Alcatel E265 Flip Phone mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Small, handy, not too big in your pocket I like the ring tones.

- None

+ A basic mobile useful for simply making and receiving phone calls

- Even a slightly weak signal makes what I say difficult for the receiver to hear, though not the other way round

+ good first mobile for young girl or just as a basic user (calling and texts), fairly stylish, easy to use. would recommend at that level, but with reservations

- lacks camera! i think that now most people expect a camera mobile even on a starter model. camera mobiles have become so sophistcated up to 5mp, and most now run 1.3mp and above (or perhaps even 2.0 in reality). even a basic cif/vga cam should be at least included, the argument on bluetooth and expanable memory could be put to one side, but a camera should be at minimum requirement. picture texting is a growing market that manufacturers need to cater for, and parents don't wish to splash out on expensive models for young children who are prone to mislaying/losing things and having accidents playing, or even having it stolen by a bullying other child. everyone is expanding there boundries as far as mobiles go, and even those who initially buy a mobile as just a point of contact always get curious and eventually desire more features. i get the feeling that the basic models need to step up to another level, had this model had a camera it would be more favoured score wise. lol, i think thats all !!!
