Alcatel OT-616c / E781A (Smartfren XStre@m)



The Alcatel OT-616c / E781A is a high-end CDMA candybar phone released by Alcatel in 2011.

This was the first Smartfren CDMA phone to support the 1x EV-DO Rev.A network, which allowed for video and audio streaming. This phone comes with a built-in browser called Opera Mini (BREW, Version 6.0.0.00143) and some social media apps (of which some open in the browser). The XStre@m retailed for 299.000 IDR ($19.99 USD).

The Smartfren-exclusive successor to this phone is known as the Alcatel ED782A, with some minor design changes.

The OT-616c was released on Smartfren in Indonesia and MTS in India.

Known Issues
Some users have had the built-in Opera Mini browser app stop working after extended use, which happens when the phone's battery is completely depleted while the built-in Opera Mini browser is still running. This corrupts a few critical files that affect the browser, and it will not open when the phone reboots. The same thing happens for the new Smartfren-exclusive model, the ED782A.
