To drareg & other users. To stop the mp3 play while it playing on music player or playing on background just simply press the left side dedicated mp3/fm button for about 2 seconds.
Or if you left the mp3 playing on backgroud & the autolock has set in, unlock the keypad first & then just follow the above guide.
One advice try not to use full mp3 song as message tone because when you receive message the phone will play the mp3 until finish even though you already closed/ finished reading, or you will have to stop the song manually from the memory card. In some occasion like meeting or in lecture/class the long play of mp3 song after the message may annoy others especially when you are playing songs from Disturbed/ Systems of a Down(like me:)

Why? Why again? When the ot735 came out they locked its infrared for transfers between devices. And now they locked the bluetooth transfer in S853! Why again the sam mistake alcatel? in 735 they dont fixed that. Hope maybe in this phone in future to unlock the bluetooth.

To drareg:
I ain't revalling my error that I received when I tried to install the 853 soft, but actually I tried to do that on the same computer that had 757 software. Once I shifted to another computer, things went fine though.
So perhaps it is a software bug, perhaps it is an incompatibility issue. Try another PC. :)

2)The software stops at the third phase of the installation. It just won't continue. It says -"Wait for your computer to detect the phone and proceed with automatic modem installation. This may take several minutes." So I left to have breakfast and when I came back it's still in the same phase with this same note. Did i do anything wrong?

hi-ho
after a week of scouting this forum, I finally scored an OS-T835 this afternoon.
I don't change phones very often. Hope this one will give me a couple of years of good music. I feel like a college kid all over again with this phone.
Would you guys here give an advice on what particular affordable bluetooth headset to use with this phone.
just stored some neil young and some latin music into the free 128mb mini SD card. I'd get the roxio 2moro so I could convert some Bowie, Steely Dan and junior kilat songs into mp3.
tnx guys

FYI, according to Versatile Telecoms, the promo period for the OT-S853 package including the 128mb memory card has already ended. Now they only sell it without memory card whatsoever and it was still priced at P11300 the last time I visited them. But there are still a lot of stores at the mall, which have the package including the 128mb memory card. At a store besides shakeys at the Festival mall they sell it for P11300.

Hi there MPU!
tsk tsk tsk too bad am not a Nikon-Pentax guy as I am a Canon (Kiss N) and Oly (C8080) fella (with a pana for video)but I do hear you loud and clear re the flash ish.
And you are right the stereo sound of the OT-S is fab. The SE W550i does come close to it, maybe even equals it. And the W550i is louder. It's down side though is it's more expensive and has no memory card slot.
I don't have a sound system at home so am looking for a phone that will double as an i-pod. (Maybe, I'd pair it with an Altec Lansing sub woofer.) The OT-S is the top candidate.
cheers!

To Ali Pinoy:
I agree with you to agree with me, but actually you should get Nikon, not the Pentax :)
Anyway, to tell the truth if someone really wants to get really good photos he should get a good camera and a separate flashlight. I remember the times when Nikon Collpix 5700 costed 1500 euros and still its integrated flashlight though powerful, did not make satisfactory indoor photos from the decent distance.
So, guys, buy 853 for its superb sound, nice look and powerful organizing features, but please shoot with real cameras :)

To those who want a complete and satisfactory camera functions, go buy PENTAX digital camera. A mobile phone camera cannot compete nor can it equal the full function of digital camera. I agree with MPU that flash range of a mobile phone reaches only up to 1 meter while the camera reaches up to 5 meters.
