  • How much pictures could you make with 3 mb ? Greets Kilian

  • HTML browser? I want it?

  • i bought this phone jan 2005 and have had continuous probs with it ever since ive bought it. alcatel took it in 5!!!!! times to 'fix' the prob but still doesnt go properly-the screen fades, sometimes cant send/receive txts, etc. i dont want to put anyone off buying this phone, i think i just got the 'bad apple' of the bunch as the vodafone lady put it.

  • I own this phone and i LOVE it! the screen is good the camera is good the sound is good and best of all: the price it good(60 euro)! the only thing i dislike is that the software only works for windows xp i would give it an 11 if posible...

  • hi everybody, i have the phone and i love it, but i have a problem with the irda, i have win 98 in my pc and i can't find the soft, pc suit comes for 2000 and xp, i can send files from my pc to the phone but not in the other way, any one knows the soft or the solution for my problem?

  • help,my OT-565 suddenly not working properly, problem is scarmbled sound. any idea? thanks

  • this phone does not really have a usb port because i have this phone and it appears not to have it

  • very nice mobil, alcatel is the best

  • I'm really happy with this phone. Almost everything is good: the camera, the sound, the keys, the screen, the price. Right now i have 184 sms and 175 photos saved, 2MB is enough for me. Alcatel is not a well-known name, but this phone is as good as the others!

  • Simply nice fone, good performence and reliable too. Thanks to Alcatel

  • I'm going to buy it too. On the 3rd of november. For 70 EUROS. The alcatel OT565. but 2 mb, of what do I have to think then? storing photo's is that : 10, 20 etc. photos stored Thanks

  • Actually mine is just a question. I recently bought the new alcatel 565. Its a great phone for me to have i mean its got beautiful features and all that and the camera images are so so clear. My only problem is that I am unable to change the message alert tone. Does it come fixed to one tone, if not how can i change it to something i like. The manual came with languages that I dont understand! I was hoping it to have an english version as well. please help me, anyone. I live in Kenya

  • The phone doesn't have an usb port. You can connect it to a pc by infrared (Like a tv remote control) You'll need an IrDa adapter which probably will be connected to an usb port.

  • I like my new telephone but think it's strange that the software included (PC Sofware suite 3) doesn't let you copy java games. At the site below you can download an addon (JavaLoader) that will enable you to download them. It will give an error message. (Something about wrong version of PC Software suite.) If you edit the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alcatel\One Touch PC Suite 3\Content Manager and set the version to 3.34 it will run.

  • where is the usb port ??? :(

  • Can anyone help me? I downloaded the PCSuite from Alcatel webpage, I tried to run the setup.exe, but the phone does not connect through the infrared port, and the setup does not run. The infrared port of the PC works OK with other phones. Thanks for any help. Eduardo

  • Alcatel Rules

  • Sorry uuall don't mean to used the F or s word but i didnt say di F word..................peace

  • Whatever he/she said`~Great phone, good price, great features, Alcatel makes overall great phones

  • Alcatel The best...im telling u"all,everone in the world got the same brand phone, like nokia samsung ericsson. I Like this phone cozz not many people have it.......so Alcatel Rock.Peace uuall....R.I.A Rest In Alcatel

  • Never Had This Phone Seems nice , I like it...

  • I dont like this phone. If you want a medium class french phone go for mix-5-2 or take motorola e398-best phone ever

  • I have one of these to sell, it's brand new! if your interested email me.

  • You can only Recieve or download videos. there is no video camera.

  • hi i got a cuestion about alcatel OT 565 can you rec you�re videos or only can reproduced thanks a lot

  • its not 3mb, its 2mb shared memory, but great phone!

  • great price, only $349 new zealand and its a vodafone live capable phone, great phone

  • Decent phone especially for 350 NZD. The Camera is excellent! and the ringtones sound great.

  • Very good phone at an excellent price.My only problem is that it seems to be too big, I had a Siemens S 55 before, and the quality of the plastic is not exceptional.But is verysturdy ,battery is very good and the signal strong.has lots of features, a logical menu and the camera is pretty good.Over all, I doubt there is a better phone in this price range and even further.It has all you need in a mobile phone and more.

  • The alcatel ot 565 polyphonic (40 channels) can fight with samsung polyphonic (40 channels) or not? Will the ot 565 polyphonic lose to other 40 channels polyphonic. My means is the quality of alcatel ot565 polyphonic good or not. And i want ask the usb port is use for what?

  • From my research, the OT 565, 556 and 557 only differ cosmetically. In fact, the latter share an instruction manual, and the electronic copy of the 565 looks the same to me. I am very happy with my OT557, easy to use, good reception, great sound, many features. If one needs video and bluetooth, go for the model higher in the range. If not, this has everthing most people need, including a VGA camera, speakerphone, java games, WAP over GPRS, IR link with PC address books, etc, etc at a reasonable price in a (to me) attractive shape. Five Stars!

  • what different 565 with 557?

  • Great phone, good price, great features, Alcatel makes overall great phones

  • I think Alcatel's cameras are one of the best... They're great.

  • Overall great phone, Ive always liked alcatel...But im dissapointed that they are behind in overall great features, like add FM radio to some phones and Bluetooth and EDGE and better cameras, Alcatel is a real good brand but they need to relise that NOKIA, sony ericsson, Samsung and Motorola are bringing out real good phones

  • Talk time is up to 7 hour not 3 hour!!

  • Does it have 2 or 3mb memory? This web site says it has 3mb, but most of the others say it has 2mb only.

  • how much is it in us dollars or peso?

  • This is great...

  • How much to buy this phone?

  • why does this phone has 2 model number 557/565? any difference between 557 and 565?

  • alcatel ot557 launch this month in malaysia.

  • Talk time is up to 7 hour not 3 hour!!

  • i bought it and it is superb.The features are top class, the screen is bright, the batery has a long life, the camera is very good, with a lot of quality options. I am very pleased with it,altough i didnt trust too much Alcatel brand. And for the price that i payed for it, it is unbeliveable. VERY, VERY GOOD!!!!!

  • good phone!!!

  • it has a good shape...
