[maxpain0019]

please please please tell me where i can find this red case for this phone (black will be good too) :)

[theTechnoclast]

@maxpain0019 The phone is being sold in various colors including this one. There is no added red case in this one. Hope that helps!

[maxpain0019]

@theTechnoclast i'm from serbia and i bought this phone with operator logo on it, because i couldn't find original alcatel, only branded. and my case is ugly as hell and i want to change it. i can't find any case on e-bay.

[theTechnoclast]

@maxpain0019 Its probably locked by your operator there in Serbia. Not sure if they changed the design there, but hopefully you can find something like a Capdase case there for your phone.

[gparaskevis]

this phone support 3g videocall? no google talk or skype with provider services

[theTechnoclast]

@gparaskevis You should be able to use video calling apps like Skype, but we're not sure if the front facing camera is supported now. Skype recently got updated to allow for more phones to use their front cameras but since we're not able to test it on the phone anymore we can't confirm. It's very likely that you can use it though.

[arroyo3rd]

can it do skype?

[theTechnoclast]

@arroyo3rd It has a front facing camera but at the time of our review Skype did not support it. Today, Skype Video now has an experimental feature to support unofficial phones so the Alcatel 990 might be included. I'd say there's a pretty good chance the experimental Skype Video works on Alcatel now. Will need to confirm though.

Hope that helps!

[blaky1998]

so.. you are a lady becouse red is for ladys ! :p

[idolista1]

@blaky1998 red is not for ladies.

[2555krist]

привет, спасибо что ответило,,,, вот я  зашла как вы сказали, но не активен ,там написон ВСТАВЬТЕ SD-КАРТУ ДЛЯ ЕЕ УСТАНОВКИ,

[theTechnoclast]

@2555krist Вы пробовали различные карты памяти SD или, может быть, если отформатировать карту SD раз он будет работать. Надежда, что помогает!

[2555krist]

У меня такой же телефон, Подскажите пожалуйста,,, когда включу музыку или видео на экране появляется такое SD -КАРТА НЕ УСТАНОВЛЕНА но раншеь такое не било ,нормально работало. Подскажите пожалуйста, как установит флеш карта?????????

[theTechnoclast]

@2555krist Привет, я только переводил свой​комментарий на английский, поэтому я прошу прощения, если мой русский ужасно. Вы пытались использовать карту SD с кард-ридер? Или включить телефон или выключить? Кроме того, выберите Настройки памяти> SD и посмотреть, если карта установлена​в телефоне. Надежда, что помогает!

[2pabloify]

Does is multitactil the screen??

[theTechnoclast]

@2pabloify Do you mean to ask if the screen is multitouch? Then, the answer is yes. You can use two fingers to zoom. Hope that helps!

[mrdza96]

Hi! I'm from Serbia(Europe). And in my country there is a mobile company "Telenor Serbia"(The part of the original "Telenor" company). And there is a phone called TELENOR ONE TOUCH which looks the same like this one. I wanna know is it the same phone like this one? And 2 more questions. How much RAM memory does it have and how long is the battery's life?

[mrdza96]

@mrdza96 Sorry, don't need to tell me the last 2 questions. :) But there are another 2 questions. I just saw that you sad that the battery's life is 14 hours, and on your site it says that it's 550 hours. That's a BIG difference. And one question is, a saw on your site that the internal memory is 200 MB, is that RAM memory or standard phone memory?? Tnx ahead :)

[theTechnoclast]

@mrdza96 Hi! We're not sure if the Telenor brand is the same as Alcatel but maybe its just under a different name with the same phone. =)

Not sure where you got the 550 hours number from. Our review doesn't mention a number with 550 so it might be a misunderstanding. The battery life is definitely about 14 hours in regular use.

The memory for apps is 200MB, and the memory for temporary system space and for making the phone run smooth is about 400MB.

Hope that helps!

[mrdza96]

@theTechnoclast Someone said that it's an only a different name but I wanter for sure to know is it true. I'm not much in phone so I don't understand this "battery's life is 550 h long in STAND BY" what does it mean?

