Phone freezes alot. Very slow texting you have to wait for the phone to catch up with you.

Very pretty, but terrible, tbh.

I agree with the fact that in daylight you cant read the screen when someone rings me they cant hear me because the reception on this phone is soo poor dont but it i used to love it but now im getting a new phone because this has so many faults

I was thinking of getting this phone from woolworths, but it seems like everyone is cutting in down so am abit 50-50 on the situation. I have bought a phone from woolworths before which was the samsung s401i and I completely hate it. I have serched this cell phone and it says that it has video but many people have said other wise. The most important thing is... does it set mp3`s as ringtones, thats may main concern because I cant do that on the phone I have now. If there are any other downfalls about the phone or even good things about it I would really like to know.

Hi paul

Although i no longer have the phone, i encountered the same problem with it before it completely broke down on me. When i contacted the customer services helpline about the "operation abnormal" messgae with the camera they told me to take out the memory card and buy a new one. true this will make the camer function properly again but this will only last a month at the most before it breaks again.
You are better off getting a new phone, trust me.

Hi

I've encountered the same problem with my Siemenns EF61 when taking photos i.e. "Operation Abnormal - Please re-try". Did you manage to find out the reason and more importantly, how to fix this problem.

Your response will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Paul

My Mia is absolutely fabulous.
The only thing that lets the phone down is that new words added to the T9 dictionary do not stay in the phone when you turn the phone off so you have to enter them again when creating an sms or mms.
Only answer would be to leave the phone on forever and keep charging it.
Otherwise i give the phone a thumbs up for reliability.

I got this phone as a birthday present in december 2006 and by february 2007 it was broken. the problems i had with the phone again regarded the phone losing connection with the additional MicroSD card. I had major problems with returning the phone but finally won my case against the siemens customer services line and was granted a full refund by woolworths. as a warning to mobile phone users across the globe- FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!! it will cause you nothing but stress and anxiety. I am now searching for a new phone so if anyone has any recommendations i would be most grateful.
Thankyou
