Answer 1

The Alcatel def has a USB port and comes with USB lead - the lead is a mini-usb to usb type. Stick the mini end in ur phone and the usb end in a port on ur PC. when youve connected the 2 go into E801 menu / settings / usb connection / activate. Once youve done this ur PC should annouce a new removeable drive. On XP i think you get a pop up message, on 2000 you simply get a new drive appear in explorer window. add MP3 files to a folder called MP3 on the E801 mem stick - btw Ive bought a 1Gb stick from MyMemory for £15 which works a treat - more songs than the battery can play!



heres more i wrote on crave.cnet.co.uk...



£20 in Woolies - result! - I paid £40 woolies online - damn! Format mem card? - not sure y u wanna do this - but if you to it needs to be connected to PC and visible in explorer window - from there you can right-click the drive (MAKE SURE ITS CORRECT ONE!) and use tools to format - choose the FAT file system - the E801 wont recognise anything else. Memory Size - it will take whatever micro SD you can lay ur hands on - i got 1Gb from mymemory.co.uk - they do up to 2Gb - can you but bigger yet? Mem Cards not formatted? - very unlikely - Ive never bought an unformatted mem card - they work straight out box - Adam - check ur facts! Texting? - simple! - try menu/messages/create - type message - options/send/type number or goto dir to choose and then send - easy! MP3 location - make sure ur MP3's are in a folder called MP3 on ur mem card. let me know if u need anymore help!!
