Introducing the OT-E227: Alcatel's Feature Phone for the Masses
In 2007, technology giant Alcatel launched its newest addition to the mobile phone market – the OT-E227. This sleek feature phone boasted a simple design, compact size, and user-friendly features, making it the perfect device for day-to-day use. With a release date of February 2007, the OT-E227 quickly gained popularity among consumers, and despite its discontinuation, it is still remembered as a noteworthy device in the history of Alcatel.
The OT-E227's Specifications
This handy device may seem small, but it packs some impressive features for its time. Weighing only 70g and with a thickness of 21mm, the OT-E227 is a lightweight and compact device that can easily fit into your pocket or purse. Its operating system is a feature phone, which means it has basic functionalities like calling and texting, with no advanced smartphone features.
In terms of storage, the OT-E227 does not have a card slot for additional memory, meaning that it relies solely on its built-in storage. However, it does not fall short when it comes to connectivity. The device operates on GSM technology, with 2G bands of GSM 900/1800. Unfortunately, it does not support GPRS or EDGE, limiting its internet capabilities.
A Look at the Body and Display
The OT-E227 has a simple but elegant design, with dimensions of 87 x 45 x 21 mm and a weight of 70g. It also has a Mini-SIM slot for easy insertion and removal of SIM cards. The display is a TFT screen with 65K colors, providing decent image quality for its time. Measuring at 1.5 inches and a screen-to-body ratio of 18.5%, the display may be small, but it was enough to display images and animations.
Memory and Camera Features
As a basic feature phone, the OT-E227 does not offer much storage. It has no external card slot, but its internal memory can store up to 250 phonebook entries and records for 10 dialed, 10 received, and 10 missed calls. The device also has no camera, so users cannot capture photos or videos.
Sound and Communication Capabilities
In terms of sound, the OT-E227 does not have a loudspeaker or a 3.5mm jack. However, it does have vibration and polyphonic (16) ringtones as alert types. In terms of communication, this device does not have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or radio capabilities. It also does not support GPS or any other positioning features. The only way to connect to other devices is through its proprietary USB port.
Features and Battery Life
The OT-E227 comes with a few handy features such as SMS messaging, conference calling for up to five persons, predictive text input, calculator, and date & clock functions. This device also has two simple games pre-installed for entertainment purposes. Its battery is removable, with a lithium-ion capacity of 750 mAh. It can last up to 325 hours in standby mode and up to 10 hours of talk time.
In Conclusion
The Alcatel OT-E227 may be an old device, but it is still remembered for its simplicity, user-friendly features, and compact design. Although it may not have modern features that we are used to now, it served its purpose well during its time, making it a significant addition to Alcatel's device lineup. With its light brown color and basic functionalities, the OT-E227 was the perfect device for everyday communication needs.
