I love my pink fone Ive had no probs and Id advise anyone to get it. One question though does anyone know how to keep the outer screen display on constantly as its so annoying that it goes blank after a few seconds. pls email me on kara.stevens@winterthur-life.co.uk and let me know. Thanks

I got this phone as an upgrade from Vodafone, I was dead chuffed with it at first and then I started getting the problems many others have mentioned, can't retrieve texts, switches itself off. Whether it is a faulty batch or not I have sent it back and got a different one. The camera on it is rubbish as well, compared to the Motorola I have at the moment.

i love my little pink vk530. yeah its not brilliant for anything otha than taking pics, ringing sum1 or texting but isnt that wat a phone is for. if u want a stylish girly simple phone go 4 it! but if u want internet n ringtones n pics n all the 3g stuff dont get it, but i have had no problems and i love it!!!!!

i have got da vk530 in pink and i love it 2 pieces. but the only fault i got with it is that i have canot read my text messages, everytime i go to open them my phone will automatically go off on its own.i have smashed the front screen on it already and i have only had it for about 2 months, but otherwise its a nice little phone

im on my second vk530 now and i've got my fingers crossed its gonna b ok. there has been a faulty batch which has gone out to ppl as they didnt know which one were faulty and which ones werent. my last vk used to switch itself off constantly and i couldnt get into my inbox as the error message kept coming up. well, i got my new one, its not done ne of those things so far and i hope it doesnt as it really is the cutest fone! however so far, wots buggin me with this fone is that the external screen, the colours are very and faded and the pics i take are sometimes stretched even though ive adjusted the size. other than that, its fine, if it doesnt switch off and allows me to get the inbox im gonna stick with it

Hi,what a nitemare this mobile has been! I started with the VK207 model which kept scrollin through the menus by itself. Vodafone gave me another one and I had the same problems, so that got sent off for the so-called 'software upgrade' that someone else mentioned! After further probs I was given the VK530 model, which I have finally activated for media messaging! I am abl to receive them but for some reason am sendin blank media messages! Can anyone let me know which options to go into to make sure the pics are attached?! Thanks!xxx

Okay girlies... i bought this mobile in the lilac... although i absolutely loved the pink.
Anyway this mobile is not worth it at all!! I tell you what, i've had the phone literally 2 & a half weeks, and its already broke.. The screen went absolutely dark, and messages were fuzzy, so u couldn't even see what profile u were going into.
When i went to pick up my phone yesterday... it was still in repairs.. and coincidently another customer was picking up the same mobile from repairs too (only hers was pink, and it was her 3rd replacement in a period of 4 months).
It is a very unreliable mobile, and i would not recommend it to anyone. Not only does it brake on you, but the battery don't even last a day. I've also had problems with my friends being able 2 get through to me on it. So my advise to anyone who is thinking of buying this phone is, "Although it looks good, it does not at all fulfil the purposes that a mobile phone is supposed to. Don't bother wasting your money!!"

I can't believe the amount of complaints there is about the VK530!!! I bought mine at Christmas and it has never really worked properly! I just accepted that it needed switched off and on numerous times a day. But the last straw was when I couldn't open and read my text messages. When I go to open my inbox the phone switches itself off! Very frustrating! Can't believe I am looking to buy a new phone after only 2 months. Major waste of money! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really want a lilac one but reading all of these reviews has really put me off. I'm not sure what phone I want now. Is this phone really that bad? I might get a samsung E600. Does anyone know much about that?
