T-Mobile US exclusively launched the IDOL 4S with Windows 10 in November for $469 – but then dropped its price to $432 in January, and $288 in February. Now, it’s removed the device from its range.
In November, T-Mobile US exclusively launched the Alcatel IDOL 4S with Windows 10 , a flagship-class Windows phone with plenty of high-end specs, an appealing price tag, and – uniquely – support for virtual reality, with its own VR headset. The device was priced at $469 from the carrier when it originally went on sale, but two months later, its price was reduced by 8% to $432.
In February, T-Mobile slashed another third off its price, cutting to $288. That reduction was marked as a ‘special offer’, but the deal never actually ended… until now, as the device has been removed from T-Mobile’s web store. Try to view its product listing, and the page won’t load at all ; try to search for a Windows or Alcatel device on the T-Mo site, and you’ll be told that there are “no items found”.
The handset was always labeled as a ‘web exclusive’, with no availability in the carrier’s retail stores.