[theTechnoclast]

@mrdza96 First off, you mentioned that you read about our site saying the standby is 550 hours. We haven't posted that information so it must be from a different website.

Anyway, the standby time only means how long the phone lasts when it is turned on but you don't use it. If you don't touch the phone ever, with all wifi, bluetooth, screen off and no calls, messages, etc, com in, you can get 550 hours reportedly. This is just a useless number so ignore it.

Hope that helps!

[mrdza96]

@theTechnoclast I want to know. Is it possible to buy a battery 900 mAh for this phone?

[theTechnoclast]

@mrdza96 If your local seller has spare batteries for it then you should be able to buy them. It would depend on your country and the sellers.

[mrdza96]

@theTechnoclast Sorry, I didn't ask you in the right way. I wanted to ask if the phone can support this battery? :)

[theTechnoclast]

@mrdza96 If its not the official phone battery, then don't use it. It can cause damage to your phone.

[VC2THEMAX]

Can't wait to get this phone for Christmas <3

[theTechnoclast]

@VC2THEMAX Cool! Enjoy your new phone!

[petekmiha1]

@VC2THEMAX me tooo

[9matija]

@VC2THEMAX so how it is a phone?

[sisac]

how can activate the frontal camera with this phone??

[theTechnoclast]

@sisac You can go to the camera app, then hit menu, then press switch to front camera if I remember correctly. Hope that helps!

[theTechnoclast]

@somorgojo 128MB is too small for an android phone. Most budget phones have about 300+MB of RAM and 170MB of app storage. We already returned the unit to Alcatel so we can't do any more videos. If you need more information about this phone you can check out our review at our website: TheTechnoclastDotCom.

[theTechnoclast]

@somorgojo It has about 200MB user available memory for apps, and about 400MB RAM for smooth operations.

[mateosmokovic123]

does this phone support games and apps from app market??PLEASE TELL ME

[theTechnoclast]

@mateosmokovic123 Yes of course. If you need more information you can check out our full review at our website! TheTechnoclastDotCom.

[2446madog]

how do you transfer files to micro sd card?can ya help?

[theTechnoclast]

@2446madog You can plug the micro SD card onto a card reader or you can switch the phone to USB data mode to mount your SD card through USB. Hope that helps!

[2446madog]

@theTechnoclast ok,and do you know how to mount SD card through USB?sorry i ask to much,im new to this phone,i want to have some games on SD card,can i do that?

[theTechnoclast]

@2446madog You can install games easily just by going to the Android Market. No need to copy files onto your SD card.

[2446madog]

@theTechnoclast yeah,but i dont have more space,thats why,do you have a video on mounting sd card,and can i send aps to sd card?

[theTechnoclast]

@2446madog Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, then click on all your apps one at a time. If there is a button that says Move To SD Card, then do that. It will move parts of the app to your SD card. Do this with most of your apps to save space. Hope that helps!

[2446madog]

@theTechnoclast yeah it does,thx

[pUrImErCs]

hello... i have an alcatel 990 and the i cant make a video call using skype. the front camera is only for 3g video calls ?

[theTechnoclast]

@pUrImErCs Hi, Skype video only works on very few phones right now and the Alcatel is not one of them. Hopefully they'll add more phones soon, but right now you can't video call from Skype using the OT-990. Hope that helps!

[MrGotyah22]

what country are you in? 10,000 dollars for a phone

[theTechnoclast]

@MrGotyah22 We are based in the Philippines. Come visit our nice beaches. Haha =)

[xXMizzUu]

in Uk it costs a 100.

It has 600 MB RAM

and it's a nice phone.

[GoxyPBS]

Hahaha, he said that it costs 9.999, witch is 10k bucks hahahahahah :)

[theTechnoclast]

@GoxyPBS Isn't 9,999 just one short of 10,000?

[GoxyPBS]

@theTechnoclast I know, but that's 10k. What can you buy for one buck? Really :). Don't be so literal :)

[GoxyPBS]

@theTechnoclast And also, the phone is not a car, it doesn't cost that much. It costs a lot less :). But otherwise, the tour is really great :).

