ive had this phone for about a year now and i cant wait to get a new one!!!!

The camera quality is the worst on any phone if seen, all the colour is taken out of any picture taken. 9 times out of 10 the phone fails to turn on, it takes about 3 times to turn it on and i havent dropped it once!!!!

The OK button and stick stopped to work right after a year. Now I canīt access menu nor agenda without having it pressed for a couple of seconds.

I would not advise anyone to buy this phone
1. It will break if you slightly drop it
2. After a while the 'Ok' button decides it wants to be the up button
3. The charger is easily broken and you will have to buy a new one

I feel sorry for anyone who has bought this too!

Get a landline.Buy this phone if you're nuts.The joystick gets worked up after a day.Then the phone freezes then falls apart.Better off phoneless.

It's been reasonbly good but it has very little memory, the joystick in the middle is tricky to use and the cone in speaker has broken on mine and i've only had it for a year and a half. I was also annoyed about the fact that there are no accessories for this phone. but to be fair the camera is quite good and they are cheap.

this phone is crap. it freezes and doesnt stop vibrating when you get a call. the joystick doesnt work so i cannot do anything like texting. dont buy it. i'd rather use payphones.

This is a sad phone... six months of usage and joy stick is gone for a toss . Navigation is tough and really sad is not the phone. My advice is not to buy if any one is looking forward to purchase

I had this phone last two months of this year (2005) and it has given me a whole lot of problems.first it freezes whenever a try to make a call.IT restarts again and again and finally switches off.secondly the menu key normally gets stuck and unable to move.Lastly i have no cord to download.I have got no phone now and i wish you can send me a different type of the came brand since i like using philips gargets.

hi
i bought this phone last year in Oct. but felt very disappointed with the features it is not having.
this phone is not good at all. i cannot download ringtones/wall papers. there is no data cable provided with the phone, and no other means of getting the print for the photos taken by the camera. the picture quality is also not good.
the battery backup is also not good. need to recharge it everyday.
the joystick is not functioning properly and the phone hangs up sometimes.
the only thing which i found good in this phone are the buttons and a big screen compared to other phones.
if anyone finds a place where i can get the data cable for this phone pls tell me.

This phone is of absolute no use. One big crap designed as a phone. No proper battery backup. No composer. Sometimes, the keys get stuck and there is a serious software problem in the phone. This phone hangs once in a while while switching it on. Please do not buy this phone. You will waste your money. I am trying to get the manufacturer details to bash him.
