Hello!! I'm now on my third one of these phones. /all have been purchased 2nd hand. The phone design is aging by the stds that you can purchase now but the NEC design is just simply great! It's a well posey little number that everyone who sees it in my hand comments on... The only negative from me is the battery life but i guess it would be less asit's so slim. If you want a 'no-gimmic' phone that looks smart, this is the one. You can also buy them at a good price these days.. Cheers!!

How much well this phone holds a network? How well it transfers speech?

Ive had the phone for over a year now and I think I can give a fair review. The feature set is very nice for a phone of this size and the construction (made in Japan) is high quality materials. Due to the small battery capcity you will likely need to charge the battery every night, which is the worst thing about this phone. The bluetooth performance is also somewhat slow compared to my girlfriends N73. Also, while the camera resolution is much higher than the V3 the lens quality is only so-so, so optimal images require perfect conditions. The phone is pretty customizable and personally I find the interface to be very intuitive and easy to use. As a basic phone this one is tough to beat in the slim flip category. Its aged a bit though, but this market seems to have been abandoned so at current street prices it is still worthy of consideration.

The adapter for my NEC L1 recently broke and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up a new one.

I cant find one locally and no one seems to sell it online.

Thanks

I have NECe949 Ultra Thin Mobile(silver) for almost eight months now (october 2006) but till date I cannot make use of the bluetooth and the WAP because no body can configure it (NEC e949) and indeed all NEC phones here in Nigeria. Is NEC phones built for European countries alone? Where can I configure my nec phone in Nigeria? I LOVE my NEC e949 phone and people infact envy me for that. Also make this phone (NEC e949) available in Nigeria because many of those who have seen the phone want to have theirs also. Your reply is highly expected.

I need help with an Li to work with my T-mobile network. It is always saying searching for network. What do I need to do since might have been designed for the Asian market. Thanks anyone for your help.