[theTechnoclast]

@GoxyPBS Oh but our website is based in the Philippines so when we say bucks it means in Philippine Pesos. It's about US$230 if converted though.

Glad you liked the video! =)

[GoxyPBS]

@theTechnoclast Hahaha, so i misunderstood :). Sorry :). In my country it's 15.000 dinars (or 150 euros). Pretty cheep for this phone :). It's really good, and when i have the money, i'm gonna buy this phone at once :).

[theTechnoclast]

@GoxyPBS Cool! It's a good phone. We also have a full review of the phone at our website TheTechnoclastDotCom if you want to learn more about it. =)

[green7822]

how much does this phone cost???

[theTechnoclast]

@green7822 About 230 USD.

[thedutch1999]

how long is the battery life?

[theTechnoclast]

@thedutch1999 We got about 14 hours or somewhere there on average use. For our full review you can always check our website TheTechnoclastDotCom. Hope that helps!

[flyboy2000008]

@thedutch1999 This phone. but if you go for the looks then ZTE. But if you go for the camera then this one. you decide! ;)

[thedutch1999]

Zte blade better or this phone?

[theTechnoclast]

@thedutch1999 As we haven't been able to try out the ZTE Blade ourselves we wouldn't be able to tell you, but you can check out our full review of this phone at our website. (TheTechnoclastDotCom)

Locally, there's a version of the ZTE Blade here in the Philippines called the Smart Netphone 701. We tried one shortly and we got these numbers: Quadrant - 408, App memory - 163MB, System memory - 420MB. For the Alcatel its on our review. Hope that helps!

[ST3V3NDAONE]

@thedutch1999 This phone is better because the screen on a zte blade shatters easily.

[xXE4GLEyEXx]

does this has autofocus for camera? and what android software is it using?

last question: should i get this or Xperia X10 mini pro?

[theTechnoclast]

@xXE4GLEyEXx Hi, yes it has an autofocus camera. It uses Android 2.2. And NEVER EVER buy an Xperia X10. The X10 series is terrible. The new Xperia Mini and Pro are much better. Stay away from the X10 versions.

Finally, if you have any more questions, you can check our full review at TheTechnoclastDotCom. Thanks!

[iria661]

@xXE4GLEyEXx xperia 

[meri5775]

[theTechnoclast]

@Vahayr What we remember is that the accessible RAM system memory is about 400MB and the app memory is 200MB. Hope that helps!

[dakki12345]

does video calling work via VOip??? fring ??? skype???

[theTechnoclast]

@dakki12345 Hi, we were not able to test it on Fring, but we're pretty sure Skype doesn't support it yet since there's only very few handsets that it supports.

Hope that helps!

[cangansamon]

Hey, if I answer I subscribe to your channel!

How sensitive is the display of the Alcatel 990, is like the Nokia N8?

thanks

[theTechnoclast]

@cangansamon Yup it is as sensitive as the Nokia N8. You can also read our full review in our website: TheTechnoclastDotCom.

Thanks!

[cangansamon]

@theTechnoclast I have only one more question, what is its price in dollars?

[theTechnoclast]

@cangansamon Its about US$240 during the sale price. After the sale price its about US$360.

Hope that helps!

[cangansamon]

@theTechnoclast Ok, espero que cuando llegue a México cueste un poco menos

Gracias!

[Vahayr]

@theTechnoclast

PLEAS can u tell me how is the battery life and can u download apps from the market to the micro sd??

thanks

[theTechnoclast]

@Vahayr Yes you can move apps to the Micro SD card as with most Froyo devices. The battery life is mostly the same as other Android handsets. Our full review is in our website so please check it out at TheTechnoclastDotCom

[policarpo3082]

[theTechnoclast]

@supersmg1 Hi, if you're in the Philippines, I'm told that the phone is available now and you can check Alcatel.PH's facebook page for a list of retailers. The link to their Facebook page should look like this:
