bought this in december 2004... as of july 2005, it is currently broken. i'm now in the process of finding a new phone.

it was fun while it lasted, but some things i didn't like about it include it's speed, battery life, and ear piece. The phone had a terriblely slow response when pusing buttons, the battery lasted long in the beginning, true to the 2hr talk time, but after a few charges, it started to decrease. last time i used it, the battery lasted only 30 or so mins and i had to recharge it daily even when only in standby. The earpiece would not work. The plug on the phone sucks and never worked properly from the start.

the one good thing about this phone was the reception. one of the best when the phone worked.

things that broke:
backlight does not turn on
has a poor time finding a carrier
terrible battery life
charger port is very flimsy and does not stick to the phone well


recommendations: don't waste your money on this unless you plan to take extream care when handeling. took a few light drops, but it's dead now. Not nearly as durable as a nokia.

If you're going for looks, yes, this is the phone to get. It's cute and small. It's user friendly, and has the basic features that all phones have. One major problem about it is the volume of the other party when using the phone. It's hard to hear, even if you set it at the loudest. Basically to enjoy a normal conversation, you would need an environment to be complete silence. I found it quite annoying, I am no longer using it.

I bought this phone when it very first came out. Ever since then, I have purchased 2 more for my friends. I love the phone and like everything about it. It could use a few more colors but even at the amount of colors it has, it is pretty clear. I think it is very unique and always an eyecatcher. Have not had any of my 3 phones freeze up and have not had problems with battery life. I did at first have difficulties with the WAP configuration but figured it all out with the aid of my cellular provider, AT&T and Cingular. Definitely would recommend to people who want a unique phone with a small price tag. Doesn't have the top-of-the-line features, but you can't expect to get the best phone for under $100.

I just got the G51. The silver one. Does it really have a really bad battery life and will it freeze easily? Please help because I only have 2 weeks to return it and I don't want to buy the wrong phone.

Thanks Guys & Gurls!

I work for a wireless provider and anytime it requests a puk code you have to go down to the carrier and have them unlock it for you. They need the # of your sim card in order to do it! either that or get a new sim. Sometimes this will happen when you enter too many of the wrong passwords.

The phone looks great, and I love the lighted keypad! Recently I was playing around with my phone and I set a PIN for it. After setting the PIN, it asked me for the PUK. Now since I've set a PIN for my phone, everytime I turn it on it asks for the PIN, then the PUK. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT "PUK" STANDS FOR? I never set any PUK number. PLEASE HELP AS I can't turn on my phone anymore!!! :(
Thank u so much!!!

Hi, Nice little phone, does the job.
Got it unlocked for US with T-mobile SIM. Works a charm EXCEPT I can only ever get Cingular roaming. I have selected the right frequency band, but it never goes over to T-mobile. T-mobile support can even pick up the IMEI but it never registers.
Someone mentioned, that they got it working with T-mobile after changing some factory settings. Can you please post these. Thanks
