Alcatel One Touch To Launch Sans Hardware Camera Button

The Alcatel One Touch is well on its way to be released, where initial impressions point towards it being the most affordable Windows Phone-powered device to date. The thing is, assuming that is true, the Alcatel One Touch will also pick up one another accolade for itself – that is, being the first Windows Phone powered hardware that will not come with its iconic hardware camera button.

The Alcatel One Touch will feature a 4” WVGA display, running on a 1GHz processor, sport a 5-megapixel camera, 512MB RAM, and will more or less cost 6,990 rubles ($226 thereabouts). You might not be too happy with the performance if you are looking for a high end device, since this comes with just 4GB of internal memory, without any possibility of expanding that via a memory card slot. What do you think of such a device hitting the stands? Will it be able to be a hit, or will it be overlooked by the masses? Let us know in the comments below.
