First Alcatel phone hits U.S. MVNO

I actually saw this story earlier this week, but left it alone. Why? Because while it sounds nifty that Alcatel is launching their first phone in the U.S., I was a bit confused. See, they said it was going to launch on O2. When I think O2, I think the British carrier. Alas, My confusion has been corrected. It appears that they’re talking about O2, as in Locus O2, one of our featured pay as you go phone providers. So all the sudden, this is exciting news.

Really, there’s nothing else to announce. There’s no release date or price. However, here’s a snippet from Cameraphones Plaza about the OT-E206a:

It doesn’t have GPRS, EDGE, 3G, WLAN, Bluetooth, Infrared, USB, built-in camera or Internet browser, but it provides 250 entries for the phone book, polyphonic ringtones on 8 channels, vibration, SMS, and 2 pre-installed games. It weighs 2.43 oz at 3.85 x 1.67 x 0.73 inches and sports a CSTN display of 65K colors and 96 x 76 pixel resolution.

Sounds…exciting.
