    1. The OT Idol Ultra is the slimmest. Aside from that, it has 16GB ROM compared to this. Ang screen display na man ng Ultra AMOLED, dito sa Scribe HD ay IPS. I think AMOLED is better than IPS. :)

      Delete
    2. Heto po comparison ko:

      DISPLAY
      SCRIBE HD: IPS
      IDOL ULTRA: AMOLED (mas better)

      ROM
      SCRIBE HD: 4GB
      IDOL ULTRA: 16GB

      Ito lang po siguro mas nakamahal sa OT Idol Ultra. :)

      Delete
    3. may LTE ba yung IDOL ULTRA or yung SCRIBE HD?

      Delete
    4. At this time, i have no idea if idol ultra or the scribe is capable of lte. I will get back to you on this. :)

      Delete
    5. salamat sir.., antayin ko update mo ah :)

      Delete
    6. Heto na po ang update! hehe One Touch Idol Ultra is not capable of 4G LTE. For the One Touch Scribe HD, there are 2 variants: one is not capable of LTE and the other is LTE-capable. :)

      Delete
    7. nsa magkano ang price range nung OT SCRIBE HD na 4G LTE enable??,

      Delete
    8. I do not know if they will release it in the Philippines. :(
      Sa day of release ng Alcatel, hindi kasi nila ni-release ito. So I am doubtful if the Philippines will have he Scribe HD with LTE. :(

      Delete
    9. nakakalungkot naman kung hindi nila ilalabas ito sa phil market., oh well malamang abang abang na lang muna ako.., madaming mga phones ang dadating sa market this year.., :)

      Delete
    10. That is sure po na maraming dadating na phones this year. Nasa second quarter pa lang tayo. Save nyo na lang po pera para kung lumabas na ang 4G capable phones sure mabibili mo na. :) Ayaw nyo po yung iPhone na capable sa LTE? :)

      Delete
    11. pra sa akin kasi parang OVERRATED na ang IPHONE e

      Delete
    12. haha baka may magalit na iPhone user na naman.hehe smooth po tlga iPhone. para sa akin, best OS for tabs&mobile ang iOS kaso mahal. hindi ma.afford. :)

      Delete
    13. for me the best ang iOS sa mobile/tabs but ang mahal nya at konti lang nagagawa ng iOS kesa sa android.

      Delete
    14. secure rin po ang iOS..pero in terms of customizing mas ok ang android. :)

    2. Anong mas better? Scribe hd or idol ultra?

      Delete
    3. Para sa akin (based on Specs alone) better ang idol ultra. However, there are news that the Scribe HD has another variant with 4G LTE capabilities. If that is true, then the Scribe HD is better. :)

      Dual sim po ang Scribe HD. While the Ultra has 1 micro sim. :)

      Delete
    4. Ano po bang nagagawa pag LTE?

      Delete
    5. LTE will make internet browsing and downloading really fast. Hindi ko alam ilang Mbps pero they say it is really fast. :)

    6. May nabasa ako from yugatech ata. May prepaid lte sim daw ang smart? Katulad ba yun ng lte ng globe?

    7. I would assume that it will be the same. Yes it is true that Smart is offering prepaid LTE. I am guessing soon that Globe will be offering it also. :)

  18. The sun plan 600 is for OT scribe HD or just plain scribe? im a bit confused im on their plan 350 now i got the alcatel OT glory, i am very satisfied with the way it works, its fast and all..mao murag interesado ko sa Scribe HD for me its like the cheaper version of the Galaxy note 2, isnt it?

    Replies
    1. the plan 600 from sun network is for the ot scribe easy..but you can also subscribre to the ot idol ultra with plan 600..you are right that the ot scribe is comparable to the note 2 but i think mas advance ang note2 in terms of specs.. :)

    2. For John. Try mo search Alcatel Sapphire 2 specs (P6,990.00). I have been using it for a week now and its really good so far. The price is very affordable & its owned by a France company. The Alcatel Scribe Easy is also very good if you're into phablet, SRP is just P8,990.00 very reasonable price with superb battery life 2,500mAH. With due respect sa mga MyPhone's & Cherry Mobile's pawnshop wise, di raw tinatanggap. I don't know how true is this. Anyway we're not after for pawning it, right? Haha.

