Alcatel's liquid phone

Juniper Foo  |  Apr 05, 2006

From Motorola to Sony Ericsson, we're used to seeing these guys push the design envelope in mobile phones. But Alcatel? Our memories of the brand have been less than flattering, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. Particularly when we came face to face with the liquid-looking OT-C750 handset. The functions aren't anything to shout home about, but the metallic finish with its mirror effect looks almost deliciously organic. Too bad Alcatel retails its phones in only selected parts of Asia.
