Phones4U Releases New Version of Alcatel OT-708

A special music edition of the OT-708 One Touch Mini is now available at the official Phonse4U website. The handset, which bears the nickname “Rainbow”, is a special edition version of the device that sports a new color theme and music that features the artist Eliza Doolittle.

The new color scheme is simple and there is only one complimentary music track included in the phone. But aside from that, the handset is pretty much the same OT-708 handset that was released last year. The special edition is confirmed to have a retail price of 29.95 Pounds on pay as you go and this version is exclusive to Phones4U (fans of the music artist would certainly appreciate the cheap price for this handset).

Specs wise, the Rainbow is a standard 2G handset with a decent touch screen display.

The 2.4 inch TFT touch screen gives users 240 x 320 pixels of resolution and about 256k color capacity. It is decent enough for handling most common low resolution videos and for viewing the internet. Images are rendered nicely onscreen but do not expect super rich colors and quality. The user interface on the handset bring together the use of widgets, embedded images and a series of touch sensitive keys located on the bottom of the screen.

With a 1.3 mega pixel camera, this device will not be good for taking super high resolution images. But if all you need is a decent snapper for taking quick photos, it will fit the job nicely. The internal memory for storing content is only 5 MB so users are expected to have a microSD card (it supports up to 4GB cards).

In terms of additional features, the Rainbow offers quite little aside from music playback and web browsing support. Lack of GPS means that no map and location based services will be available.
