  • it's a waste of money... i put it in my pocket and when i removed it, my screen was broken......

  • Great design !

  • this phone is totally rubbish. too slow bluetooth!! not good speakers!! a very sensible screen

  • this phone totally rocks, my wife found it for sale a s 'virgin lobster' for £25 which included £10 of airtime she got one for her birthday and I got one because I kept borrowing hers The phones just brilliant, its sleek, nice to use. And when you put a 2 or 4 gb memory card in it you can use it as an awesome mp3 player or convert your movies off the internet into 3gp format and play them when youre bored great battery life, very cheap and very well crafted by alcatel we absolutely love these phones and the people who made them btw alcatel also give away free mobile phone tools software to connect phone to pc, all you need to buy is a mini usb cable ROCKS were so so happy we have these, they even came with free headphones Love this phone, brilliant: )

  • Hey this set is rubbish.It even dont supports the java softwares

  • no 3.5 audio jack???

  • I used this handphone. my daddy got it for his meeting.haha its cool, the style.but whan i change the theme it became a little late.like i want to open the menu, i must waiting about 10 second lol. but, its good. i hope, next time alcatel handphone have many games. not just two.haha

  • Hello everyone! The phone looks pretty goood but... I like the Motorola ROKR Em25 too so what do you recomend? Thanks

  • Guys i had this phobe. Very nice contains everythings of common use and its features are prety gud. Awesome looks but the defect is that it is made in china and it has no video recording.u cant make folders for storing sms in division but can save only in inbox and this phone's boot chip is complainted to be weak by users. but for music lovers its te best camera resolution is best and the best i found in it is ilts weight just 60 grams and so cute little and expensive looks of this phone.

  • Yes:) Look at the specification above. There is: Camera Primary 1.3 MP, 1280 x 1024 pixels Video Yes Secondary No "Video Yes" is the answer to your question.

  • es qgenial chupar pene

  • Hi can anyone plz tell me where a good website is to download the software for an lobster 621,i've tried using pc suite but when plugged in it won't connect too the software thanks

  • Dont buy it a total waste of money..it comes with no software, camera is rotten, wap is very slow & useless, instuction leaflet v.small print. very little information....most useless phone i've ever had...John

  • Thank you Shannon and Grish for the nice review and comments. For more info on Alcatel and their range of current and upcoming phones mail me on [email protected]

  • this phone is top notch. it has every thing the more expansive phones boast. but at an affordable price. it has plenty of room for music, games and more.its like owning a mini lap top. i love this phone and wouldn't buy any other kind now that i have this.

  • First, my question is - does anyone know where to get a hard, clear (crystal) case for this phone? And a quick review: I've had this phone for a while and think it is a very nice phone for the money. Sure, the camera could be better and so could the screen... but look at the price for a phone that is well designed and built and nicely featured! I would certainly recommend it to anyone who isn't willing to spend more than double the price of this phone.

  • Does this have video recording???

  • i want to buy this phone.. is it good or not

  • This phone if great,i buyed 1 last weak and im w8 my father to buy me a Sim card and Memory card :)

  • i have just got one today the ONLY downside i have to it is the internal memory...its a bit lame but that is easily sorted with a 2GB SD card (which i am yet to buy) camera...not amazing but still pretty good im going from a sony ericsson w810i to this because i can not afford and equally pricey phone.. it lives up to it farely well bluetooth camera mp3 ringtones mp3 player i would recomend this phone tbh. so if you are thinking of getting it. go for it but i recomend buying a memory card for it if you like your music :)

  • it is a light phone and when u put it in ur poket u cant sees it but it breaks easyly

  • Thank you for the nice review. I am glad you like it. For more info about Alcatel email me on [email protected]

  • it's beatiful mobile 2gb memory card games java [email protected]

  • i got the 621 about 2 weeks ago, replacing the virgin lobster tv phone ive had for over 2 years. the look of the phone is supreb, its solid and robust (a tumble down the stairs did not affect it at all!!). the keys took a little getting used to being raised as they are but once past that the phones operation was fine. Annoyingly the games that come with phone are not removable and a few of them are demos which you would think would be removable. the overall operation of the phone is good, making and recieving calls is what youd expect of a phone of this type, the sound quality is about average and when in loud speaker mode its clear enough to hear assuming not too much background noise. the messaging menu is clear and easy to use, with seperate options for sms, mms and email. my one complaint about this phone is the t9 style dictionary, its not intuative and doesnt learn new words as you enter them. Instead you can manually add to a user dictionary which is a little time consuming if you use sms a lot. that aside its predictive t9 style dicitionary is pretty good and i cant fault it in that respect. the built in web browser is pretty basic and supports only basic pages, many scripts on some mobile sites generate various error messages (though surprisingly some sites will still display minus the scripts). installing opera relieved some of the errors but still as a java application its a little slow in running. this little phone can also take a micro sd memory card ( i currently have a 2 gig one in place and it works fine). its multimedia player is very basic, opting to play all tracks in your collection as a default (including your ringtones, very annoying!). but you can use playlists to get round hearing everything you put on there. There is also a built in multi alarm which will allow you to setup from 1 to 5 alarms that can repeat or be used once (ive found this to be very usefull for my shifts). all in all the phone is pretty basic, no frills and fancy bits, but it works, its less bulky in my pocket and it does everything i need it to do.

