alcatel ELLE No 3 - User Reviews

  • Alcatel at their peak in innovation of phone design lol

  • True 2007 innovation

  • le compre a mi esposa este tel hace 2 a�os y la unica queja que tengo al es que no encuentro accesorios en M�xico, ni audifonos, manos libres, car�tulas ect. pero creanme que es un excelente telefono para las mujeres.

  • Can you people help me out to remove the network key from this cell phone.Well to use this phone in nepal.

  • can i use this phone in nepal.we it ask network key,so what shall i do for it.lol

  • Wow! I'm gonna buy this fone.

  • Now its only php5,488 Available at BERLEIN (cebu) Gaisano mactan, Emall, and County Mall

  • its 4,900 i think here in philippines...

  • i bought this phone for my lil sis and she goes out of signal all the time but she has a lot of music and stuff. its good for an mp3 player!!!

  • I purchased this phone after using a Sony Ericsson W580i for a few months. I'm two months into using this phone and I'm already sick of it. I'm a fast texter, and the phone is incredibly slow at displaying these on the screen. If you type "I'm not going to be home tonight" to fast you end up with "I'm not going to a." This phone is strictly for girls, or men that are okay with lipstick icons on their menus. I'm not even that girly. The ringtones set on this phone are quite frankly, annoying, so my phone is always on vibrate. One good thing about this phone, it can take a beating. I drop my phones like crazy and unlike the Sony Ericsson, this phone is still going.

  • ur wrong i lovese..alcatel mobile phones bagged the num 2 among the brands...the features,desyn and the price are uncomparable with s.e...hehehe!alcatel phones s next to nokia..hahaha!thats the reality i lovese

  • i think alcatel is a good phone. i have one as my first phone for 3 yrs. then, it just died out. i replaced the battery, but its no good. its really durable. i drop it often. compare to other brands its far behind. if you want a durable phone with no non-sense. then is the phone for you.

  • pls dont say that its not a good fone...well what fone is it thats too good to be so tough?? i have my alcatel ot-s853 and worked perfectly fine...i once had a friend who accidentally dropped his ot-c825 so high he screamed...but until now its good as new...

  • Yes absolutely. This phone is perfectly fine, it is cheap, well made and fashionable. Sure it does not have a 2 hundred million thausand mega pixel camera and a coffee grinder(yes I am sarcastic here), but honestly the 1.3 mega pixel camera which it does have is perfectly fine, the picture it makes are pretty good (better than most other 1.3 mega pixel cams).

  • I'm currently searching for a new phone, i want something cute, and fashionable, but still up to par with today's technology. is this phone any good?

  • aint it about time some people growed up . bickering on here . this handset is made to be cheap and not to compete with akon fones /

  • For those who need the soft copy of pc suite for this phone, just mail me at [email protected].

  • And all i can say is "I don't believe you" sure there are faulty units... sure that is true!!! But I know for a fact that Alcatel has made quantum leaps in terms of quality and reliability and is in those terms on par with the best in the industry. I would bet you those same cows you mentioned that in relative terms (so that is in percentages) that Alcatel NOW for its 2007-2008 models has a lower break rate than the top brands! Why? Cause I have several Alcatels and all of them work without breaking down. My S853 which is a 2006 model had a firmware upgrade ONCE and is going strong since then... which is 1.5 years now... longer than the average age of an LG or Nokia phone... Pitty really as Nokia knew how to make reliable phones in the past (3210 for instance) but now they do not, atleast not as good as they once did. No offense buddy but that is MY opinion and MY knowledge.

  • Alcatel are the masters of design and innovation, just look at all the models they com out with every year! "Its 2007 and they give us 1.3 megapixels", what will they think of next!

  • This phone is Php 7,400 or 180 USD here in the Philippines specifically in BERLEIN store in Gaisano Mactan, Cebu.

  • who did a what now, if we have to believe that all alcatel models you've sold have come back within a week, then, you are telling the people that your phone shop is selling a damaged or second hand units. The truth is no perfect has ever been made either in software or hardware. So it's impossible to believe that all units you have sold have come back within a week. I and other alcatel users anywhere in the world can testify that alcatel phones lasts longer than any other brand. I have my OT S853 accidentally fell down higher than me for several times now but it still working fine.

  • I don't believe you. Why... because I hear different.

  • omg , these are seiously terrible phones . imo every alcatel on the market is a joke . i work in a phone shop and have sold a few different moddels of this phone ... all have come back within weeks saying its the worste phone theyve ever owned . i refuse to sell these or any made by this company .

  • it cost 199euros, but thats all i knw, but i really want 1 but can't find it anywhere

  • The phone is already available for several months now! Maybe not in your country where are you from? The phone is available online at www.protel.de

  • this phone is announced in feb, but we still couldn't find it , why is so late?

  • You can buy the Elle online at www.protel.de

  • i love alcatel phones...they are trendy and fashionable..I have Ot E801 and it's great..good mp3 player and good thing it has a memory card but its still cheaper..So i think this elle no.3 is much better. As i browse the net about this elle model, I was amazed with the features and colors..Thus anyone knows how much this Elle no.3 cost? Is it available here in the philippines? pls.. help me!!!!!!!!!!

  • How is this a copy? Tell me one thing that is a copy from the mentioned model?

  • This is a copy ... its like nokia 5200 , 5300 i hate alcatel i hope they will fail the company , not to much for them in 5 years they wont be in the market anymore.

  • dont be too harsh on them!

  • yes thats my phone

  • Yeah, kinda like the company i'm working for (Lenovo) :)

  • Alcatel is a French brand, but has its corporate headquarters in China now, where French, American and Chinese designers and engineers work for Alcatel.

