The hotly anticipated Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 has finally arrived at mobile and home broadband company Dodo with the companies website listing the phone for sale on their website for outright purchase or on a plan.
Back in October, Alcatel OneTouch did announce that the phone would arrive in early November, but a month and a half later, the phone has arrived and at $379 with a $9.90 delivery fee, the handset gives you a fairly impressively specced device:

If you’re willing to sign up for a plan, Dodo have a selection of 24 month plans you can pay a handset repayment on and grab an Idol 3 as your device. Prices range from $27.90 including the $10 handset repayment and range up to $49.90 per month which includes a decent 5GB of data per month. Extra data can be picked up as a data pack for $10 per GB, which is recommended as they charge $15 per GB if you go over your cap.
A quick talk to Dodo customer service had them advising a 3-5 day turn around, business days, so get in early. We first saw the Idol 3 at MWC in February before reviewing it in July, the end result is that if you’re looking for a phone in this price range then the Idol 3 is highly recommended.
Dodo is the exclusive seller of the Idol 3 in Australia so it’s not available at retailers, though it may head out to Dodo retail outlets at some stage.
