    At this price I would expect a physical keypad. Bloody cost cutting Alcatel.

      You should have posted it as a deal, then people would see it and you'd get the high-fives

      • Detective Pikachu on 05/06/2018 - 10:37

        The resolution spec hurt my eyes, so I didn't want to post it 😆. Definitely good deal if you prefer something minimalist like the Light Phone 2.

          Oh gawd, that Light Phone 2 page is awash with marketing drivel, e.g.

          "Disconnecting is profound in a time when we have become so accustom to our existence only through hyper-connectivity."

    Omg this phone is soooo slow - please avoid if you want to keep your sanity. Especially avoid if you have sausage fingers, as tapping on one key pad would have you mistakenly tapping many.

    Passable as emergency backup phone but.

    • MasterScythe on 05/06/2018 - 10:33

      Really?

      What apps are you using?

      I bought 2 of these near a year ago for my parents to be able to take photos and make phone calls, and it doesn't lag at all doing normal phone tasks.

      Odd you're having such difficulty.

        I've been using this phone for two years. It lags when trying to multitask or just using most apps because of the low RAM. Majority of my phone usage has been hotspotting and usb tethering for this reason.

    Pay 13 bucks more and get the Vodafone Alcatel U3, its actually a pretty decent phone. Quad A53 cores, 1GB ram, 800x480 screen for 30 bucks.

      these phones are fine for primary school kids so they are contactable …. my son walks to school and i track him on his gps to know he has arrived ….no phones in class room they need to leave it in their lockers .

      some people just aren’t into smart phones and mobile internet that much and just want a phone.

      it amazes me how some people hunt sim deals and they don’t even have 1 gb data ….if all they need is voice and sms it might work for them, different people different needs.

      Edit: Just saw it at Coles. Cheers

    • idonotknowwhy on 05/06/2018 - 10:45

      I bought one of these last year, it's a barely functional piece of shit.
      I used it for half an hour to activate android pay, and it should have only taken about 5 minutes.

  • hollykryten on 05/06/2018 - 09:26

    Wow. It comes with a whopping 2GB of storage where i bet 1.5GB of that it used up by the operating system and inbuilt apps.

    • dcep on 05/06/2018 - 11:15

    I have a backup phone that's also from the Alcatel Pixi range, and one of the most annoying aspects is: "PLATFORM OS Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)" + "Internal 4 GB".

    That combo means you will run out of space in no time, even just from the installed apps updating. It's quite annoying if you want to run even a few apps on it (e.g. 7-11 fuel app, google opinions, etc). If it was Android 6 or higher, it wouldn't be so bad, as from that version onwards you can merge the internal storage with the SD card.

    good for kids, oldies, spare phone, thumbs up

  • RedHab on 05/06/2018 - 10:37

    I bought one a while back. Spend an extra $25 and get something with at least 1GB of RAM, as 512MB is too little for WhatsApp etc. Still it amazes me how cheap these are now, similar in specs to the iPhone 3GS, which sold for $899 10 years ago.

    This is my teenage son's punishment phone (he gets it when he gives us lip, doesn't do what he's told to do etc). It's rubbish. He hates it (good). Only 17 bucks though

      LOL! I keep mine as a backup spare (e.g. selling stuff on gumtree, or use it when skiing and don't really care if I have a stack and land on it and crack the screen). But it is a frustratingly painful phone to use, cracks me up that using it would be a good punishment for a teenager!

    I'd avoid this phone purely because Harvey Norman is selling it.

    Buy a Xiaomi Redmi 4x for $100, much better phone and cheap as dirt.
