the pre is so much better looking than that thing. It's much more sleek.

Why couldn't this phone have been made by someone that can make phones? The screen is way too small, that keyboard looks difficult to use, and it looks so fragile, I might keep it in a vase filled with water.]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/Feb 18th 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/
Having a usable portrait virtual keyboard on my Droid has helped, but it's not the same. ]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/
They were popular among people that wanted phone functionality for a very cheap price and that simply didn't break when dropped.

not too sure by this phone's sturdiness, but it definitely still has the alcatel feel to it.]]>Feb 18th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/alcatel-ot-980-with-android-hands-on-we-feel-frugal-just-lookin/
