The Alcatel Fierce XL with Windows 10 Mobile won’t be a handset which sweeps the nation, rather it’ll likely only appeal to a small subset of consumers. And Alcatel is fine with that.
It’s exclusive to T-Mobile, and there are currently over one million customers on the carrier who have a Windows Phone 7 or 8 device – devices which can’t be upgraded to Microsoft’s latest software, Windows 10 Mobile.
That means there are Windows fans with handsets running old software, which is where the Fierce XL comes in.
As you may already know, Alcatel already has an Android variant of the phone under the same name out in the US – and the two handsets share a lot of the same specs, and price.
Alcatel’s first Windows 10 phone is available to Un-carrier customers with T-Mobile’s interest-free financing for $139.99, or $0 down ($5.84/23 months, $5.67 for 24th month).
For that you get a 5.5-inch HD display, 1.1GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD slot, 8MP rear camera and 2MP front facing camera. That’s not a bad line up of specs considering the price point.
