Back to 1995

Chapter 701 Enthusiasm
When he was in the flagship store, Brady was dazzled by all the products inside, and didn't even think about whether he had been cut off from leeks.

America Telecom's flagship store now not only sells Alcatel mobile phones, but also sells Panda LCD TVs, Fortinet hardware firewalls, and also acts as an agent for other brands of cameras, DVDs, VCRs and other electronic and digital products. It tends to be products of mid-to-high-end brands.

When the P1 was released last year, it launched a universal charger and sold it together. This year, it is also sold together with the P2, as well as memory cards, earphones, USB data cables for connecting mobile phones to computers, and other mobile phone accessories!
Compared with the P2 mobile phone, the most important accessories are probably the memory card and the mobile phone data cable. If you want to install two more songs, you must use the storage, and the mobile phone data cable is connected to the mobile phone and the computer.

The data cable of Alcatel mobile phone is the first USB data cable in the world. The USB technology was jointly developed by Compaq and Microsoft, DEC, IBM, etc. four years ago.

In fact, several computer manufacturers got together with Microsoft to formulate USB patents and technologies, ensuring that USB can be used in all major computer brands. Of course, manufacturers who produce USB have to pay them!

Alcatel's USB mobile phone data cable, of course, also "borrowed" part of the USB design, but it bypassed Compaq's patents.

As for whether Compaq's computer manufacturers will find fault and fight a USB patent lawsuit with Alcatel mobile phones in the future, it is not easy to say, but one thing is that in the future, other mobile phone brands, MP3 players, Walkmans, etc. Electronic products, if you want to use a USB data cable, you have to pay for the Alcatel mobile phone honestly, and you can’t do without a penny!
Even for one USB data cable, Alcatel mobile phones only charge five cents for the patent fee. Think about how many USB data cables will be produced every year in the future. Patents, Bluetooth, USB data cables and the like can be kept for many years.

Just like Nokia, mobile phone brands have been sold for more than ten years, and they still receive patent fees of 15 billion euros a year from Apple, Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers. The lawsuit can bring back a large sum of money!

Everything is the same, even if it sounds like a high-end 5G, 6G and other technologies, they are all developed on the basis of 2G. As long as you use 2G technology, you have to pay for Alcatel mobile phones. In the future, you only need to play Mobile phone, no one can escape!
There are two styles of P2, 2G memory is 499 US dollars, 4G is 599 US dollars, both of which are the largest memory in the mobile phone industry!
The memory card technology is the technology of Samsung and LG acquired by Alcatel mobile phone, and the memory card technology of the stick is quite powerful, which saves Alcatel mobile phone a lot of effort.

Brady bought the 599G version of P4 for 2 US dollars, bought a memory card, USB card, a spare battery, and activated the CRBT service. Within ten minutes, it cost [-] US dollars!
Inside, I didn't feel it when I was buying, buying, buying, but when I came out, Brady felt as if he had been cut again.

However, the Alcatel mobile phone provides a one-month warranty and a small insurance, which barely comforts Brady's leek.

Alcatel mobile phones are still not willing to cut too hard. If you really want to cut hard, you have to buy the data cable and earphones of the mobile phone by Brady himself. Dayang, Brady must never leave the gate of the flagship store.

Although it feels a little expensive, but after getting it, Brady returned immediately and started to experience it.

The first thing to do must be to connect the mobile phone to the computer. With a sound of "boom", Brady saw a mobile phone logo appearing in the lower right corner of the computer. For Brady who experienced it for the first time , It is definitely a novel experience to connect the computer and mobile phone together.

Alcatel officially recommends that users download genuine music from the Symbian Music Store. For this reason, a new mobile phone user like Brady is also given a one-month Saipan Music Store membership, allowing him to download some music for free in the Music Store. , Paid music can also be purchased at [-]% off.

Simultaneously open the Symbian music store on the computer and the Symbian music player on the mobile phone. Brady finds a song, clicks to download, and then "imports" to the mobile phone. After tens of seconds pass, the notification sound sounds again. When the first "old song" by the Beatles really appeared in the Symbian player of the mobile phone, Brady couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Brady downloaded some songs to the P2 mobile phone, including several paid pop songs overseas, and the paid songs in the Saipan Music Store cost US$[-] a song, which is much cheaper than those in the record store .

But Brady soon discovered that the song library of the Saipan Music Store is really too small, most of them are old songs, and those songs and music that are popular now are almost rare in the Saipan Music Store. It's blank, which makes Brady very helpless.

