WRONG PHONE VERSION FOR INDIA

The OT535 is the “Minimalist’s Smartphone” at BASIC-phone price.

Show me another phone with Irda and Speaker phone and Mindblowing Outlook sync at this price ? (In India it costs just Rs. 8200/- or 152 Euro).

One thing it lacks is an email client (with the current GPRS cost and performance in India , it doesn’t matter as GPRS access would bring in more cost and frustration with it). Also it doesn’t have bluetooth, Java and Camera (All avoidable frills in keeping with it’s minimalist, low-cost advantage.)

I got myself an Alcatel OT 535 here in Bangalore (India) from the Bangalore distributors ‘Rajmane Infomedia’. However, on taking the phone home, I was SHOCKED to find that the phone only supported “Nederlands, Francais or Deutsch” for Predictive Text !!!

No ENGLISH predictive text in this country where English is the only European language that everybody speaks ?

Considering that all other brands here are getting head over heels to support even local languages it is a pity that Alcatel phones can come without even the basic language pre-requisite for this country – English predictive text.

I asked the distributors for a replacement but all their OT535s had the same problem. Ultimately the distributors were kind enough to take the phone back and refund me the price.

A pity because otherwise this is an EXCELLENT phone and has the best Organizer/phonebook Irda PC sync + Speaker Phone I have seen.

This phone has no competition in it’s class from any Nokia, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson or Siemens models simply because getting all it’s features in a competitor brand phone costs twice as much.

NO ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE

The other problem I have with Alcatel mobile phones is that inspite of their great price/feature advantage over competitors, the original accessories are not available here – not even with the authorized distributor !!!

The both sux a lot ! The OT535 and Samsung X100.
The Alcatel - its memory disapeared in a flash just 4 days after I bought it and it didn`t wont to start, because it had no sounds!!! After I manadged to Turn it On it happaneds so that I have no GAMES in it because the stuped memory was gone.
About the X100 , it displays false the Call identifyer, when you get a call from Niki it displays Michael , When you get call from Sisi it displays Simon and so on ...

A think in this class the winner is Siemens M55 !

Yes, 332 can download poly tones. 535's MMS is compatible with every other MMS phone.

a bit large, the shape is 'love-it-or-hate-it' (i hate it), games are horrible, the screen is poorly lit and dissapointing (with the display that large it's dissapointing to have only 4k color when other phones offer 65k color), but overall it's a great phone, solid build quality, can record own ringtones, love the crazy sounds, and lots other 'fun' features.

it has 24-tone polyphony, while T310 has 32. of course it's a bit better.

Yeah!!! This phone is really good! I bought it a month ago. It's almost perfect. The display is fantabolous, the features, and all... Wow! This is probably the best in its class!
But...! I think the sound (MIDI) isn't really good. T310 is better.
But that's OK, I guess! Nothing's perfect except God. Hmm???

Is it possible to ajust OT535 to report calls(more than 1) from the same tel.No as different cals (or to report how many times this No calls me?)
I tested one. I make 3 calls, but OT535 reports just 1 missed call(the time was from the last one ).
