Narrative:

Departed gate on time. Normal taxi with no abnormal brake indications noted. The captain had briefed an abort in the low speed regime for anything prior to departure. We were cleared for takeoff and the controls were transferred to me as we lined up and I applied flex take off power. At approximately 75 KTS; an ECAM and master caution light came on. I looked down briefly and saw 'brakes hot' ECAM. At the same time; the captain announced; 'aborting' and retarded the power levers to idle. Rejected takeoff braking was engaged and the aircraft quickly came to a stop. The captain was unable to disengage the autobrakes with the brake pedals and had to de-select the autobrake switch. I advised ATC when the abort began and the captain announced 'remain seated' on the PA as the aircraft came to a stop. We exited the runway and requested the emergency equipment to come to inspect our brakes. We were given taxi instructions to cross runway xx and enter the xx hold pad. The captain held the brakes and we shut down the engines. The fire department inspected the brakes and their readings concurred with our indicated brake temperatures; which peaked at 605 C on the #1 brake and was above 500 C on the others. We talked to dispatch on and patched through to maintenance. After the brakes had cooled we arranged for a gate to return to and taxied back to a gate with the fire department following. At the gate; we had the aircraft chocked and turned the aircraft over to maintenance for inspection. We were given another aircraft and continued the flight uneventfully. I don't believe significant human factors were involved.

Title: An A320 ECAM alerted 'BRAKES HOT' at 75 KTS on the takeoff roll so the Captain rejected the takeoff and requested ARFF inspection before taxiing to the gate. Flight Attendants stated that cabin crew procedures are different from flight crew's.
