Alcatel intro’s the zebra-patterned V212

I’m not certain who is coming up with ideas for cell phones designs at Alcatel, but they’ve clearly been looking to animals. As you can see, the V212 takes its inspiration from one of the most graceful of animals to start with the letter Z.

Don’t expect too much out of this guy, as it cannot surf the web or other fancy bells and whistles. Who would have thought that someone would actually make a cellular phone that just takes phone calls and does text messaging?

Well, what do you expect for a phone that costs around $28? There is definitely not much there for that price, so you might want to go along with the pay-as-go plan, because that is all they offer.

I have no idea if this is the least inexpensive phone out there, but I suppose this is the sign of a new era of cheap cell phone technology. Hopefully, the word “cheap” does not mean “of low quality”.
