out of curiousity I switched to Alcatel and got this unit because of its looks. im a big music fan and its loudspeaker and thru headphones are both highly above average. its feel in the hands is tact and solid depsite its thiness. this is one unit you would not be ashamed of holding in front of your peers because it looks classy and premium. i definitely did not regret I started with this unit after being a longtime Samsung fanboy. battery life is OK, I just use this for updating FB status, youtube-ing, playing music thru loudspeaker & it holds up close to 2days before I need to charge this baby. I would rate this looker 8.5/10

Great phone while it lasted. Only had it for 2 months when it started to act up and now will not even turn on. Called Alcatel and need to send it in for repair. Great no phone for 4 to 6 weeks. Thanks Alcatel. Buy Samsung or iphone.

I have been having touch screen issues with this phone. Very frustrating. The store I bought it from stopped selling them because so many people have been having issues. I made a video to show how the phone acts up:

I have had my unit since last weekend. battery is doing well. 69% after 3 days- calls and texts with minimal wifi use. Awesome phone for the price. Worth every cent.

The touchscreen issue is touch/digitizer problem and its not software issue the only way to fix the touch issue is to replace the touch/digitizer. Mine got fixed in 3 weeks in service.

The alcatel one touch mini was great at first and then weeks later it started to bring the slide bar down all the time and going into settings and when I was in settings it still did it so they need to fix this issue

Well like many others here I bought the Alcatel OT Idol Mini because the sales rep at the Bell store told me it was a great phone. It seemed that way for a couple of months and now the touch screen is messed up. Freezing, glitching, opening and closing apps by itself. Phone is going in for service to have the touch screen replaced but from what I've read here it looks like that doesn't really fix the issue. Seems like it will return later. Not happy at all :(

I purchased the Alcatel Idol Mini from Bell on the advise of the sales person. In just over a month it started to glitch (flipping screens, freezing texts and opening and closing of the app by themselves). I went back for some help and after the second visit and a couple of reboots they replaced the phone. I am in at just over a month and the new phone is doing the same thing. I am going to send it in for a warrantee adjustment and cancel my month to month contract with Bell. This phone has been nothing more than bad karma for me.

i have had 3 of these phones in the past 2 months, first of all the charger and headphone sockets malfunctioned and now the screen will not read my fingerprints therfore i cannot use it, its not a very durable phone and i think that this product should be taken off the shelves because it is an absolute rip off and causes so much inconvenience for people
