A small device like this might neatly fit in my pockets, but that's all it can and nothing much with the cramped screen size of 1.8 inches. With my kinda usage and lifestyle neither the battery will last me decent hours, nor can I provide it with charging as and when needed. Not an hour goes by without my phone ringing, that's why I always go for something like the Alcatel OT 517 D that has all the advanced is credited with to ease the communication. Although I am not so much into file sharing via Bluetooth as I am more of an email guy, but it is quite essential for hands-free calling.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Alcatel OT 517 D makes it extremely portable, but with its tiny and cramped keypad it's really not of much stick with to me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Alcatel OT 517 D, however good the other possesses might be. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the Alcatel OT 517 D with extendable memory against any other smartphones that are overpriced and overloaded with confusing is credited with.Ishan's Review (A geek)
Although the display looks great, the tiny screen size is too awkward to please the gamer or the ardent bookworm in me. Even if your smartphone offers good amount of internal storage, extendable memory never hurt and is good to know that there's room left if you occasion. I don't want my smartphone to opt on for days without charging, but neither do I want a “low battery” warning within an hour into a game; that's what this smartphone with 720 mAh battery will do.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The 1.8 inches display of the Alcatel OT 517 D was the first thing that grabbed my attention. I desire texting over talking but this screen size is way too cramped to do that easily. Yes MP is not that great camera resolution. You are able to easily opt for any other smartphone with a better camera, it might even be cheaper. I don't this smartphone are able to click awesome pictures, which by the way is my favourite hobby. I don't worry charging when I have the flexibility to charge my phone with the laptop; I have the flexibility to even transfer files with this.
