Alcatel's OT-635a "she" phone earns FCC approval

by Chris Ziegler posted Jul 28th 2006 at 12:44PM

Apparently looking to reach nooks and crannies of the market that haven't yet been fully saturated, a handful of recent handsets seem to be developing genders; Alcatel's the latest manufacturer to join the party with their "she mobile by Alcatel" OT-635a clamshell. We're not sure whether "she mobile" is a single model or a new series of phones, but for the sake of tech-savvy women everywhere, we're hoping it's a series -- the glossy white 635a is a bit thin in the specs, featuring GSM 850 / 1900, a VGA cam, no external display, and seemingly no Bluetooth. Personally we'll pass, but then again, that's exactly what Alcatel wants the men of Engadget to do.

Eww, no. This phone looks like a prepaid bargain-bag variety. Why do these manufacturers still come out with clams w/o the external display? IIs it me, or do most people prefer external displays?

This phone seems to offer nothing new and nothing female orientated; why bother Alcatel?

Unless the prices is give away, then there are probably far better, cheaper mobiles out there.
