Just got this phone and the charger won't charge the battery. Was in a hurry so didn't test it before i bought it. The USB cable won't charge the battery nor will it show a new device on my PC. Now i'm using a modified charger to charge the battery externally. If the charged battery can start the phone, then i will have to bring the phone back to the shop for a refund.

Hello , I have this phone for about 9 months and It was a "must have" from the minute I saw it . It's very small , elegant and the battery last so long ( 5-7 days). Anyway it has some small problems : during the calls it's very easy to cover by mistake the microphone or camera during the photos ; the photos are slowly loaded for preview , but the quality is very good and also has some other functions where it was nice to have an OK mentioned by ex: when I want to write a message I choose Messageses->SMS->Write Messages ->and the left and right options for TO field are OPtion and Exit , I choose Option->then Contacts -> SElect a contact and then I have to Options : Cancel and EXit ...what about OK ??? So it's strange , but you can use the OK button if you're inspired :)

I used this phone for a long quiet time from the 1st its released. I was attractive by the design so cute. The best thing is it has the lady's planner. It is very useful for me. Thanks PHILLIPS!

I got this phone as a gift from my bf. But the user manual is in Russian x_x

Does anyone know how to edit group settings? I want to put in my family's number into a group but whenever I go to group settings (contacts > advance > group setting), all I get is the option to chose a tiny display picture and to edit the name of the group. How do I add contacts into it?????

If anyone can help me, please mail me on gothevanesque@gmail.com

A few weeks ago someone gifted me that phone. i really liked it. But as some others say I couldn't connect to the computer. I thought it is a software problem. And searched a lot. Finally i found another driver. and voila. it worked for the philips 588 and also i downloaded lots of java games to try. some of them worked with that phone. And then i thought i can share all things about this phone on a blog. about 3 or 4 days ago i bought my-philips.net domain. And i began to write something about philips products also philips 588 cell phone. If you want to dwnld that usb driver come and take a look at that page.
