The design team at Alcatel should be horse whipped and then sacked.

The day they come up with a nice looking phone I'll go out and buy a hat, then eat it.

Who the hell buys these things?

If you have kids who have a tendency to loose phones from time to time, a cheap, crappy phone like this is perfect-as long as they ring in under $30 or so, they're ideal. Couple months with basic texting, no MP3 music, no camera and they'll take AMAZING care of the next one, I promise.

Good for kids, good for music festivals, gigs, camping, abroad. Also good for people on a limited budget (so long as they are cheap).

So, radian, it's nice that you have so much money that you can piss it away on over-priced penis extensions like the Jesus phone, well done, ten points, but not everyone in the world is so fortunate. Why should the less well off not benefit from modern technology?
