      soona, 02 Nov 2008so it can be connected (thnx keenen btw! :D) i don't kno... moreif you buy this phone you will do a big mistake, especially after using a nokia phone. if you are interested read the problems that could not be solved, the softver problem an so on.... there are a lot
      i think buying a phone that cost as much as this alkatel is good solution.

        so it can be connected (thnx keenen btw! :D)

        i don't know much about new phones i've an old model (nokia 1110i) & i'm thinking about buying a new phone with advanced features..and i also like alcatel (coz it was my 1st phone before this nokia) and i liked it so much! :) it has a strong signal..
        that's why i was wondering about connecting it to pc...and if i can copy files and so on..
        though i'm still confused to choose..
        should i choose the shape of the phone?
        or the specifications?...

            Alcatel gprs featured phones can be used as internet modem. This is true since the time OT 535.

                                julius, 13 Oct 2008the phone would have been great if it could deliver what's ... moreFor me, using 128, 256 or 1 gb mini sd card does not matter. This phone can hold up to 1 gb mini sd card but please be reminded that it is always normal for a phone (not only S853) to read slowly if your memory card is full or have unsupported files. S853 will really hang up if it detects unsupported files. I am using 1 gb Kingston memory card (and the memory card recommended for this is sandisk)and I've experienced no problem except if the card has unsupported file. So, just check your memory card. You may have loaded it with .wav or other unsupported files.

                                    Nelson, 11 Oct 2008to be honest with you, I also have experienced occasional h... morethe phone would have been great if it could deliver what's said in the specification. the phone was returned to me two days ago. it doesnt hang up on calls anymore but instead, it takes long to read the memory card despite that i only used a 512 mb card. before i handed it for repair/inspection i borrowed once from a firend a 1GB miniSD and it did not take long to read its content. the retailer said that the alcatel people changed the motherboard. i asked for a "diagnostic report" but tey said there was none. how would i know what really was wrong with my phone. anyway, im just glad it's been returned to me but still i think i wasted hard earned money buying this phone. i was only basing my purchase on reviews and phone specifications. i could'nt then make judgment on hand-on experience, how could i, right? but since i have brought it. i will just have to stick with it for as long as i can. no use crying over spilled milk or have i just done that? so nelson, how can i improve my phone's performance? thanks.

With this, I am thinking that your unit is not 18B firmwared so you must have its firmware upgraded into 18b or higher.
