TCT adds the Alcatel OT-E220 to the ZEN collection
November 27, 2006 – Hong Kong – TCL Communications Technology Holdings (TCT) released the new Alcatel
clamshell OT-E220 mobile phone as part of the ZEN family line. TCT has created an extensive collection of
attractive mobile phones for the fashionable users who like to keep up with the newest trends. Where functionality
meets affordability, the OT-E220 with its smart light bar indicator experiments a new innovative design approach to
be the ultimate fashion accessory.
STYLISH INSIDE OUT
The light weight OT-E220 is the quintessential clamshell mobile phone, compact and with a presence of style.
Intended for users who embrace new designs, the OT-E220 encompasses the icon of a sleek mobile phone. The
smooth finish of the exterior gives the phone an exceptionally sleek touch, while the keypad in the interior has a
futuristic feel blending nicely with the light silver interior. Available in three dashing colours: Glossy White, Light
Purple and Dark Blue – they are not just any other colour, but with a unique shimmer chosen for the detail oriented
who appreciate the subtle gestures.
LINEAR DESIGN BARS
Inspired by modern design elements by mixing different textures together, featuring on the cover of the OT-E220
are three linear smart light bars that serve as indicators of the status of the phone. Never mind having to flip open
the phone to check if you have an unread text message – just watch out for the blinking light subtly embedded
under the silver bars, which is especially useful when in a dark environment.
YOUR BEST COMPANION
In the search to be up-to-date with modern design yet not be overwhelmed by the constantly changing technology,
the OT-E220 functions are simple and user-friendly with the outlook of a new age mobile phone. Without question,
the OT-E220 is the perfect companion for the trendy user.
ALL YOU NEED
The ample 29.53 x 24.47 mm screen and generous talk time of 10 hours will keep worry free about forgetting to
charge up your phone. Loaded with all the basics of a mobile phone, the OT-E220 delivers everything you need.

To Note:
JupiterResearch published the European Mobile Services Consumer Survey 2006 in May 2006 about European mobile phone
users’ behaviour regarding cell phones. Results indicate that most mobile phone users in Europe mainly use mobile phones
for voice calls and SMS. Despite growing interest in purchasing ring tones, logos, animations and games, adoption rate has
only reached 15%. The findings support one of TCT’s product strategies which is to create a selection of affordable and
functional mobile phones that well suit the needs of users making voice calls and writing SMS texts.
The Mobile Attitudes
TCT also presents under its Alcatel mobile phone brand four new Mobile Phone Attitudes that capture the dynamics of all
personalities: Zen, Black, Fashion & Urban Style.
Each attitude has three ranges: OT-E, the entry range; OT-C, the mid range and OT-S, the high range.
The creation of the four attitudes and different ranges draws on TCT’s strategy to design a colourful collection of affordable
mobile phones. They are the ultimate fashion accessories.
