Had this phone for 2 years until I lost it. The only problems I encountered were 1) very poor reception and 2) sometimes when I change my ring style to vibration, vibration with melody, or melody, the phone would freeze and continuously play my ringtone until I removed the battery.

For such a cute, fragile looking phone, it actually is quite durable. I've dropped it numerous times on concrete, tiled floors and grass and it still functioned properly (besides reception & freezing).

Its a very cute statement phone but the only problem I had with it is that the signal isn't very good. If you hold the phone closer to the antenna the signal is very bad. Other than that it is so awesome (I've had this for 2 years now)

FOR ALL OF YOU WHOSE X830 HAS STOPPED PLAYING MP3 FILES, PICTURES ETC... HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
Hard reset your phone, type in *2767*6263#

- after typing it phone will turn off/ after turning it on everythings works!!!! I did it yesterday with mine! Note: this will reset EVERYTHING on your phone and delete items stored on your phone (i.e. music, pictures, sounds, etc). - but not items on simcard! All the settings will be restored to factory setting (ringtones, wallpapers etc.) but nevermind... the phone works again:-) ! GOOD LUCK!

hey ya,
i also got this phone at a very expensive price, i must admit i loved it to bits, the size and not to mention the memory capacity but unfortunately after 6 months i was trying to download a song from the internet then it just froze and gave up on me, took it back to the dealer only to be told it was beyond repair.
so please be careful

I have this phone. And when I first got it, I could get Mxit. Then it disappeared. Now when I try to get Mxit again it says "unsupported file format" Not too sure why it's doing this now. Anyone know the answer?

this phone is eye-candy, im hunting for it but most shops are telling me that it has been phased out. How does someone phase out such a piece of art!!
