QUOTE Alcatel appears to have done a pretty good job of incorporating handwriting recognition into its firmware -- for instance, our rep drew up a complex mathematical equation (at an awkward angle, making for below-average penmanship), which the phone processed accurately within a couple seconds. As you'd expect, you'll also have the opportunity to take notes, sketches and plenty of other stylus-worthy activities QUOTE we've noticed that the company has put a much higher amount of focus on quality QUOTE If you've suddenly discovered yourself wanting this particular device, you may need to hold off for a bit. The Hero will first roll out in China and Russia next month, with further expansion to other regions taking place at a later date. An LTE model is also in the works, but it isn't going to get to any market until 2014 at the earliest. Quoted from Engadget hands on review This post has been edited by un_id: Sep 6 2013, 02:33 PM |

QUOTE There's also no indication of price, but we'd expect it to be more than reasonable if it wants any chance of competing with some of the bigger names out there. finger crossed for cheap price tags |

You mean, if this MTK proc phone is priced at RM1499, and Note 2 at RM1499, you'll choose MTK Proc phone?Probably its good idea since this is newer phone. I hope their update is good. I know that old phone will rarely get official update. Note 2 I have doubt they will update until Android 5.0. But for Alcatel, how is the update? I just scared the usability of Hero is less than Note 2. Note 2 note taking ability in its OS is awesome. |

I believe something like HandyNote will provide equivalent note taking features and is vendor independent. I also recall someone mentioned that Alcatel is a rebrand by TCL China? Rom and service support is not known at this time, although personally I feel root and a custom recovery are sufficient since we now have Xposed framework. |