  • I hope they will not close their business. Sagem is french company like alcatel.

  • Well no they will not like close their plants, but they went into a low end joint venture to make SE branded phones...

  • yo KnightRider, about your older post on Sagem closing. I don't think they are closing, they just went into collaboration with SE to build low end phones. There's no concrete news about them closing. I think this will help them in the longer run, as it would be sad to see them go. The technology and designs on their latest phones are very good indeed

  • True... but Alcatel will start marketing activities soon I hope for their upcomming high end products.

  • Majority of consumers are brainwashed by advertising..if the advert says the phone's cooler than your cat, then they will believed it. Alcatel rarely able to advertise..and a few of their detractors makes so much noise until these consumers believed it. As for us, we buy with our hearts and heads, and we don't care what other people think :)

  • Exactly... but well I still feel I need to break the constant bitching of the Alcatel brand...

  • Thanks Don. There is really nothing to worry because these people don't have evidence with their allegations.

  • KnightRider, Nelson : Don't mind these people, they don't know what they are talking about. Alcatel closing? Which Alcatel they talking about? Alcatel-Lucent is a huge company and doing well, TCL-Alcatel is breaking even. They are just trolls and it's their delight in making people worried.

  • That's right.

  • Alcatel is NOT going... they are here to stay. Sagem is gone because they were bought by SE and they make low end SE models now.

  • alcatel are def going my local virgin store told me . they wont stock sagem phones too

  • Philips, Sharp, Sagem and other mobile manufacturer are not closing while they don't belong to the top 5. So there's no reason why alcatel should close. As we all know, most companies today retrench employees for cost cutting purposes. Their jobs will be given to a third party wherein the company can pay less. So your friend might be retrenched for cost cutting reason and not because Alcatel will going to close.

  • mobile review are liers ? my friend works for alcatel . they are going

  • Thank you Nelson, the bringer of great news! Good work bro!

  • nikki a, I don't think that it will happen because Dr. Liu Fei, CEO of TCL Communication, reports that in 2008 ALCATEL-TCL will launch 24 models including 3G enabled in worldwide market. In fact he said that thins model (ELLE 3) will be available this year. So it has no reason why it should close. Here's the link if you want to know more details ==>>

  • Nikki A would you please send me an email to [email protected] about that closing you heard? Thanks.

  • alcatatel is closing in december 2007 my freiend works for them and her will loswt her job

  • Donno how can they make this kinda phone ... i think alcatel wont last that mutch anymore , few years and they will close down so sorry 4 em . . .

  • alcatel is on the verge of closing down they wont be around much longer

  • sooo does anyone know if alcatel have pulled their phones off the australian market for good or what??? And for the people that have been complaining about the price of this phone!!! how do they know how much it costs if it hasn't even come out yet...the design is gorgeous for such a phone, but really it's a pity when the whole world is moving towards 3g and beyond the technology!

  • i think alcatel is made avery bad phones

  • this is a disgrace for the price

  • Because for this price the phone is perfectly fine.

  • a old mobile to suit my gran. why dont alcatel get some better designs and features .

  • somewhat out of the ark

  • Thiz fone lookz hot.

  • look, the mobiles are perfectly fine! Period!

  • look the mobiles are well out of date

  • So you want to buy the new Alcatel phones? I would suggest to take a look at www.protel.de. That's the German Alcatel partner but they have world wide delivery.

  • I live in Nairobi Kenya,currently iam using OT-735i,but for the last two years i have laboured to have latest versions of alcatel to no avail.All efforts to correspond with alcatel customer care go unanswered,what should i do? I have even gone to alcatel Kenya whose answer was,'we do not deal in mobile phones'

  • been reading thru alcatel site they have got sum interesting fones and the childish junk written on hear is just idiocy.This fone is bang up to date and if nokia had brought this out you be singing its praises.I think alcatel started mainly doing wat phones should do and thats make calls but some of their kit is gorgeous just looking at the ot 835 i think with its silver play ff rew buttons and 2.1 sound,,its a classy fone but these other firms never stand a chance with silly comments,,and ive come from the nokia bandwagon of bug ridden fones to a simpler fone an s/e w610 and im joining a whole new bunch of people fed up with the top dogs getting the glory wen in real life they are churning out the fones that should be in the bins of supermarkets..ITS a refreshing change to wander into other manufacturers sites and i bet every single alcatel does wat it says and does not crash or have to have constant upgrades to survive

  • this fone is not arriving on the uk networks

  • great phone !!!!!!

  • Well having had a decco at this so called piece of art. I wont be using it for a trunk call in the jungle.

  • they went under my bus last nite . orange could not sell any more

  • orange uk wont be having no more of thease ever

  • plastik aint the word its cheap

  • Fashion designer phone ... more like a plastic worthless piece of doggy do do!!

  • time for them to merge and create miracle like wat sony ericsson did...

  • i thought i saw them buy one get one free

  • no network in the uk wants it . orange had to sell there last stock pile of alcatels for � 9.99 each no one wants them . you have to face up they are out of date mobiles .

  • This phone is slated for release in May/June 2007.

  • Well i would say its the right price if its any more for this chinky handsets it would be an Elle Fantasy. Go and blow your on trunks in the zoo if you can get more for it. Teen girls will no doubt love it

  • sammy this phone is still saying its to be released so netto cant have it,plus why the hell would you admit to going into a nettos store?

  • sammy clamshell, are you sure with the price you stated? The price is too much low for this kind of phone.

  • this is on sale at nettos in the uk for �19.99p

  • This special lady phone will become available in May/June at several providers (as a prepaid model or simlock free version).

  • Is this phone made especially for ellen degenres?
