This basic-looking texting phone surprisingly includes some Internet features, namely social networking applications and email. Aside from its full keyboard, it also offers simple tools, such as an FM radio with RDS and a basic 2-megapixel camera. That said, we can think of a few additions that could have greatly improved this phone, such as a touchscreen and Wi-Fi.
We are not very impressed by the size of the included storage memory Alcatel put in the 871A. On a phone like this, we would expect more space to store images, videos and more.
