  • Alcatel's a cool brand, i never used it or owned 1 before but their phones comes in cool, fresh designs. Q: Does Alcatel phones 'Last Long?' not in battery life but phone lasting... and is it user friendly?

  • Alcatel has brought out the 355i, its the same design but with a VGA camera and Bluetooth Also the alcatel 836, same design as the 835 has a improved 1.2MP camera with video, with added Bluetooth, Java 2.0 and MP3 player

  • cOol phonE, but abit LacK, i canT uSe e gprs, oso dun noe why.. nice phone wif cool feature.. can buy

  • Yes They are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!! THey always have a sueprb design!!!!!!

  • Alcatel 756 launch this month in MALAYSIA !!!!!!

  • good phone

  • No memory expansion slot with 1 meg camera resolution????? What wrong Alcatel??????????

  • nice !!

  • This phone is currently selling for around 300 US dollars in HK.

  • What is GPRS for?

  • its A CRAP fone, alcatel I used to think the alcatel 835 was kool, now its just a mess, as it has no bluetooth, java, or MP3, Come on, FUTURE!!!!!, make sure the 835i or the 836 will be BETTER!

  • it all the information is on the phone data site...

  • Where can I order from? Which networks is it available with?

  • rm1399 in malaysia

  • hei it has 3meg camera!!! arggh!!

  • i wrote an e-mail to Alcatel in Denmark and they said thatOT 835 would be in the stores in Denmark in August.... so I guess we just have to wait

  • lookz like a samsung...

  • can we use data cable to download/create ring tones as it dosen't have infra red port?

  • Unknown, 2004-05-31 Most of the people just don't realise that 256K is actually equal to 262144. This is because the "K" is 1024, not 1000. Some of the makers prefer to use 262K for their specs to look like their screens are slightely better, but this is a simple cheat.

  • can anyone tell me when it's coming to europe. I read someplace that it was coming in april 2004, but... I don't se it anywhere???

  • polyphonic maiodies 40 tones, 128 instruments. talk time: 7h not 2h

  • this phone has 262k color screen, not 256k color screen.

  • What is the format of its WAV tones, meaning the compression type. And can it be used as MESSAGE TONES besides as RINGTONES. Thanks.

  • How much is the price in dollars or euro in Asia for this phone?

  • Around RM1200-RM1300 worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how much in malaysiaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • It's for sale only in Asia now. It'll come to Europe later.

  • How much is the price in europe for this phone?

  • hellooo maxstell...! of cause it have camera. u should checkout phone data first

  • How do I shop for Alcatel Phone. Please, contact me soonest. My email address: [email protected] Thank you.

  • alkatel is the future of mobile telephony.nokia and others are have nothing more to offer

  • I wan ask something. Alcatel One Touch 835 got camera on it or not? And i want know it's price? Please reply me. Thanks.

  • too less for a talk time 2 hrs is nothing

  • anyone can tell how much is this 835 cost in malaysia ? and does it support chinese ? what about the cam ? is it good ?

  • xexexe I read this note 'bout who's better Alcatel (France) or Philips (Holland),and I can tell to all that ur crazy!!Philips is good in makeing lightballs,iron and the other house-stuff ; Alcatel is like Franch cars,preety but complicate!End of discussion...

  • Why don't all these goddamn Phillips fanboys shut up and piss off back to the Phillips board?

  • The spec or the sample unit often fools people. It's an Asia ODM model and the interface is not so-good to use as previous Alcatel phone. Its release time has been delay from the end of 03, to Q1 of 04', now Q2 so what's going ? I rather to choice a better design Korean mobile with style and fashion. Check out Pantech's serise or any other Korean phone.

  • OK. I only knew that it's from a BENELUX (Belgium, Nederland, Luxemburg) country... But not German, that's for sure. Oh, and 835 IS THE BEST!!!!!!! :)

  • alcatel 835 is the best !!!

  • At least!!! ALCATEL woke up!! A superb phone by Frenches

  • Sorry Philips is Dutch!!!!!! And not German and Belgium!

  • And? 835 is still better... To be correct, Philips is NOT German, but Belgian. Who cares about Philips in an Alcatel forum???

  • what an idiot! philips arent japs! they are from germany. And for ur info, they are the no.1 corparation in europe! their earnings are more than some countries! Just an eg. on their achivement, they co-founded the cd(that means compact disc if u dont understand) technology. and they just recently came up with a camera lense that works like a human eye, it focus almost as fast(meaning way faster than electronic camera lenses), its liquid based and it consummes 1 million times less electricity then current ones and guess what, this is good news for phones cause its bloody small too. so please shut up if dont know shit. u are embarassing the literates...

