Alcatel Onetouch Scribe HD
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I have owned my Alcatel Onetouch Scribe HD for a month or so, and I am quite impressed with such a phone at a really affordable price. The display is crisp and bright. I very much like the UI speed and interface. If you are looking for a phone for gaming, watching videos and entertainment on the whole, I would highly recommend this phone.
