Carmanen , 03 May 2017I kinda understand their pricing here as Elite x3 is mainly... moreTried this phone and I was indeed tempted to buy it but then of course I couldn't due to its high price especially with the desktop kit. I mean $599, that's just crazy.
So after checking some rave reviews about Alcatel Idol 4S Windows I went for it. Yeah it did cost me cheaper. $275 for the unlocked version from Amazon, $60 for Microsoft display dock from eBay and $30 for Microsoft Wireless All-In-One Media Keyboard from Amazon. So at a total price of $365 I can do all the things a HP Elite x3 with desktop kit priced at $599 can.
The only thing I miss is the Quad HD 6 inch panel of HP Elite x3 but I can live without it.

Carmanen , 29 Apr 2017I totally agree with the price! HP is insane :DEspecially now when the factory unlocked version of Alcatel Idol 4S Windows is available in Amazon for merely $280. Even the overpriced iPhone 6S is cheaper than this phone. I just hope HP will reduce its price.

... moreYou know at least HP Elite x3 won't shatter into pieces if it falls, that glitzy and shiny glass back of Alcatel Idol 4S Windows of yours would break like cookie if it falls. Your Idol 4S Windows may have same specs as this phone but it can't be even half as durable as this phone.
Better opt for costlier but durable device than opting for a cheaper shiny glass toy.

Larmode, 12 Apr 2017I really love this phone but its price is keeping me away!Same for me. Prices here are €800 to €850 with the docking station, but that is a lot of money. So I am still hanging on to my Lumia 930.

Aadrian, 07 Apr 2017It would have been nice, amoled and glance are a good combo... moreYes the new update enabled the usage of LED charging indicator as the notification LED.
But you can't change the colour of the notification LED.

Jeff, 02 Apr 2017No it doesn't. Glance screen is exclusive to Lumia devices.It would have been nice, amoled and glance are a good combo which I am missing on my Lumia 930. If you had it before it's hard to miss it since it brings much convenience. Does it have an LED for notifications instead?

... moreBut is your Alcatel Idol 4S Windows MIL-STD 810G - grade salt, fog, humidity, transport shock and thermal shock resistant and IP67 certified - dust and water resistant?
I don't think so.
Does your Alcatel have NFC?
No it doesn't.
Does Alcatel have Bang & Olufsen audio system?
Not at all.
Does Alcatel have a 1440 x 2560 resolution display?
No it's still stuck with lower resolution 1920 x 1080 display.
Can your Alcatel survive drops like Elite x3?
Good luck trying it, the so called stylish glass body of your Alcatel will break like an egg.
Alcatel Idol 4S Windows may have same processor and storage as Elite x3 but it's quality and ruggedness nowhere close to Elie x3. Alcatel Idol 4S Windows is just a cheap device with flagship grade processor, just like OnePlus 3T but phones like those can be never be equal to true flagships like HP Elite x3.

To be frank, Elite X3 is having the best specs in terms of compliance to Mil Std and Dust/Water proof, Iris Scanner, fingerprint and double tap to close and awake, wireless charging and many cool features. The hardwares are very good and l'm impressed. However the setback is the limited softwares that compatible with Microsoft Continuum. Hopefully, HP and Microsoft can make the next Elite X3 update to work as a real PC and run the classic softwares of Windows 10.

Anonymous, 22 Feb 20171% every 10 minutes is 1 hour 40 minutes. Something badly ... moreI am sorry but your math is wrong.... 1% every 10 minutes is 1000 minutes.... Since one hour contains 60 minutes you devide 1000 by 60 and you get 16.6 hours.. And that is more than half day.. Not 1hour 40 min.... Btw the phone looks nice... I love windows phone... My lumia 950 is awsome....

AnonD-652092, 12 Mar 2017As of now no the lapdock is only designed for the HP Elite X3Found the lap dock in Microsoft store.
I bit the bullet and bought it despite of its outrageous price of $599, anyway it works with Alcatel Idol 4S Windows too.
