Well, i guess i've found my first bug.. Can't turn off Bluetooth... when i try to switch it off, phone restarts.

also, i can't install pcsuit correctly, erro 1603 in the middle or smt.

    To Eli:

    The same problem regarding 1 GB card happened to me. Mine showed nearly the same size, i.e. 318 MBs of a free space. Get yourself 2 cards, each containing 512 MBs. They should work.
    My card's manufacturer was APACER. Yet it seems to be the older firmware's problem.

        If you live in the netherlands you order it at www.protel.de I think.

        @Elli: That's not good. If I use a 1 GB memory card the phone shows me 999MB of free space - that's normal I think ;)

                To Aud:

                Where did you get this phone? If it's Pixmania, start searching for the repair centre to update your firmware. Mine's down, HUNG also has the same problem - these are the phones that carry the earlier firmware versions. PROTEL meanwhile sells the later versions that work fine.

                Otherwise it might be a problem of a card. Try another one. My Alcatel worked fine with the 512 MB card. Sometimes it stalled when I was trying to use too many functions at the sime time, but overall performance was satisfactory.

                  @Aud:

                  I've got no problems - not with 256MB, 512MB or 1 GB - no problems, everyone is working fine.

                      dunno, my bro bought it for me, maybe around US$290. package: phone+batt, free mini sd 128mb, cd software pcsuite 4.17 (u MUST MUST MUST read PCSuite417 USBHelp from www.alcatel.dk/mobile/index.jhtml for installation), usb cable, stereo earphone+ music controller, black rubber hand band with alcatel logo, charger (usb socket), no BT

                      If u fail in replying sms, check the sms sending expiration setting, maybe u use never delete, try change the sending expiration for sms from never delete to another ( i suggest 1 week). it solved my sms replying problem.
                      good luck

                            Sorry, i buy this phone in manila; philiphine, For Jakarta center try Mansyur HP: 0818801886. But last time i call he said s853 wasn't ready. Maybe you better wait indonesian version cos philipine version doesnt have indonesian language menu and t9, only english and spanish.
                            there still some bugs in s853 so maybe you want to wait for s860. See:wapzon.com/web/devicedetail.asp?Pid=8860&Bid=2
                            Good luck

                                  In my country it is absolutely necessary to add the country code before the number, i.e. write thae whole international telephone number. Just get used to entering the whole numbers with + into the directory and the problem's solved.

                                    With my s853, replying incoming sms often fail, especially to some network but if u remove the sms to draft and send it again, or modify and send it again it works. Anyone find this problem and manage to solve it?
                                    Also this phone often fail to send sms to numbers with country code ( + ).
                                    Anyone find this problem and manage to solve it?
                                    thanx

                                      Sorry MPU that I was not on Skype, I just read your message, anyway I will be online tomorrow afternoon/evening. I could answer your questions then, however I can answer one right now. I also have a black standby screen but you see that's not really a bug it is just part of the phone's software protocol. The C552 has the same thing a black standby screen. So it is not really a bug. Maybe it is a bit of carelessness of the software designers of the new range of phones.

                                      See you tomorrow then.
