Review of GSM-handset Alcatel Mandarina Duck


Mobile-review have posted their review of the Alcatel Mandarina Duck phone. Here is the final impression.

Impressions
The volume of 64-chord polyphony is rather high (above the average), the phone rings loud enough just about in any environment. The silent alert power is a bit above the moderate. The reception quality is not the thing we would complain about.

The Alcatel Mandarina Duck sells for around 150 USD, whereas its close sibling, the Alcatel C701 is priced only at 125 USD, the differences being the design and the MD’s bag clip. But do these two things justify the gap? Probably not, but on balance, the Mandarina Duck is an okay phone, although not cutting-edge functionality-wise. For its class the handset offers good looks and decent materials, plus a known brand thrown in for good measure. It will very well suit those who would like to get a clamshell for next to nothing, but would really hate to sacrifice build quality and design at that. It won’t spark a fire among consumers, but many will like it.
