Export your contacts to your PC using outlook synchroniser (included with the phone software).

my firmware is 188 and I have a card reader.
I haven't tried to reset my phone because I don't want to lose my contacts and my diary. How can I save that?

Jerico, what is your firmware? Also do you have a cardreader... see if the cards works normally there... Also try to reset your phone.
The S860 is already available in Asia... but it will NOT be available in Europe, as it is nothing more then a white S853.

Please help. this is really worse
My phone can't read my memory card when it exceeds more than 250MB (My memory card is 1GB). But when I tried to put MP3s with less than 250MB, my phone reads it.
1 day later...
I tried using a card reader. I put all 500+MB songs, games, etc on my card. Still, the phone doesn't read it. I deleted some of the files, so only 100MB is consumed. And this is my problem: My phone can't read my memory card even it's only 100MB! Please help me. Please please please. I don't wanna go to Wellcom again.

Jerico, The phone was originally designed to work with 512 mb memory cards only. Alcatel tweaked the software of the phone later to work with 1 GB too. However the phone shows the incorrect number of memory left... but still the entire memory is there... connect the phone to your pc by USB and check how much space the card shows there... if the card is not recognized please reformat it (beware this will cause of your data to be erased!).

@Knight and all, :) finally after several times try and error I found the formula! these are da spec of mp4 video files, if you want to convert all video files to mp4 so that can play smoothly at OT-S853:
-Video Frame Size 160x120,
-Video Bitrate 216kbps,
-Video frame rate 29.976fps,
-Audio Bitrate 32kbps,
-Audio Sample rate 2400Hz and
-Mono channel.
Even the sound is mono but the motion goes smooth and enjoyable.. :)

Jericho, let me tell you honestly about my unit. When I bought it last January 21 this year and have charged it fully, Its battery turns zero after 30 hours. I am playing videos and games in all of my free times and while I am working I also am playing mp3. With that the battery of my unit last only 30 hours. But now that its already 5 month-old its battery life last 48 hours. So its life extends after 5 months with the same usage like minimal with call and text but playing games all of my free times.
This may also help you. Prefer to listen to mp3 than in fm music. In playing fm radio, the phone spend power in picking up fm signal. It spend power again in broadcasting fm music (specially in hands free mode)while it also spend power in browsing and picking up network signal. And while tft phones consumes more power than the cstn/stn phone, this battery only have 810 maH.
I hope that few months from now, the battery life of your unit will extend too.

I don't think it's the best choice because if you browse its review in this website, you can discover that it receives more complaints besides of its being high priced. It's price is not worth its feature. I even believe that S853 is more worthy of being a high price phone than that because of its features specially its sound quality. And if I have to buy nokia, I will choose the N70 as it is the only nokia phone so far that does not received more complains, only minimal, although it is very expensive too. But anyway, I respect your opinion.
