2019 - Don't get swindled into buying this phone. The specs are outstanding as far as a computer or phone goes, but the OS is not fully supported. If you apply any updates to this old phone, some functionality goes away( a.k.a. no more phone.) Microsoft has abandoned this O.S. Also, the "selling point" of using your Microsoft Office apps are a lie. You get next to no functionality off the bat and are supposed to pay for the "full" versions. What a rip off. They want you to be able to pair with your desktop via the dock but you have to buy the same software twice? Acer & Microsoft are good brands; but, the combination in this apllication (mobile phone) is an overall fail.
MSD, 26 Feb 2018the camera is extraordinary!No it isn't. I've seen a lot better.
the camera is extraordinary!
Not a good choice. I've bought it when it became cheaper (about half of initial price cca 550eur) but it isn't worth it... It uses the first build of WM10 with no more updates. Very bad camera. And the final drop - it's not working in LTE (european model in europe). So I've returned it to seller and bought L950...
Luke, 05 Aug 2017Your can install Anniversary Update via Windows InsiderAlthough Acer is not passing on updates, you can install Anniversary Update 14393 series manually using microsoft's iutool.exe : google "windowscentral iutool offline" - a bit fiddly and requires a PC... in fact Windows updates are non-hardware specific,like on PCs so better long term than relying on slow phone makers or 'dangerous' Android custom roms.
Overall a superb feel to phone (fast, light, good screen); instead of apps you often need to browse to sites but convenient "tiles" can be set up for favorite sites: apps can fail or get out of date more quickly that websites.

Still the best camera out there. The only mistake of Acer is to stick with Windows operating system. I wonder where they are now.

My Alcatel Idol 4S Windows received both of those updates. This phone is absolute junk.

Acer Boss: Gentleman we want to make an excellent Windows 10 Mobile device, have y'all got any ideas.
Employee 1: Let us put a small 2870mAh battery and a big 5.5 inch display.
Employee 2: Let us delay the release date of the phone till the specs become old and outdated.
Employee 3: Let us use a camera that is inferior to Lumia 950's camera.
Employee 4: Let us make the phone cheaper than Lumia 950.
*Boss stares at Employee 4 angrily and kicks him out through the office window.*
Anonymous, 03 Oct 2016Wow windows 10 mobile ? Awesome ! Better than androlag Even I love Windows 10 Mobile but I would still say that this phone ain't worth buying.
aw13, 09 Dec 2016However, the Alcatel is only on T-MobileNo it's not locked to T-Mobile, I bought it from their store, it's factory unlocked. However you would still need to pay $25 for the mandatory SIM and go through the SIM activation process even if you don't want to use it.
For the low price of $288 they're charging for the device I would say extra $25 is pretty nominal.
