    squashling, 27 Jul 2008i just buyed a 2gb SDmini memory card for this phone and my... morewell how i wish it can hold up to that 2 GB memory you were talking...but as to the manual that was with the phone when we buy it, it can only hold up to 512 MB for normal operation... but with the help of GSMarena they were able to use 1GB of memory and told us that it can handle such memory...well thanks to them... so my advise is to treat your phone as a phone...not an mp3 player or a PSP player...well i have 150 songs and 30 games on my phone but i always make sure that it has still free space of 20% and my phone memory at 95%...thats how my phone is now...

      This phone is capable of handling up to 1 gb mini sd card. If you have to use 2 gb for any reason, then buy another 1 gb. Inserting 2 gb mini sd in this model will result to abnormal operation or abnormal function but the phone is not damaged with that. It just can't hold more than 1 gb.

          to abbie:

          you need to go to extras and choose bluetooth...and then try to deactivate it and hide it from any incoming....

          you can restart your phone by pressing ###847#...then the phone will ask you, restore factory settings???? then click yes...but before you restart, make sure you have already saved your pictures and other files to the memory card...

          goodluck

                    If you have something to inquire about this phone, you may post it here or email Knight Rider or me. My email is nelson_maus@yahoo.com. If you want games and applications for this, just make yourself one of the members in yahoo group then you can download games and applications for this phone there. You may also opt to email me and I'll provide you. The latest game that I have provided to Keenen (my latest requestor) is feeding frenzy. Again, for inquires about this phone, post it here or email me or Knight Rider.

                      I would like to reiterate that this phone supports up to 1 gb mini sd memory card. And as far as I know, there's no other phone from the big brands yet that have equaled the sound quality of this phone. They may just sound louder than this but cannot compete the sound quality of OT S853. Also, the bluetooth of this phone is for bluetooth headset only. You can transfer files into this phone via infrared or usb. This phone supports usb charging.

                          yes you are free to say that the phone is bad...well maybe you are not looking into its features before buying...make sure that when you buy your phone, it must meet your needs... well i definitely need music and thwese phone has met that...

                            i wanna know what is the capacity of the memory card...coz im using 1GB of memory card...well it actually hanged my phone once but it was solved by restartring the celfone using ###847#...but i advise you not to fully load the memory card coz the phone specs in the manual is only at 512MB...try to remove the memory card from the celfone and restart the celfone...put it back and i know it will be as good as it was...

                            to all of you...i have an impressive test on my celfone music playing capabilities...last night i fully charge my celfone and let it play music through speakers with volume at level 5...it went playing at 5.5 hours...i always thought that the battery i have was defective but now i know its a good one...i wanna thank alcatel for this phone..thank you alcatel...to nelson and knight rider ty also guys...

                                  ok heres my answer to some questions...

                                  1.) when i first charged my phone it was around 8 hours as advised by the technician...well i see it in the net, they sell alcatel batteries and you need to charge it to 16 hours, well thats their battery...well maybe you need to ask the technician on where you bought your phone....

                                  2.) im using a 1GB memory card and im doing fine...well i made my hang once but just once...you to know that our phone isnt that fast as a super computer, but ill tell you, i have 1GB memory, with 160 songs and some funny videos and 40 photos shoot at 1.3Mpix...thers no doubt that 1GB memory card can be used...just try it and wait for it to read the memory...

                                  3.) it is nice that the pc im using has a built-in memory card reader...i dont need to use usb cables to transfer mp3... all you need to to is plug in your memory card...go to the place where the card is readble...open the mp3 files...transfer it automatically to your memory card and voila! its there... unplug the memory card from the pc...insert it to your phone...wait for it to read the memory card, and well hahaha....you have yourself the mp3 you transfered...so crispy sound from the s853...

                                    I have same experience with my battery like yours, it seems caused by charging overnight habbit which make the battery broken. It's time to replace your battery

                                      Hello guys,
                                      does any one have problems with the phone battery? Namely, I charge it completely, but when you make a call, after 1-2mins it will start:Battery empty,please switch off. end the call, leave it for 1 min and the battery indicator is to max again. Sometimes it will even cut the calls. I did a master reset, but no change.
                                      Any suggestions?
