AT&T recently started selling the Alcatel 871a – a basic phone with a QWERTY keyboard – through indirect channels such as Best Buy for $40. The phone sports a 2-megapixel camera, memory card slot, music player, Bluetooth, and 3G data. PCD is managing the phone’s U.S. distribution for Alcatel.
The phone is part of AT&T’s GoPhone prepaid lineup, although it is not yet for sale through AT&T directly.
