How could it's camera be so poor. 2MP does not really mean anything....I am sure its camera can not ever produce the wallpaper which comes as default...isn't it cheating?
I am not going to recommend anyone to buy this (master of none) phone.

Scandor,
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it very much.
The foremost reason why I would buy a cellphone is its batt life. I hate charging every other day like most of the brands and bringing charger if you'l go away for a couple of days. I have waited long for the 960 but was dissappointed by its batt performance. My distributor have replaced my unit twice in a row already but the batt life is nowhere near around what is written in the tech spec/manual reason why I'm looking for an upgrade. I'm even contemplating to downgrade to Xenium 9@9a but it's nowhere to be seen here in PI also.
I look forward to your next update.
Regards,
George

I didn't buy it yet. I read all your comments. But I think, one should not buy a phone with so much controversial comments from the users. True, it is cheap for all the specifications that it offers. But I think it's better to be deprived from the gain than to have a constant headache with it.
Take Care.

Dear Georges: this model is not yet available in the philippines. I just got a demo unit to try it out. I can't say yet that its an upgrade to the 960. Will advise you in a later stage. It certainly has much bigger screen, saves pictures faster, works flawless, has much louder mp3 through the speaker boxes (2) than the 960. But batterylife is less than of 960.
Regarding phonebook, i can't see anything wrong with it. i also copied it from my sim, and all is perfectly well in alphabetical order. 1000 entries and very easy to find the name you need through 'search'. Certainly this phones works a bit different, therefore : READ YOUR MANUAL !!!

I bought S900 for its features. However, after one week of using it, I regret my purchase.
The phonebook is a mess to work with until u download yr sim card phonebook. Yr nightmare begins. First of all, if u key in new contact via the phone, yr new contact does not arrange in alphabetical order. This is as good as nothing bcos u hv to search for it instead of scrolling thru the alphabet. In times, there will a duplication of contact. U will find the same contact from SIM and Phone appears on phonebook. It will be worst if yr fren insert his Sim and yr phonebook will be crowded with his contacts as well.
U could not save missed calls in yr phonebook by a click too.
Secondly, the phone turn off by itself. And not to mention short battery life, 710mAh.
I bought it from AD. Brought back to AD for service, they claimed they were not trained to service the phone and give me another number to call. I received the same reply from the another number as well. I wrote an email to Philips, received a call from them but "TALK NO ACTION". The guys agreed to call back but found missing in action.
I would rather trade in and buy a new phone. Philips is the worst phone that I have ever used. Bad in terms of product and customer service.

I was looking for value and bought s900 regardless of brand. The major letdown of this phone is the basic phonebook. The essential phonebook does not arrange your contacts in alphabetical order and erases contacts. It mess up your SIM and phone entries. This is a nightmare for me.
Secondly, u can forget about hand writing input. Using the virtual keyboard is much faster. Chinese hand writing recognition is very good tho. User interface is responsive. Speaker is good. Battery life sucks. Service centre also sucks.
Reception wise is loud and clear. Screen is beautiful. For those like me who use touch screen the first time, using one hand to on this phone is impossible! Unless Philips improve on the phonebook, otherwise i will be getting K750i soon.

Does anyone know, if I can get Microsoft Outlook or if I can syncronize this phone with my computer and use it like a PDA?
Thanks.

Hi to NIRW,
you can't see the image because the image size is different. it has to be exactly 170x220.
So it's best to crop the images to the right size before you upload it to the Philips phone
