I bought one of these yesterday. I thought it was per-owned ("used") but if so, not enough to show in any way! I immediately had my mobile phone provider disable Internet (which I have at home on my computer). The phone came with a stupid wallpaper background which I changed to something pleasant, artistic and non-distracting. It took a while to get used to the OS, esp. when writing SMS's (my main use of the phone), but their system is in the end clear, simple and functional, just different from what I was used to.
Having read the above complaints about the speaker, I was at first very annoyed at the difficulty of hearing during calls. However, a quick look at the first picture in the PDF manual showed that the speaker is in the BACK, which is really quite logical when you think about it! (keeps the screen clean, etc.). And the sound from the FM radio is more than I would expect.
As such, when simply turning the phone around, the sound when phoning is fine .... and I really love this very practical phone. For the record, I use Skype on my computer when I need to make important long calls; i.e., this phone is no substitute for my high-end HP laptop, but perfect for my needs as a mobile phone. And much easier to transport in my pocket.

Having just bought a Nokia 800 Tough I can tell you from bitter experience that the E241S
is a real piece of JUNK...do not buy this at ANY price...utterly useless !

If you really want a quality Kai OS phone then go for NOKIA.

I was ordered this phone from amazon.uk and waited for 1 month to ship from UK to VN but this is really, really, really disappointed, this is waste phone. Cannot hear anything when making call, a basic but important feature of the phone but it's so terrible.

Finally gave up on this phone. The vendor was more than helpful but the French distributor was NOT ! The speaker in the earpiece was as effective as a chocolate fireguard. Having tried and returned both I have given up and will wait for the Nokia 800 Tough.

Another day on the E241S. I really doubt that battery life is as much as stated. After one day from full charged it is now down to about 45%. I have made a few calls and four or five whatsapp messages. Earpiece speaker problem is still unresolved.As a telephone which is its prime objective;at present the phone fails admirably !

I also have just bought one of these phones as I was informed that I needed whatsapp (!)
I am a pensioner (73) and felt unable to either want, operate or own a smartphone so I settled for the Energizer E241S. Whilst the keypad is very similar to my Nokia 3310 the operating system IS NOT. It is confusing to say the least ! The speaker in the earpiece is verging on useless and the sound is muffled, crackly and low volume. I have mentioned this to Energizer in France who at present seem somewhat disinterested and have referred my to SBE a UK based repair centre. On the basis of that I have declined to send it to them.

Just bought this phone, and while it's great overall, the main problem is the shit speaker. Other than this, OK.

Does anyone know where I can purchase this phone? I am in the US, but I think the LTE bands should still work here.

You (GSM Arena) state in the specifications that Whatsapp available. I very much doubt it as only the Jio Phones have this app at present. No other KaiOS phones have.
