It's quickly becoming an Android world, at least in the smartphone sector. So much so that the open source OS is attracting brands that have been mostly content to stay away from the hardware side of things. Enter Alcatel, who appears to have stolen a page from the Palm Pre with its new OT-980 slider phone, but unlike the Pre, this one's all Android.
Alcatel will try its hardest to undercut the competition, and specifically to come in lower than HTC's low-cost Tattoo. That means there's no chance of a 1GHz Snapdragon processor breathing fire into the 980, but it will come with a 600MHz chip and 192MB of RAM. The 980 will also boast a resistive QVGA touchscreen display, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, an accelerometer, 3.5mm headset jack, 2MP camera, MicroSD card, and Android 1.6 (Donut).
Intrigued? If so, be ready to sit back and wait a spell. This one's not expected to ship until the middle of the year, by which time the look (and specs) might have changed.
