Updated 5/5/20 3:50pm - Looks like the Alcatel 3 (black and blue gradient variant) is back in stock at $139 delivered. The other items are back to their original prices though.
Alcatel 3 - Usually between $199-219 on Amazon. Telstra's Evoke Pro (retails at $199) is a watered down version of the Alcatel 3 (aka Alcatel 3L) with a quadcore SD429 (instead of the octacore SD439 here), 2GB of RAM (instead of the 3GB) and 16GB of storage (instead of 32GB). Available in both colours.