But when I think about it, Brady accidentally got on Scour and Napster, two music websites mentioned on the electronic forum.

As soon as he opened the Scour website, Brady clearly felt that the scale of users was much larger than that of the Saipan Music Store. Under any song, there were hundreds of users discussing it, unlike the Saipan Music Store. Almost no one cares about those songs.

After looking at the page, Brady called it a good guy, and saw Scour's homepage, almost all of which were best-selling songs on the American Music Chart. Brady didn't know whether Scour had obtained authorization from the record company, but felt that In all likelihood, the songs on the front page are not from a record company...

The Scour website also supports downloading songs, but it cannot be downloaded directly to the Symbian music player on the P2 mobile phone. Once downloaded, the Symbian music player on the Alcatel mobile phone will display "not recognized". , and then there is a sentence, please go to the Saipan Music Store to download the song.

However, this is not difficult for Brady, because in the song comment section of the Scour website, there are enthusiastic netizens who teach how to download music from Scour to Alcatel mobile phones throughout the process, which can be called five-star enthusiastic netizens...

Download the music directly, put it on the memory of the Alcatel mobile phone, and then use the "Local Music" at the bottom of the player to import the songs into the playlist.

After downloading, Brady couldn't help but fell into deep thought when looking at the songs on his phone that were the same as those downloaded from the Symbian music store. He didn't know why, how did he feel that the search for "local songs" in this P2 phone, It is prepared for websites such as Scour and Napster. It seems that I am afraid that users will not give up, so a "one-click import" is here!
Whether the Alcatel phone was on purpose, Brady didn't know, but it downloaded a lot of popular songs, filling more than half of the phone's memory.

In terms of the sound quality of the P2, Brady can also clearly feel that it is far from Sony's Walkman, but as a function on the mobile phone, when you go out or rest at night, you can listen to it with your mobile phone. Song is enough for Brady!
Brady also tried other functions of P2, downloaded a photo of a Hollywood actress from Scour, used it as the background image of his mobile phone, and also tried functions such as e-books and games, and finally spent another two dollars. After setting a song as the ringtone of his mobile phone, Brady looked up and two hours had passed.

Opening the electronic forum, Brady saw that last night, electronic enthusiasts who swore to never buy P2 had already posted a lot of P2 mobile phone evaluation posts, and Brady also began to write evaluation posts , he is quite famous in this electronic forum.

What makes Brady famous is not his professionalism, but that he buys a lot of electronic gadgets. Brady often buys the latest electronic products, and then sends out evaluations, which makes him more famous on the jar. !

"It's still a surprise, and it's still worth buying. Alcatel P2 is still one of the best mobile phones this year..."

Brady is editing posts on the forum. He is not very professional, but he has bought mobile phones from Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, etc., and the best experience for him is still the Alcatel mobile phone.

Whether it is the function of the mobile phone or the fluency of operation, as an ordinary electronic user, Brady feels that P2 meets his needs, and even exceeds them. From P1 to P2, there are novelties beyond his expectations every time. If nothing else happens, when P3 comes out next year, he... will still be that leek.

The plane circled over Rome and started to land. Song Yang glanced at the time and felt that the first-day sales of Alcatel mobile phones should be counted soon.

There was a satellite phone on the business plane, and Song Yang and Ertian had a phone call. By noon, the sales volume of Alcatel P2 in America had set a new record, but the sales volume in major markets around the world was still unknown. is unknown.

It sells well in America, but whether Alcatel P2 will be accepted in other markets in North America, Europe, and Asia is anyone's guess.

The plane landed slowly on the Da Vinci Airport, and there were already many people waiting there.

Let Viola go out of the airport first, followed by Song Yang. As soon as he got out of the airport, there was a burst of camera flashes. Although the Italian reporters present were all interested in Song Yang, they knew the rules and didn't all jump on him.

"Welcome back to Rome!"

A tall, slightly bloated old man with a big nose bridge opened his arms towards Song Yang and the others.

"Member Silvio!"

Viola took the lead and hugged Silvio, followed by Song Yang. When Song Yang and Silvio stood together, the surrounding reporters were desperately erasing the film.

Behind Silvio is a group of celebrities and powerful figures in Rome, including the old Ferrero who went to America before. The old Ferrero was inconspicuous in America, but in Rome, he was an absolute big shot.

"Congratulations, Song, the Alcatel mobile phone has created a miracle today. The sales volume of P2 has exceeded one million!" Old Ferrero congratulated Song Yang in front of the media present.
