I think some of your criticisms are a little unfair and show a techie bias. There are still many people out there who only have a mobile just-in-case, rather than an important part of their lifestyle. These people would be unlikely to care or even know about bluetooth beyond the occasional tut-tut when they see others walking down the street apparently talking to themselves. Maybe a camera would be nice but again unlikely to get much use and hardly a deal breaker in this market sector. I suggest that size, price and standby battery life are the truly important factors for it's target audience and it seems to fulfill this role well. I doubt it would interest many TR readers though, except as a present for mum.

If it has no radio, what's that last picture of then that says 'Radio' and '101.7'?!

@Simon - that would appear to be a picture of the S320 which appears to be the same phone with the inclusion of FM.

Simply superb if all you want is a basic mobile phone. No frills, just the ability to stay in touch. I'm an old (well, relatively old) fart who wanted a basic mobile without any cr*p like camera or radio (and both are *horrid* quality on mobies:- go on, admit it... ) The clamshell design protects the screen and the feature set is more than enough to validate the OT-S319 as a 'mobile phonebox wiv extras'. The Alcatel is superbly small and light - its like carrying a WAP enabled mobile phone pebble! (all apologies to the firm who owns the 'pebble' name, I'm sure).

Clearly, this handset has limited appeal. But it has outstanding battery life and the physical design is rather nice. It would function well for anyone who just wants a mobile for calls and texts and is happy with PAYG. The OT-S319 might also be worth considering if you're off on hols and want a simple, cheap phone that wouldn't be missed too much if it were lost or stolen. The lack of camera and Bluetooth are real annoyances though.
