Jerico... I would advise you to try till you find one that works, tip SanDisk maybe? Also... if that does not help call your service center and ask what they know?

Charging the phone is NOT possible via usb --- PC by default Maniatko... unless you use a different USB cable I suppose, in fact... if you can charge drop me an email and explain it to me how your phone does it. Thanks.

I brought my phone to the store where I bought it. They replaced my 1GB memory card to a new one. Still, my phone doesn't read it.
I think my phone can't read KingCom memory cards. Do you think 1GB Kingston memory cards will work fine?

The phone is updateable at any official service center in the world, so that would not be a problem.
There are car chargers available on www.protel.de and www.cellatel.com. Charging by pc via usb is not possible.

Charging S853 by PC via USB is possible, I charge mine that way :)

I need access to other language(Chinese and Japanese) on my phone, but my local service center only have the English firmware available.
Is there any third party software that I can install on this phone to allow non-English language to be display on web browsing and SMS?
thanks in advance!

OK I give up. I will bring this again to the shop where I bought it (Wellcom).
I backed-up all my files and reset it for three times. Still, my phone can't read my card.
After I reset it, it reads my card perfectly but after restoring all the default pics and sounds, It doesn't read again.
And I did that backing-up, restoring and renaming for three times. I'm so tired
What I do now to read my 1GB card perfectly is to insert first my old 256MB card, then turn it on, let it load for 5 minutes, then turn it off. After that, I remove the 256MB card, then change it with my 1GB card, turn it on, load for 5 minutes, then It's OK now. But I should not turn it off, or else, I'll repeat the process again.
This bothers me a lot. It takes me a lot of effort. So I decided to bring it back to Wellcom and let them fix this. If anyone can help me solve this, please post or e-mail me the solution. I'll bring this tomorrow afternoon to Wellcom so I have only 24 hours to wait for your help. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, Knight Rider!
BTW, what is the latest firmware now? (188? 18B? What are the difference between the two?)
Thanks a lot!

Mariner, originally this is made to support up to 512 MB only but alcatel tweak it to support up to 1 GB. So it can support 1 Gb card now.

you don't need to by a car charger from alcatel
just a universal car charger with usb (like one for mp3 players) and use a normal usb cable to connect the phone to charger (I have one and it works fine)
It also possible to charge the phone with usb power supply (the stand alone version with usb connector) made for charging an mp3 player on the road (when you are away from your pc)
but it's NOT possible to charge the phone by connecting it with usb cable to a pc or mac

Hi,
Regarding the firmware, it seems that here they only have Thai version only...
I have a chance to go to KL, Malaysia soon. Would it be possible for me to get firmware upgrade there? (I bought the phone in Thailand though...)
If it is, how long does it take for them to upgrade the firmware?
Thanks a lot!

Help! Help! My phone can't read my 1gb memory card again after I restored all my contacts and default images, frames, icons and videos.
Please help me. I hope I wouldn't reset my phone again.

Welcome and resetting your phone should be the last option ifever you encounter the same problem again. And please be reminded that to have your unit and 1 GB mini sd functioning well you must not load more than 40 games and apps, don't load more than 40 images and more than 20 videos too. The rest of your 1 GB memory can be used in storing mp3s but just give at least 10 percent free memory space for unexpected things that you have to capture in your phone. Enjoy with your S853.
