Alcatel OT-915 with Android and QWERTY keyboard gets leaked on its way to the UK

Alcatel is still trying. Still trying to make a name for itself in the very competitive smartphone world. Last year during MWC, it showcased the OT-990, which only got a limited release a long time after. This year, the company’s back, apparently, and will have a new phone to show us at MWC once again. This time, it’s going to be the OT-915. This has a touchscreen, like the OT-990, but it also comes with a portrait QWERTY keyboard sitting nicely right underneath that screen, BlackBerry-style.

The touchscreen will be a 2.8-inch unit, and its resolution will be 240×320, clearly establishing the OT-915′s place in the ‘affordable smartphone’ category. It will be 11.9 mm thick, and will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread – a largely unskinned install, though it is a pity that Alcatel chose to ignore the newer Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Alcatel OT-915 will have a 5 MP camera, Wi-Fi, and an FM radio too. It hasn’t got a firm price attached to it, or a release date for that matter, but ElectricPig claims it will debut in the UK sometime before the end of this year.

    I’m still waiting for my gingerbread update on my HTC Desire, and Alcatel launches an inferior phone with 2.3 onboard. What!!
