Alcatel's Miss Sixty flip is so wrong, yet so right

Actually, on second thought, there might not be anything right about Alcatel's unusual entry to the FCC, a phone that's apparently supposed to match up with the fashion collection of the same name. That's all well and good, but we're struggling to associate the word "fashion" with a red plastic flip trimmed with faux antique brass highlights -- especially when said phone is nothing more than a rebadge of the mega low-end OT-660a. If GPRS and weird, out-of-place gold trim is your cup of tea... well, your phone has arrived, but otherwise, we plan on steering well clear of whatever retailer plans on offering this little gem.

And in my opinion, the original was more fashionable than this piece of work.

Lose the "Miss Sixty" logo, and it could be re-branded at an Iron Man movie tie-in phone.

*facepalm* I can't believe I didn't see that. It's so obvious now! Fanboys will be flocking to Alcatel...put "Limited Edition" next to it and they're golden!