  • I thinks this phone is greatttttt!!! but any info about the conectivity??? is 835 have bluthut

  • I'm sorry but where do you read that alcatel OT835 has mp3 ringtones, and you're right this is not a fair comparation. These models are totally different.

  • hey miquel are you sure, philips polyfonic ring tones are better than alatel's mp3 ones? you must be nuts!! besides I just found out tha philips changed the Mp camera to a regular VGA one! I really don't think this is a fair comparation... (the alcatel wins obviously)

  • nice phone, im going to buy it, VIDEO FUNCTION, wow, alcatel is shore better than those lower brands, CHEA, PHILIPS, SENDO AND SO ON

  • Hey, Philips are good for television, radios, DVD PLAYER, MP3, and so and so Alcatel doesnt make tv and stuff like, that but what they do make are modums, internet connections and also Computer designs for PACKARD BELL, COMPACTQ, HEWITT PACKARD, also thet make Phones with camera and video funtion aswell as Mp3 Melodies, Philips dont make computers so i think there as good as eachother

  • well miquel, it isnt that nessary that the philips 855 can put photos on tv screen, i mean, what a wast of time, wow, video is a better function, lol, with that phone you need a tv!!!!!!!

  • Hahahahah, you can't compare phones with just the standard info and images. When the phones will come to the market then you can compare them really good. 262K colors, camera with video aren't that neccesary, but nice. I have to admit that. But I bet philips battery life is longer, better polyphonic ringtones, more memory (7MB) and the 855 has the ability to show the pictures on a tv set. And you can't say that the design of alcatel is better. They've improved but the philips 855 design is better, be fair. And there ins't any other clamshell on the european market which can open 180 degrees. Some have tried but they had problems. Philips fixed the problems.

  • I agree bob! there is only one thing wrong, the camera in the philips phone is a MegaPixel one, anyway I still think the alcatel is better

  • lol, your damm rignt there bob, also, if alcatel compared there 756 with the philips 855 it would kick philips ass lol!

  • AS WE COMPARE THESE MOBILES, WE FIRST LOOK AT INTERNAL SCREENS ALCATEL OT 835: 256k colour screen PHILIPS 855: 65k colour screen THEN WE LOOK AT THE EXTERNAL SCREENS ALCATEL OT 835:65k colour external screen PHILIPS 855: 4096 colour external screen THEN WE LOOK AT THE MAIN FEATURES ALCATEL OT 835: - Build-in digital Camera with video - JAVA - WAP 2.0 - T9 - Calculator - Organizer - Polyphonic Melodies - Picture Phone book - Formats: JPG, GIF, PNG, MIDI, WAVE, MMF - Vibration alert - Zoom function - Landscape mode - Joystick - Games + java download - Infra-red - Clock - Alarm - GPRS - Screensavers and wallpapers - Downloadable logos - Messaging: SMS,EMS,MMS - DATA SPEED: 32-48 kbps PHILIPS 855:- Intergrated (VGA) camera - JAVA - WAP 1.2.1 - T9 - Organizer - Calculator - Currency converter - Polyphonic melodies - Infra-red - Alarm - Clock - Vibration Alert - GPRS - Photo Phonebook - Screensavers and wallpapers - Downloadable logos - DATA SPEED: 32-48 kbps - Messaging: SMS, MMS - Games THEN WE LOOK AT HOW MANY NUMBERS THE PHONE CAN HOLD: ALCATEL OT 835: 1000 PHILIPS 855: 500 THEN WE LOOK AT THE DIMENSIONS: ALCATEL OT 835: WEIGHT: 88 GRAMS (with standard battery) DIMENSIONS: 88 x 46 x 20 mm NETWORK: GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 PHILIPS 855: WEIGHT: 91 GRAMS (with standard battery) DIMENSIONS: 85 x 47 x 25 mm (extremly thick) NETWORK: GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 NOW THAT WE HAVE FINISHED, LETS LOOK AT THE INFORMATION AND SEE WHAT PHONE IS BETTER, ALCATEL HAS BETTER AND MORE ADVANCED FEATURES, ALCATEL IS A THINNER PHONE WITH VIDEO FUNCTION, ALSO, ALCATEL HAS A BETTER COLOUR RESALUTION, SO NOW THAT WE HAVE FINISHED, YOUR CAN CLEARLY SEE ALCATEL 835 IS THE BETTER PHONE!

