      All Though the mega pixel isn't much it takes great photos. It'd make a great phone for 8 to nine years old who wants phones and that's a complement. I can say these because I have used this phone!

        28 June 07, just about 10 months the the LCD have to be replace. Then six later 13 November 2008 not working again the company Phoneworx Sdn Bhd, Your repair guy told me that the main board is spoil. How can that be. I have to repair or replace it for rm 250.00. I'm not sure the guy who repairs it is sincere.
        I work very hard for my year 10 exam last year, just to get a phone further more i read up all the specifications regarding this phone PHILIPS 588 and have a very high expectation about this phone but I was wrong.I hope the management could really look into this matter and find out the actual problem. Or maybe i could get a 2nd hand spare parts. IMEI359172000051395. If the management could pls reply me. Thank You.

              Just got this phone and the charger won't charge the battery. Was in a hurry so didn't test it before i bought it. The USB cable won't charge the battery nor will it show a new device on my PC. Now i'm using a modified charger to charge the battery externally. If the charged battery can start the phone, then i will have to bring the phone back to the shop for a refund.

                Hello , I have this phone for about 9 months and It was a "must have" from the minute I saw it . It's very small , elegant and the battery last so long ( 5-7 days). Anyway it has some small problems : during the calls it's very easy to cover by mistake the microphone or camera during the photos ; the photos are slowly loaded for preview , but the quality is very good and also has some other functions where it was nice to have an OK mentioned by ex: when I want to write a message I choose Messageses->SMS->Write Messages ->and the left and right options for TO field are OPtion and Exit , I choose Option->then Contacts -> SElect a contact and then I have to Options : Cancel and EXit ...what about OK ??? So it's strange , but you can use the OK button if you're inspired :)

                      I used this phone for a long quiet time from the 1st its released. I was attractive by the design so cute. The best thing is it has the lady's planner. It is very useful for me. Thanks PHILLIPS!

                        I got this phone as a gift from my bf. But the user manual is in Russian x_x

                        Does anyone know how to edit group settings? I want to put in my family's number into a group but whenever I go to group settings (contacts > advance > group setting), all I get is the option to chose a tiny display picture and to edit the name of the group. How do I add contacts into it?????

                        If anyone can help me, please mail me on gothevanesque@gmail.com

                            A few weeks ago someone gifted me that phone. i really liked it. But as some others say I couldn't connect to the computer. I thought it is a software problem. And searched a lot. Finally i found another driver. and voila. it worked for the philips 588 and also i downloaded lots of java games to try. some of them worked with that phone. And then i thought i can share all things about this phone on a blog. about 3 or 4 days ago i bought my-philips.net domain. And i began to write something about philips products also philips 588 cell phone. If you want to dwnld that usb driver come and take a look at that page.

                                        this is a female phone,too sad.as philips say it cause it has some 'female' functions.
                                        i am a male user,so far no problem but how to put games and songs if the pc synchronise dont work.
