Where is the promised SUPERPHONE from Alcatel? We are betrayed again.

[DT_17]

Well so are again betrayed. Last time while announce the OneTouch XL affordable w10m they promised a they'll release a Superphone. Some of us thinking that would be the Idol 4. But where? Their event has passed. Everything passed quit well as expected. But where the promised Superphone? They forgot that? We again betrayed.

If you're referring to this article (Alcatel OneTouch's Windows 10 Mobile 'superphone' reportedly called the Idol Pro 4 | Windows Central) which cited this article (Alcatel's Idol Pro 4 may be the promised "superphone" - MSPoweruser), then we weren't promised anything. But since it's mentioned as "planned" - not all plans come to realization. It might, but it also might not.

We really can't hold onto rumors. By now we should have learned from McClaren. In addition, the said reference has been known to rather hastily make conclusions as mentioned in a previous squabble between them and certain editors.

Especially if you are dealing with anything related to Windows Mobile, you need patience by the bucket load

Jeez, if you already feel betrayed by a rumor of a phone then I would recommend you to never go and vote during an election.

I hope they do release a windows version as a lower cost option to the Lumia 950 / 950 XL.

Stop being so dramatic.

It's coming to t-mobile this summer.

 

[jasqid]

Well... Its mid summer and the only news I can find on this device is the initial stuff from last Feb/march.

Anyone know anything about it that is recent? Me thinks its been cancelled.

Well, it made it through WiFi certification in June and is set to be sold through T-Mobile. If It Doesn't get outed in September, I'll get a Lumia 950 XL. I can only hope Alcatel didnt get cold feet and ditch the phone. Anyone hear any new news? Daniel?

Nothing at all. I'm just here to say that I appreciate your avatar immensely.

I'm on record to say the the Amazing World of Gumball is THE best cartoon out right know. The episode where he gets his picture taken like this is epically funny even better is when Richard teaches them to steal candy and Nicole goes crazy in the grocery store.

I would love to know this as well. An alcatel idol 4s would be a great windows phone

It would change the Windows phone for the foreseeable future, if the specs are correct it will change the landscape and put Alcatel in the hearts of all Windows phone fans for a long time.

Except it may be exclusive to T-MoUS only. Doesn't really help everyone...

 

[viper1970]

It can be purchased, unlocked, and used on another carrier no? Hopefully its a timed exclusivity period, and if the thing gets released anyway....this waiting is killing me!

It's supposed to be available unlocked anyway

That would be very cool... But all I've ever seen says T-Mo. Do you have a link?

To the best if my knowledge, the Alcatel Fierce XL never showed up anywhere other than T-Mo...

These device releases for Windows take eons for some reason.
In the past whenever I thought an idea may have been decommissioned it pops up.

It's very tough to get excited about rumored Microsoft enabled mobile devices these days looking back at the tortuous wait times.
I'll e-mail the Alcatel One touch support people and see if they actually reply.
