Alcatel's new gold phone won't break Fort Knox
With a fresh coat of paint in just the right shade, Alcatel has turned its OneTouch Idol Alpha smartphone into a covetable handset.
Bar of gold
The shade is restrained champagne, just like another famous phone.
Not overpowering
Color rims the phone face and back, but doesn't overwhelm.
Side view
Straight sides give the form substance.
Grey and gold
Both Idol Alpha colors, side by side.
One last look
The 4.7-inch 720p HD Android 4.2 phone is notable in its own right. A higher-end device, it features a 13-megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
