harbours a colourful edge to it, but also Alcatel's ability to incorporate an impressive touch screen into a phone in this price range. Available in metallic blue, silver and acid green, this vibrant handset provides an impressive level of technology incorporated into a colourful and endearing unit.
This model is also known as the one touch mini, and this description accurately describes this handset considering it is only 96 mm x 52 mm wide and only 14 mm thick as well as only weighing 82 g in weight. However it may be small in size but it does offer an impressive level of technology, starting with its 2.4 inch TFT display screen.
The display screen is a touch screen, which displays up to 256,000 colours within a pixel screen size of 240 x 320 pixels. It provides a range of embedded images and animations which bring the screen to life. A variety of home screen widgets add further colourful rendition to the screen, while the handset also provides accelerometer sensor capabilities. Navigation around the functionality is simple and uncluttered and benefits from touch sensitive keys provided.
Entertainment is central to the tenement of this particular handset, and this is served by the inclusion of an MP4/MP3 player as well as an FM radio with RDS capabilities. The player will comfortably play a variety of downloaded music and video files whilst the radio provides an alternative form of entertainment, by providing the ability to tune in to a wide variety of radio stations, located around the country. The phone incorporates a 1.3 megapixel camera, which whilst relatively low resolution, suits the phones capabilities. The camera also provides the means, as an alternative to still imagery, to take video.
The phone comes with a variety of connection options which include GPRS, Bluetooth and mini USB and also has an internal memory of 5 MB however, for those who require larger memory storage capacity, the integrated card slot can be utilised to increase this up to 4 GB.
The Alcatel 708 is a phone that does not resemble many of the handsets currently on the market. Alcatel seem to have taken elements that are popular from other units and incorporated them into a simple and assuming handset that pushes all the right buttons.
