FCC Reveals Alcatel Flip Phone for T-Mobile

MetroPCS is forcing all subscribers to trade in their CDMA phones for GSM phones.

Their only GSM flip-phone is the Alcatel 768.

(1) Does MetroPCS support all Alcatel 768 features? Including the various email and browser options? Does MetroPCS support the same Alcatel 768 features that T-Mobile does?

(2) How reliable is this phone? Is the menu system intuitive and convenient? Does it have predictive text mode (T9word)?

(3) Subjectively, how sensitive is the transmitter and receiver? How is its clarity?

My mother uses this phone. Overall it has good mobile connectivity. However, I'm trying to help her update the address book by importing a .vcf file. The .vcf file was exported from Gmail, however the phone only reads .vcf 2.1 and not 3.0. How do I remedy this issue? Is it possible to reverse a .vcf 3.0 version to a .vcf 2.1?

While this phone has a built-in GPS capability, there is no way to make use of it - at least I can't find any way to do this. Your feedback on this is much appreciated.

Hi, I only need basic 3g. Phone I have now is an old Nokia-6263 2g.

Anyone have an opinion on this Alcatel 768

Carrier is T-mobile

Thanks....
