Score 2.0/10
Good points:
The phone itself has a stylish design, probably very popular with younger users who might enjoy its touch facility, music and camera functions.
Bad points:
A little too sensitive for my taste, probably ideal for younger users with smaller hands however I found this phone very difficult to use, the keypad a little too sensitive and not particularly user friendly.

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Alcatel OT-708

  1. hi im after some headphones for my alcatel ot-708 just to listen to music that plug into the bottom of the phone any ideas
    ian asked on
    1. The shape of plug that goes into this model of phone is the same as the connection to a USB lead for a card reader for photos. Not the USB end, but the other one. The shape is rectangular top side shorter so has sloping sides. Radio Shack might stock phones for it? Try Tesco store for replacement headphones or Ebay, maybe??? Hope that helps?

  2. is it unlocked and can you use it without problems and does it come with aq stylus...im thinking wheter to buy it or a vodafone 547...
    Mohammed asked on
    1. Can't answer about vodafone 547 - no info. My Alcatel did not come with a stylus. Without this device, the phone is awkward to use. I need to buy one. The battery life on standby is not long enough I have found. Compare others before committing to buy Alcatel OT-708. The longer I have mine, the less I like it now. Just texting is also not efficient. Hope this helps? GM