    3. thanks dito white knight. tama ka hindi tinatanggap ang mp or cm sa pawnshop.hehe :D

  47. Hello po.. Comment lng po ako as a user of scribe hd.. Maganda xa.. Hindi madaling malowbat due to its battery na 2500mAh.. It may not be the best phone but for its price and specs, d ka magkakamali.. Ung pen nya is not that capacitive pero doesnt matter since I don't use it. For gamers, I tested it out with dungeon hunter 4. And it runs fine with a few lags sa game at medium setting. I have yet to try other games. Internet speed, well I'm running 3-5mbps dito.. Other areas 1-2mbps.. Well, internet speed is still dependent sa area and ISP. May isang beses na ng hang xa totally and you can do a hard reboot by pressing power+up button. Camera is fine, I don't really need it since I have my own cam.. Video playback is very smooth on 1080p vids. Overall, it is a very nice phone and I'm happily enjoying it.

  50. WAaahh... nakakalito! I've been to sun Shop CDO Ayala Centrio and inquired about their plan 600. They can not tell me straight if it's scribe easy or HD. But the poster said it's dual sim, so I told them it might be scribe HD. I was was there to get a plan 450 but plan to get the plan 600 for the scribe. I just wondered why the in-charge discouraged me to get the scribe.. He said sapphire 2 offered through plan 450 is better than the scribe. Is it because they are confused too what is the spec of the plan 600 ? Was the poster indicating it's dual sim is a mistake ? Or is it really HD ? Can anyone out there knows the answer please ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. From what I recalled the plan 600 has the scribe easy and not HD. But it the main difference between the two is that the HD has more RAM than the easy. :) dual sim po tlga ito. :) baka out of stock po. :)

  53. BEWARE CONSUMERS! READ THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE THE PURCHASE!!!

    There is a known incompatibility of Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy with Car Chargers.

    It would have been nearly perfect. I made some research before I purchased this unit and it can be considered to have the best bang for the buck until I found this issue. Since it was just recently released, none much information can be found about the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy. Even the Alcatel website doesn’t say anything about car charging for this unit.

    I have two different but standard Chargers in my Car: Elevo USB - Dual Ports and Pioneer Car Stereo USB Port. More than a dozen of other brands of PDAs and/or Cellphones have been charged and worked without issues (Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG, Sony-Ericsson, Apple, MyPhone, Cherry Mobile, etc.).

    I purchased the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy last May 25, 2013 from MemoExpress SM MegaMall. All else is working excellently except that it won’t charge while in the Car. It charges using the Wall Charger or when just connected to a Computer. In the Car, when connected using the specific USB cable (we have tried several similar USB cables including two provided by Alcatel), the said unit shows the USB icon which indicates that it is connected but the lightning icon which indicates charging is missing (or would just show for few seconds then disappear). The Battery information via Settings also indicates that it’s not charging (it says “Not charging”). This issue has been going on since the unit has been purchased. Due to time constraints because of my busy schedule and the excellent Battery life of this PDA (the Battery lasts for 3days or more without charging), I wasn't able to immediately check further and report the issue. It was only when I got stuck in the traffic jam during one rainy day and was in need of charging the PDA that I was able to fully check and determine that there is really a compatibility issue.

    I have my friends and family members who travel with me once in a while. We have used and tried many different PDAs and Cellphones in my Car, using either the Elevo
    Charger or Pioneer Car Stereo. All of those worked flawlessly and charged without issues. This includes units from Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG, Sony-Ericsson, Apple, MyPhone, Cherry Mobile, etc. This only verifies and confirms that my Car Chargers are working without issues. THUS, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT MY CHARGERS ARE DEFECTIVE.

    I was only able to bring the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy to where I bought it - MemoExpress Megamall Branch, two weeks after I bought it. Rodel/George of MemoExpress assisted me and helped verify/confirm the issue. Below are the things done at MemoExpress to isolate the issue:

    - Tested the unit using the Wall Charger - It's charging without issues
    - Tested the unit using another Car Charger with wires connected to a Power Adaptor - IT'S NOT CHARGING
    - Brought and connected several Alcatel units (different models) to my Car's USB Chargers for further testing:

    - Alcatel One touch Sapphire 2 - It's charging without issues
    - Alcatel One touch Glory 2 - It's charging without issues
    - Alcatel One touch Scribe Easy (Brand new - this is not the one I bought) - IT'S NOT CHARGING

    * These things concretely verified and confirmed the incompatibility of the Alcatel One touch Scribe Easy with Car Chargers.

    I was later on referred to Cherry and was instructed to bring the unit to their Technical Team in Robinsons Pioneer.

    I brought the unit to their Technical Team in Robinsons Pioneer last Saturday, June 15, 2013; below are the things they've done:

    - Brought and connected the disputed Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy to my Car's USB Chargers for testing: Confirmed and verified that IT'S NOT CHARGING
    - Opened the unit to verify if tampered - they confirmed that it hasn't been tampered in any way

    2. Dude, ikaw ang may mali eh, you should've confirmed it first, not just ask the sales personnel. Anyways, it's not much of a problem (dude, first world problems lang ang peg mo?). You can still charge your phone in your house or in your workplace. It's not as if you're living your entire life inside your awesome car. Chill. Though it's a good thing you shared this issue.