  • This phone doesn't allow recording of video, but can play it back if uploaded to the phone

  • alcatel phone are verry strong phones

  • All alcatel phones are manufactured in china.

  • i want to ask about the country of made?? is it chaina or what

  • is a very good phone, i get this phone and is thin, the camera of 1.3 Megapixels do the work good but if notice should set the special color effect and set the saturation because in the defaul mode look the colors very bad in images, but the features and functions are very good. is a good phone if look features and quality,

  • sorry i posted this in the wrong place to start with!:) Hi i think it would be a good phone to get for your birthday i have jsut ordered one from phones 4 u and am getting it in a few days i will tell you what its like then. Looks very good for the price though as i cant afford a really expensive phone! Let me know if you get it! xx

  • Exactly how big is it? like dimensions. i read it is 11mm thick, but i saw it in the shop and then measured it out and it didn't look as thick in real life.so exactly how big is it?

  • Actually, as of i don't know when but I do know that if you buy it after 14/01/09 it is only �14.95

  • can anyone help me out . i'm thinking about getting a Lobster L621 for my birthday and really need to know if it is a good quality phone .. if you caould help me that would be brilliant .. thank you looloo

  • I was did the testing for this units platform so i think i know what i am talking about.

  • now if alcatel releae with double sim , blue tooth, radio, memory card . it will be very movable and useful hope you will release soon

  • thank you J and cromp, got myself one from virgin, kept my same number paid �25 got �10 top up, 1000 free texts and extra �5 top up because they were gonna give me �5 zavvi voucher. brilliant deal for lovely little handset.

  • this good phone is very good and i like it bevause it's very good and i'd recommend good people to go and buy it if they are good good be with you x

  • Yeah right,did u using it or just talking???

  • Avaialable exclusively to Virgin Mobile in the UK, is branded as the Lobster 621.

  • I would beg to differ, Alcatel is known to have excellent signal strength and this phone is no different. This phone has very good reception!

  • thanks for you

  • Call quality isn't at that level as Nokia,SE or Samsung but its Ok for this category of phones.As for signal reception, sometimes looses network for a short time(big buildings,underground places,elevators)but for a few secs.This is low budget phone so we can't except so much of it.

  • what about call quality & signal reception plz

  • It is sold in the Uk as the Virgin Mobile Lobster L621 at Phones4u for �19.53 :)

  • Does anyone know how to install Java apps on this phone via usb cable? alcatel pc suite doesn't have that option...

  • So the phone is Ok. -Nice display for 128x160 resolution. -Crappy camera compared with other 1.3MP phones. -Bluetooth connects with other phones/pc/laptop easy and its fast. -User interface is acceptable and fast. -Keypad is comfortable even if it doesn't look like on first site. -MP3 player sounds good and loud. -Battery life is very good, 3-5 days depends of usage. -1GB (trans flash) memory card works very well and its fast. Overall it is a nice phone for people who wants low budget phones or beginners. pozz to Acc and Bocc

  • anybody know a stockist in the UK or even a stockist to deliver to UK? thank you

  • I will get this phone in monday as my secondary phone and i like the design because is similar to my primary Nokia N82.I get it for free from my provider.So will see how it is as i get my hands on.

  • Thank you for the nice feedback Milo.

  • Simply excellent phone by Alcatel. Very slim and compact, packed with mp3 player, micro SD slot, bluetooth and 1.3 megapixel camera, very good battery life, sturdy and nice designed. Uses one universal (mini USB) slot for charging, PC connection, even WEB CAM option and large memory storage, and USB headphones. 10/10.

  • For info about this phone email me on [email protected].

  • very good design...

  • hi i have just got a alcatel OT-S621 dose any 1 know where i can get a manul for this phone if so email me at [email protected]

  • crap 1.3mp camera..other can pass but the camera is total disaster..

  • Ok people... I got a very special question to you all. As you know Alcatel cares a lot about user feedback... and you have provided that plenty to them... and please keep doing that! Now however I have something else for you, the future. I mean... what would you like to see in the future from our beloved Alcatel brand. I am asking you people to send me your suggestions for Alcatel and I will forward them directly to the Alcatel product development and design team. You can send me all sorts of suggestions. If you have great ideas for design... show me... if you have certain wishes for technical specifications please let me know... is there a feature you would like to see in the future, email it to me and maybe there will be a new model soon which will have it. You shall have to be realistic in your proposals though... asking for a 10 megapixel camera with 1080P HD recording for instance will not be considered serious and disregarded. Also... if you have a bright new idea which could be nice to add to a phone email it to me and it might end up being used one day. Email all of your ideas and suggestions to my email [email protected]. Please use the subject "Alcatel Future Proposal".

  • it looks good and for the price its a very good phone

  • People who want value for their money and not an don't want an overpriced phone with features that do not work or never get used, they buy these phones.

  • ALCATEL - who pays money for this silly a would-be gsm thing ?!!

  • 2 years ago when Alcatel started using the new S, C and E designations they stood for Smart, Comfort and Easy... but now they do not anymore. Now all they do is make a cool sounding name.

  • so whats S, E, and C stands for?

  • lo0ks nice very bling

  • it looks classy...good!!!

  • Don, the S series of Alcatel is now not defining "smart" its actually the higher the number the better the specs!

  • I'm first! the specs for this phone looks disapointingly low for a S-series :(
