I think I prefer this phone over the iPhone 3GS. This has a 1GHz processor, and 512MB RAM, for a decent price of about $70, or less, I guess? I would highly recommend this phone for anyone looking for a budget smartphone with good quality. It also has a 3.5in display, which is the same display length of the iPhone 4. The only downside of a phone of this category is the pixel density, which is 165ppi. Maybe if they could make it a bit higher, and bump the price up a bit, this phone would become an instant bestseller for those people who can't afford a high-end smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy SIII or what.

    For the price this phone is unbeatably good. Apps run fast, overall everything works well. Camera is definitely not great but for this price very good. Battery life (with battery saver app running) is also great.

          I would take the 983 over the galaxy ace - the camera is 3.15 with standard android on screen features, but the 1gb progessor makes apps and browsing exceptionally fast easily as good as the iphone 3gs if not better. Still can't believe how good this phone is for the price, have had it for three weeks now and not a single issue or bug. Fantastic!!

            I originally wanted to get the Alcatel OT 983 but then I saw the Samsung galaxy ace and I'm wondering which is better. You see I would need a good camera which the ace has (5mp) and good Internet and app view. But I don't know if the Alcatel is good enough for what I want.

                this phone is a bargain its very good and ur right if it was made buy someone else would cost well over £100, its better than my old galaxy ace and alot faster, who cares if its got 150 mg of space everything goes straight to sd card anyway so its never really touched, a must buy before it goes up to £99.99 :-)

                  Got this handset for £40 on O2 at Christmas, didn't have high hopes but I have blown away by this phone - excellent solid build quality, clear bright screen, lightning fast operation, responsive screen and buttons. The camera is quite low spec but still works perfectly fine. If this phone was made by one of the bigger manafacturers it could sell for two or three times this price and would still be excellent value! RECOMMEND!!!

                    too little internal memory, a 5 Mp camera & a 720p video camera would perfect this phone. I would rather pay a higher price than to buy a inferior spec phone at today standard.

                        This phone has a regular sim card slot NOT a mini-sim card slot. There isn't even such a thing, there is sim, micro sim and nano sim.

                        It comes with android 2.3.7 btw and comes with a 2gb microsd card.

                          i got one but downsides are

                          screen isnt brill its not that colourfull and when you look at pictures you can see like dots or weird shapes and it not super clear to look at them

                          but so for the sound is decent but installed volume+ and it makes it more louder

                          touchscreen works as it should and works well
                          phone loads apps and files fast

                          phone design is very good and battery life is decent depending on your usage

                          shame about having no flash and no ics rom

                          for £39.99 you get what you paid for having a cheap screen and no flash but still decent

                                      Well worth a look is the Alcatel OT-983 Android phone.
                                      1gig processor, loads of apps, lots of spec and all for just £39.99 including free delivery!!
                                      Check it out at http://www.o2.co.uk buy online or in store.
                                      I purchased one a week ago, quite impressive for the money.
                                      Just lacks a "Posh" label.
                                      Not happy with o2? Get it unlocked and choose another service provider.
                                      Seasons greetings to all.
