Ok so this is my second one of these as the first one had the defective screen issue. hopefully this one is good. the store i got it from (target Canada) at first did not want to replace the phone because it was outside of their 15 day doa return policy for mobile devices. after complaining they did replace it. the phone works great and has good battery life.

Boris, 27 Jun 2014I had this phone for 2 weeks,and screen went blurred with o... moreI had the same problem, the phone work alone, any way, I went to the place where I bouth the phone and people there told that Alcatel indentifyed the problem and tha I should left the phone to change the screen touch and to make a special firmware update.
They made that in two weeks! Now it is a great phone, never stuck and when he stops it is easy to going on, just press the power button and press that again and the phone will unstack. Never reboot to fix the issue. Enjoy this great phone.

It is a pleasant surprise finding this in a mall store. I wasn't looking for an additional unit, but seeing it and then holding it in my hands, I got hooked and bought it. It is light like it isn't a phone, simple to use, very good FM reception. It just so happened that a friend begged to buy it from me that I had to let go. I see my friend often, so I always see my Alcatel too.. Nice phone, really nice... Maybe when Alcatel releases a flagship, with LTE, and as nice looking as this Idol Mini.. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

I've had my mini for three months. Loved it at first until it went haywire. Was not dropped or damaged. Touch screen not working after one or two minutes of use, pages opening on own and flashing, camera not working, total garbage!

mike, 15 May 2014Well like many others here I bought the Alcatel OT Idol Min... moreSame here - Bell said it was a great phone - we have three now in the family - mine spontaneously decided not to let me "touch" most of the letters in my password, so I can't get in. Tried hard resets etc. Bell said to drop it off at a store and they will wipe it and send off for repairs - so everything will be gone; messages, contacts, pics, games, game settings, etc.
just wonderful - I have had regular non-smart phones for close to 20 years with no issues - my first foray into smart phones and it lasts less than 2 months before having major issues; and I get to be without a phone for who knows how long while they "fix" it - and how long before it and the other two go back? I guess once the warranty is up, I will be stuck paying for new ones - gee, thanks a lot Alcatel for your crappy product and crappy service; I was not going to go for iPhones due to price, but I may have to because it is cheaper to buy one iPhone for the next 5 years than a new Alacatel one every damn year

My screen went nuts like a lot of others after 2 months. Returned it to Virgin (Canada), who sent it for repair. Took less than 5 days, and works perfectly well now.
Screen was /is defective. Only solution is replacement. I still like the phone - you can't beat it for the price.

John, 06 Jun 2014I've had the phone a few months now and it worked fine. The... moreThe same thing is happening to me, I have only had my phone for about two months and Im tempted to break it so I have the excuse to buy a different phone. I am going to put mine in to get it checked when I get the money but as far as I can tell, the company messed up while makin some of the phones and you have to get the screen replaced in order to fix it.

You all have to know that the company made a huge mistake installing a defective touch screen on most of the first devices they released. You all must get your touch screen replaced with new ones (if you are lucky). Either wise the device is prety good.