  • portugal, well lets compare phones shell we, himmm, well ALCATEL OT 835 - Built in VGA camera with VIDEO - JAVA - 256k colour screen - external screen, 65k colours - polyphonic ringtones - light weight: 88 grams - DIMENSIONS: 88 x 46 x 20 mm - NOT A BRICK - WAP 2.0 - more attractive design than the ugly philips brick - more memory in phone for pictures, also more external momory - - Formats: : JPG, GIF, PNG, MIDI, WAVE, MMF WANT ME TO GO ON, SEE ALCATEL HAS IMPROVED, AND IS GETTING BETTER BY THE DAY, SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT PHILIPS, THEY ARE A CRAP JAPANEESE BRAND WHO SHOULD QUIT PHONE MAKING AND SHOULD STICK TO TELEVISION!!!!!!!!!

  • let's make it simple: philips 855: internal 65k display external 4096 dislay alcatel ot835 internal 265k display external 65k display... now can you see the diference? besides the 1mp camera, the philips loses! like someone said before, it records videos (the philips doesn't) and it's smaller, plus, in my opinion, it's much more actractive

  • Henrique (also known as PORTUGAL) You really are an idiot aren't you? so philips has an internal 65k color display, alcatel has an 265k one!, philips has a 4096 external display, so what?? alcatel has a 65k color one! alcatel has a VGA camera, but it has video capturing, besides its estimated price is about �250/300, and I dont belive the phillips will be cheaper (about �400), so I really think you screwed when you started to compare these phones, because, if you keep in mind the huge price diference, you will easily see the alcatel is better,

  • lol, and you call this a spetacular phone?? Philips 855 has a 4096 color screen as a second display...Where can i find a alcatel phone with that? And a 1.3 Mega resolution camera? That "unknown" guy only say bad, about the other phones, wich they are better, but he fogets that this alcatel is worse...

  • 262k display+VGA camera for under 400 Euros...wow!

  • very nice !

  • we are wholesaler in new york .Offer me the best price, cif new york.

  • good phone

  • Hey friends check this forum there are pictures for OT 756 and OT835

  • hey, fir5st of all they didnt sell the company, they are trying to look for a partner to join with to keep alcatel mobile running, alcatel will still be in france

  • Alcatel is to sold it's mobile phone division to a Chinese company, because they didn't make profit for a long time. So what are you talking about philips.

  • Menu and icons, make it better tha Sony Ericsson. Sleek, classy and clean

  • This could be the flagship for 2004. Dont disappoint us :)

  • some web pages mention 1000mah Li-po battery. any info? I think the all silver hand set is much more elegant&classy.

  • this phone is one of the best looking phones on the market today, i dont fancy tat z600 from sonyericsson, its way bigger and it has less colour pixels, lol, and it doesnt even have a internal colour screen! ALCATEL ROCKS, SONYERICSSON SUCKS!

  • hey, Does anyone know when this will be avaiable?

  • if the ariel was cut off this phone would be mean as!

  • Real cool. Always been great fans of alcatel for its reception signal.. I think this 835 should get a big boost on its battery considering all those colorful pixels, dont need all those flashy/combo hand set colors,kids can buy kiddies model..keep up the good work

  • this phone is da bomb!

  • what is the different of TFT and CSTN? somebody please tell me.. thanks..

  • why is the ringtone sounds better from other phones compared to the current Alcatel phones?

  • It's compatible with both Samsung (MMF), and Nokia, Siemens (WAVE, MIDI) ringtones.

  • Hope Alcatel will improve the external contour for its final release to make the phone look more solid i.e. Panasonic X700/Samsung E700

  • Can please we have a better view for the pic?

  • to "unknown" (about the ringtones) that's tipical from alcatel phones, I don't know why, but when you listen you can only hear a bit, but if you set it as a ringtone, it will play all the ringtone

  • I'm in love with this phone, but I guess it'll won't be out so soon...

  • The phone is 18mm when closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • are the ringtones format compatible with other phones i.e. Nokia and Samsung? I tried once to copy a ringtone across from Nokia handset, and the ringtone just stopped playing halfway through.

  • No antenna, Please, please, please~

  • How thin is the phone? This is it, Alcatel rocks.

  • Without the antenna, the phone will definitely look more elegant and expensive. I dare to say it will look more elegant than Samsung E700. Alcatel, watch out for your color selection, funky color may not work to attract people for this phone. I just can't wait to get this phone myself. ^_^

  • if u go to this site you will see the phone open, and you will see the keypad
