Alcatel's new cell phone

JAKARTA (JP): French telecommunications company Alcatel
launched yesterday a new pocket size cellular phone, the Alcatel
One Touch Com, for business people.

"Aside from giving a cellular phone service, Alcatel One Touch
Com can also function as personal organizer and provider access
to e-mails on the Internet," Alcatel country sales manager for
professional consumer division, Ursulien Manoi, said yesterday.

The high-end phone can also function as a calendar, notepad,
address book, calculator and world clock.

It is designed for on-the-go executives who always need
lightweight business tools in pocket for their daily activities,
Manoi added.

It has a large display (80 mm x 40 mm) on which users can
comfortably write notes using a stylus pen attached on the phone.

The phone, priced at US$650, measures 151 mm x 62 mm x 24 mm,
a weight of 230 grams, a talk time of two hours and a standby
time of 45 hours.

Alcatel successfully launched its low-end phone, Alcatel One
Touch Easy, for young customers late last year. The phone sold
10,000 units in two months. (jsk)
