I got this phone just over a year ago, and at first was very happy with it. It has an MP£ player, 1.3 MP camera, besides other features. At first I really liked the mirrored screen, but this makes it very difficult to see the screen in sunlight. The battery life has always been very poor, having to charge it every night, but now, it is even worse. This did not really bother me as I just charged it whilst I sleapt, but now it does not always charge, even when the charger has been fully plugged in. Another thing, if, on the rare occasions it does fully charge, a message pops up on the screen "Charge Complete." Fair enough, but this then does not let the phone do anything else (eg. alarm going off) until you have pressed ok. This creates a slight problem, and many mornings I have had to rely on something else waking me up. However, it is a nice little phone, with some good features.

i got this fone for christmas last year,and i really did like it-it was quirky,original,and just pretty sweet.
however today i decided enough was enough,and iv agreed to exchange it(it was still within its one year warranty)after months of being unable to read the screen in natural light,it going through phases of switching itself off,the camera failing to take pictures due to an "abnormal operation"being performed(?!),the memory card cutting out every so often and basically it just not being that reliable.
i must admit im quite sad to be getting rid of this fone,but i cudnt put up with all its malfunctions.

If this EF61 was bought in the UK it would have been supplied with standard headphones. To use the radio you need to buy special headphones which has the radio parts built in. Unfortunatly, difficult to find in the UK. Try eBay.

For Kate. The blue cable which is used to charge the phone can be disconnected from the black plug. The standard USB can then be connected to your computer. Firstly, you should load the CD onto your computer [it comes with the phone] - this is mobile phone manager software, for moving music etc.

Don't buy this phone. The radio doesn't work. The battery life is appaling. I have full charge in the mornings and by evening it's totally flat again even if I haven't used it. I only text on it I don't ring out. Also it does freeze and you can't always see who's calling as the display goes off! Wouldn't recommend it at all.

What do you do when you are in a different country and it comes up with "change time sync zone" what do you do?
I clicked yes and it kept on changing the time and date every day. But I think that it is a brilliant phone.

I've had this phone for 2 years now. It's never caused me any problems at all. It's a cute phone and it has the basics of all modern appliances. The camera phone might not be the best but it is good for what it was worth when it was released.
Sometimes when clicking through my files, it does take a few seconds. But that's because the phone is pretty much worn out.
I would recommend this phone, because I've never had any problems with it and the phone is cute, small and nice.

I bought two phones as presents to wife and daughter. My wife loves the phoe for it beauty, low weight, quality of sound, and picture. Of late the camera just popos up photographing at random and therefore interfering with receipt of calls. What is the matter? Please help.
