New devices from Alcatel Onetouch popping onto Straight Talk next month
6 inch 540 x 960? That's horrendous.
Anyone wanna do that math for that PPI?

R.I.P My Cyanogenmod S4 :'(
While the Pop Mega will probably have great battery life - I don't see why anyone would buy these phones over the Moto G which will get Android L. It is doubtful that these phones will even get one update.
So only the Icon will have 4.4 with the rest running Android 4.3?? Strange way to release a selection of same-wave devices....or is that a typo?

Nope, that's straight from the spec sheet. I'm confused too.
Moto g ftw

The Moto G is overrated to he honest.

It is better than all of these phones. How can a phone that gives a good experience at $200 be overrated?
The Android One phones will provide similar specs and prices with stock Android and you have Xiaomi with high end for a competitive price. The Moto G isn't as unique as it once was.

And you think this is better than the moto g?

The 6 inch version is said to come with a small Bluetooth handset that looks like a feature phone

I'd take the pop mega if and only if I wanted a great battery on a cheaper network because that thing's most likely gonna be a beast.

What network are they going to be on?

Hi everyone. I have the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Star A845L and I'm looking for a way to root it. It's a great phone for the price. The only downfall I believe it has is that it's so limited as far as customization and 'cool' apps that require super user access. Can someone please help me root it?
Tracfone version must be different as mine is only 2GB internal storage...in which case it is a complete crap phone! And thanks to kitkat I can't move apps to sd card!!! bloody hell. so yeah, I have like < 10 apps I can install. way to go guys
my A546C only has 2 G INTERNAL and won't xfer but 250 MB to my 15gig SD CARD ! WTF !
