I think its an ok phone, but what do you expect from a phone that cheap? its not as if its going to be as good as an iphone. if you want something better just spend a bit more. its good for the price it is and its easy to use. if should say something though the screen is quite poor quality and so is the camera

This phone is not the best phone in the world, but yo can get used to it and actually like it.
On the negative side it is slow and the camera is not that good, but this is as much to do with the display, if you send the pics to another phone to use a cable to print, the pictures are actually better than you think but since you are not provided with a cable this is a tedious way to do things.
On the positive side, the sound is good and the phone feels good to use, slim and nice feel.

A major fault is the predictive texting has a deep red background and you cant see very well what you are typing using predictive text.

Its says 2 years replacement warranty, but when u go their store, they make you cry for it. PLS PLS DO NOT BUY THIS. VODAFONE SELLING JUNK IN THE MARKET.

This Phone really Sucks. Seems Voda is always out in market looking for junks and dump it on customers. My simple suggestion: If you have less money, stay without mobile, or get a basic mobile, but dont buy this stupid phone. If you have enough money to spend, dont spend it on this phone, rather, donate that money to charities. This phone is just a dumb brick. slow on memory response, slow on Bluetooth, low ringers, poor dissplay contrast. Typical SAGEM (Always born with defects).

never buy this phone.it has common manufacturer error.it switches off from the network at uneven time but the phone is on. so you dont know when it is switches off from the network.only when somebody inform you directly you came to know it switched off from the network.then you have to restart the phone then it will be ok but again the problem starts which you cannot find.to my knowledge it is model design mistake which cannot be rectified.it has 2 year replacement warranty.but if u get the replace mobile, it will also have the same problem.anyone have doubt can email me at pv.binoy@rediffmail.com

Oh and one more thing.....to take off the back easier, don't do it from the bottom. Above the camera on the corner, just lift it up :)

My opinion on this phone is that it is good for its price. Slow performance, but other then that, its very simple to use.

I have encountered no problems with this phone, except two things.
When someone sends me anything by blue-tooth, it doesn't ask me to save. And the SIM card is very hard to take out. I haven't managed to take it out yet.

The battery lasts a good 4 days for me (2 days when i play music about 4hrs a day)
Max 4gb Memory card makes up for the 8.26mb phone memory.

For some people's problems.
- For an Micro-SD card (To transfer Files) you will have to by a Micro-SD Kit. You use the usb from the kit, to put files onto the SD card. Then insert the SD card into the phone

- Some people ring tones are incredibly low, I managed to fix this. Go to your menu, then entertainment (or press the right button), and go to music player. Press up to put the sound up or down to put the sound down. This also increases the ring-tone volume.
- I bought my 527 from Argos, it came with a charger and Earphones. I just use my Micro-SD card kit to get files :)

Hope I helped

Oh And You Cant Record Videos on This Phone. I Am Going to buy a new one in about 1 month and a half :D
