          My phone does not display the GPRS counters icon (at Call Infomation->Call counters->) but only the GSM counters. Is is normal for phones that has not activated GPRS? Other brands does display GPRS counters regardless whether GPRS was activated or not.

            Can't agreed more. Also hope that the external display will indicate something for SMS/miss call. Or even better, provide option to enable periodic alert for SMS/miss call.

              I hope Philips will correct this random flashes in the next firmware version. I know this phone suppose to save power, but Philips can just use one character ! as an indication for outstanding items instead of larger icons at a more regular and shorter intervals. It would be better if useer can configure the interval they want. This phone is said to be for bussiness people and I think businness people can't afford to miss calls or SMSs in a random manner. I don't think we want to press the side button every minute in a meeting!

                  When there are missed calls or unread SMS, what time interval does the blue OLED flashes? Mine flashes at irregular intervals, like 4 mins then 10 mins. Is this normal or I have to upgrade the firmware? My version is 11.

                    Not sure if the firmware is for all region. ASIA version should be 15 as of 28 Jan 05. Saw the date on the mobile phone tools info when connected to my phone.

                            You can just bring it to your local Philips service centre and request for a firmware upgrade. They will do it for you. No issue.

                                    You can activate the external screen without opening the phone. just press the side key for two seconds and the external screen will light up. Cheers.

                                      I bought philips 650 1 month ago, I have some oppinion:
                                      1. A bit stupid software: SMS not arranged by time, can not download large file from computer, phonebook doesn't have birthday atribute etc...
                                      2. Good battery life but can not active external LCD when it poweroff for saving energy.
                                      3.Nice design
                                      4.Philips doesn't have website for update firmware

                                        I try to download some java apps from zedge.no,using my Philips Xenium9@9c,and wap site.The phone try to connect at http://69.93.61.170/java/apps/1/2.jar and an error occurred,like "there is no app at that address".I try to connect using a regular browse(I.E.),and the app is there.Using a Nokia phone,everything is OK.Anybody figure out how to solve that issue?Thanks!P.S. Compatibility whith zedge apps is good in according with site specifications.
