""I'm from bangladesh. I bought this set. The phone is extremely slow. Its bluetooth and infra red can only transfer files upto 350 kb. The camera is also very slow, so its difficult to take pictures. The picture quality is not much good. Though the sound quality is good, the volume is too low. U can't install most good java applications and if u do it gives "Out of memory signal". I desperately want to sell but no one's willing to buy it despite of it being in superb condition. I've been using it for 5 months and now it has reception problems. Don't be fooled by the companies cheap pricing, Be wise"""
I'm from Romania. Same here. PHILIPS PLEASE STOP MAKING MOBILE PHONES.

I am using this phone for about 10 month. It is a good phone in this price. But i have one problem. I didn't able to use internet in my PC using it and even didn't able to connect it to the pc using bluetooth & mobile phone tools software. I'll be grateful if anyone help me by email or in this forum. Is it possible to use internet on PC using USB cable?

I've found the solution. You'll need a Bluetooth or an Infrared connector instead of USB Cable Connector to use this phone as a GSM Modem in the pc

If the higher version of Opera mini doesnt work in this phone then try Opera mini 2 basic, it works properly.

The info file that for the both syncronising & modem use is the 1 naming USB PC Sync device. This phone doesnt appear as a modem on hardware list unlike the others, it does on the USB devices' list. Then follow my previous instruction. The software asks to copy the phone's GPRS profile while establishing a connection. Otherwise you've to fill in the informations by yourself

I'm using Kingstone 1GB MMC on my phone currently & its working. I learnt from several websites that it supports upto 2GB extended memory. Even if 2GB MMC does not support, try mini-SD & I'm sure it wont be disappointing. Buy Kingstone as the phone suits it the most. For best performance buy Intel MMC cards. If I ever find it supporting 2GB of memory then I'll inform it in here

mr. angle your information was very helpful. I tried the phone as a gsm modem to access internet in my pc. the phone shows all the icons active on its window. but then modem gives a message "modem releasing" and phone not detected. i think the prob comes from inf file configuration. If you can help with anything then let me know that. you can also say how you set up the internet connection. Lots expecting from you :-)

The phone can be used as a PC Webcam with the corresponding option in the phone's connectivity menu. But the *.inf file provided with the installation CD is devoid of the manufacturer's name thats why I couldn't proceed with it's installation. The official website for this phone's support is 'club-philips'

The good thing about this phone is, it supports both SD & MMC of 2GB maximum & got the device inside the case which provides a great security. The camera is weak but in sufficient light it shoots better than any other 2MP camera. In mild light shoot photo at low-resolution (800x600) & the quality will be flawless. It doesnt have 3G but you can run Mig33, Opera etc 3rd parties by locating the APN

To use the phone as a GSM Modem switch on the mobile phone manager, go to the settings & switch on the change modem option. Select 'dont search, I will select it from a list'. From the list select 'Philips 960 infrared/bluetooth' as your modem. Thereafter the faceplate will change & you'll find a new tab for GPRS, click on that & you'll be asked to establish a GPRS connection

You dont need a card reader, if you're using WinXP just use the 'USB drive' instead of 'PC software' in the phone's Connectivity option & the pc will automatically detect it as an USB Mass Storage Device. You'll find your MMC/SD as a removable disc in My Computer
