    well...when i got this phone it was perfect gorgeous phone for a girl,very stylish case,and matching sky blue earphones, mirror is great, bluetooths good, cameras quite clear, cool screensavers tht come with it and stuff like that so overall a good phone but it has a few bad points but nothing major,... the blue paint chips soo easily!, it comes with no games apart from beauty tips but that is noo way to do with games is it?...i got bored with it soo easily though! but overall i do recomend it to a not so clumbsey person like me who drops it causeing it to chip the paint! :]]

      Well... I got this phone for my 13th birthday which was 1 year ago and at first i loved it! The girly design was totally my style and the mirror was perfect as i was quite vain... About two months later I experienced my first round of difficulties: The phone kept turning off when i tried to change the theme and then the mirror kept randomly turning on when i was in the middle of texting or something... then around 5 months after that my memory card just stopped working and my phone was going crazy!! (But that was probably because i spilled water on it)
      and now im gettin a new phone coz i recently lost that one...
      I would recommend this phone to carful people. hehe

        Mika I thought that as well just click any key and the screen will pop up again. Do not worry but it is a pain!

          I am sorry to say that this is the worst phone ever! If you want a decent phone to do lots of things on it then this is certainly not the phone for you! The camera is rubbish, no games, you can only save the maximum of 8 or 9 texts and the memory is not very good. I ave had this phone since May and I really don't like it! DO NOT BUY!! Also the text alerts aren't good. If you just want to send and recieve calls and texts then this is proabably an okay phone but if you want to use it for any more than that then DO NOT BUY!!! Hope it helps x

              I got this phone just over a year ago, and at first was very happy with it. It has an MP£ player, 1.3 MP camera, besides other features. At first I really liked the mirrored screen, but this makes it very difficult to see the screen in sunlight. The battery life has always been very poor, having to charge it every night, but now, it is even worse. This did not really bother me as I just charged it whilst I sleapt, but now it does not always charge, even when the charger has been fully plugged in. Another thing, if, on the rare occasions it does fully charge, a message pops up on the screen "Charge Complete." Fair enough, but this then does not let the phone do anything else (eg. alarm going off) until you have pressed ok. This creates a slight problem, and many mornings I have had to rely on something else waking me up. However, it is a nice little phone, with some good features.

                  i got this fone for christmas last year,and i really did like it-it was quirky,original,and just pretty sweet.
                  however today i decided enough was enough,and iv agreed to exchange it(it was still within its one year warranty)after months of being unable to read the screen in natural light,it going through phases of switching itself off,the camera failing to take pictures due to an "abnormal operation"being performed(?!),the memory card cutting out every so often and basically it just not being that reliable.
                  i must admit im quite sad to be getting rid of this fone,but i cudnt put up with all its malfunctions.

                        If this EF61 was bought in the UK it would have been supplied with standard headphones. To use the radio you need to buy special headphones which has the radio parts built in. Unfortunatly, difficult to find in the UK. Try eBay.

                          For Kate. The blue cable which is used to charge the phone can be disconnected from the black plug. The standard USB can then be connected to your computer. Firstly, you should load the CD onto your computer [it comes with the phone] - this is mobile phone manager software, for moving music etc.

                            Don't buy this phone. The radio doesn't work. The battery life is appaling. I have full charge in the mornings and by evening it's totally flat again even if I haven't used it. I only text on it I don't ring out. Also it does freeze and you can't always see who's calling as the display goes off! Wouldn't recommend it at all.

                                  What do you do when you are in a different country and it comes up with "change time sync zone" what do you do?

                                  I clicked yes and it kept on changing the time and date every day. But I think that it is a brilliant phone.