  54. * They haven't got any other means to test further. They don’t have a good service unit for me to use (they have a non-PDA which has no use for me; I have a spare Cellphone and I require a PDA).

    They said they will send the unit to Alcatel for further evaluation. Yesterday, Thursday, June 20, 2013, I was told that the unit charges using another charger. What the!?!? They just disregarded the facts we have previously established,
    verified and confirmed? THE ALCATEL ONE TOUCH SCRIBE EASY IS NOT DEFECTIVE, MY CAR CHARGERS ARE NOT DEFECTIVE – IT’S AN INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE OF THE PDA WITH CERTAIN CAR CHARGERS! I WASN’T TOLD THAT THIS PDA IS SO SPECIAL THAT I SHOULD GET AN ALCATEL CAR CHARGER TO MAKE IT CHARGE IN THE CAR! I ASKED FOR IT BEFORE I MADE THE PURCHASE UNTIL THE FIRST TIME I COMPLAINED BUT NOBODY KNEW AND THEY HAVEN’T GOT ANY ALCATEL ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE!

    FACTS:
    - More than a dozen of other brands of PDAs and/or Cellphones are charging fine using my Car Chargers
    - Other models of Alcatel One Touch PDAs are charging fine using my Car Chargers
    - Two different units of the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy are both NOT charging using my Car Chargers
    - All other features/functions of the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy are working fine
    - Mobile Devices should charge while in the Car using standard USB Chargers – IF NOT, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD BEFORE I MADE THE PURCHASE! IT CAN’T EVEN BE FOUND IN THE USER’S MANUAL!
    - Alcatel Car Charger is not readily available Metro Manila Malls or the cost would defeat the purpose of buying the inexpensive Alcatel One touch Scribe Easy

    Why didn’t anybody knew that the Alcatel One Touch Scribe Easy is very special and will need a special Car Charger? What made it worse? There’s no Alcatel Car Charger available!

    It’s already the end of the business day today, Friday, June 21, 2013…

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I WAS MADE TO WAIT, MY EXPLANATIONS WERE IGNORED, NO RESOLUTION WAS GIVEN, NO GOOD/VALID EXPLANATIONS WERE SAID, THEIR FIX - I WAS PUSHED TO GET A MORE EXPENSIVE UNIT (NO OPTIONS WHATSOEVER WERE GIVEN). SO MUCH MORE THAN TIME HAD BEEN WASTED AND IN THE END? WE HAD TO AGREE TO JUST CANCEL THE PURCHASE AFTER ALL THE INCONVENIENCES AND WASTE OF RESOURCES. IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO?!? AGAIN, THE UNIT IS NOT DEFECTIVE.

    WHAT A REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

    1. I'm assuming that you talked to different staffs when you tried to get back to their service centers? Well, they are trained to ease out the tension of customers but that does not necessarily mean that they have exactly the same approach in dealing with you. Charger lang naman problema, at car charger pa. Bakit? Sa sasakyan ka ba nakatira? Hindi naman di ba? Why make a fckin fuss about it?

      Why not make a compromise by changing to other Alcatel One Touch models? I hope they'd consider that. Para sa'kin lang, ang babaw naman kasi ng problema mo. 'Yung ibang tao nga walang cellphone, walang load, makakain lang ayos naman. Just learn to appreciate what you have right now. Isip isip din kasi muna bago gumawa ng decision 'tsong. Di naman mawawala kaagad agad iyan eh.

  61. It's better to wait for the release of Alcatel OT Scribe X. It's much much better compared to Scribe HD and most esp. to Idol Ultra (which for me really sucks (no SD and jack, grrrr)). It will take some time but it will all be worth it. "Patience is virtue." The fast-paced technology makes gadgets become obsolete at a very much inconceivable rate. 'Wag padalos dalos. Tiis tiis muna ako sa Nokia ko. LOL. (me just saying my thoughts, no hard feelings bros)

  62. Hello! Sure bang dadating yung Alcatel One Touch Idol X dito sa Philippines? If ever ano kaya price range niya? Thank you!

  65. To anyone interested in getting Scribe HD. MemoXpress at Festival Mall is offering it at P14,xxx 12mos 0% interest. You might also want to avail of their extended warranty with an additional P7xx. This will add an additional year to the Alcatel warranty making it 2 years. The clincher is it includes replacing cracked screen due to accidental dropping of the unit. It does not cover damage due to water immersion though. Just want to share the news. I am not in any way connected to Alcatel nor MemoXpress.
