    I had this phone for almost 1 year and i wasnt pleased with him
    Is very slow reacting to the menu or when pushing the buttons.
    The signal receiving is poor under nokia and SE
    The sound of the speaker is very poor and lost many calls because of it
    The headset and MP3 very poor qualityy with sound errors - try lo listen ATB or Ozone it's sounds like some abbused cats
    The camera of 2 MP is not great, comparable with a good 1.3 MP camera of a nokia and definitely under the camera of W810i
    The menu is simple. you don't have many options and no possibiliy to download something from the Philips site
    The battery life is good around 5-6 days without listening MP3,and 2 days listening 4 hours of MP3
    compared with SE W810i battery it has no chance. i listened music at SE W810 for 4 hours tryng to depleting the 25% of batery and reset it, and i didn't succeed.
    The quality of the case is very poor and after 6 months looks like device used for 2 years
    I used a 512 MB card and opening it i had to wait around 15 second
    Anyway after 10 months the headset failed
    For me the experience with Philips was ended and i bought an SE W810i which is clearly better. I will never buy philips again

          Have just bought it recently, a month old, and I think its an amazing set. So far only two major problems I have faced are:

          1.) After pressing the "recieve" button it takes a while to connect to the caller. I mean "while" as in very slow. Worst is if its in "vibra-tone" mode, cause then the phone keeps vibrating for a while and then connects.

          2.) A main problem for me is transferring big files to my current 128MB MMC card such as MP3 files (doesn't happen with my SD card however). In connectivity mode the PC or laptop won't recognize the MMC already inserted in the phone, and each time asks to "format" it. So what I have to do is take the card out, put in a card reader and then transfer files. Yeah a bit tough.

          Other than these two no other problems with this phone.

                        I have use this phone for almost a year now. The user interface is quite fast, but not that fast. At first, i thot it was slow, but when I bought the N6101, this one is really slow, it takes almost 2 sec to answer a call!
                        The screen is great, pictures that i have taken with 800x600 are clear and sharp, even with 640x480. Video is not fantastic but good enough. All the functions and tools are good for me, MP3 player is great with the provided earphones though the speaker can be louder. Drawback of the phone, can't do anything when MP3 player is on and it will cut when a call comes in. Bluetooth is not very good, all lot of static, but when you place it stationary, it will be clear, like if you put it in the car kit holder. keypad is losing its sensitivity on some buttons, going to get it change before the warranty runs out. Best Philips phone I have used so far since the Genie. Cheers!

                          I've just tried 1 gb sd card. It works without any problems. But I could not find any headset for it.

                            I have this phone and it is good, not the best one though.It supports MMC cards up to 1GB (i tested TwinMos MMC 1GB) and works perfectly. Don`t know if works the same with SD cards.Pictures are great on high resolution, but on the video side it is not recommended because they are at low FPS and have big pixels.
                            Battery goes up to 4 days (2-3 days with intense usage of mp3 player/camera/flash/talking/games).It is very solid and resistant after i dropped on the stairs and put it back together and it works fine like nothing happened. At this price you cant get anything better.

                                Dear friends, is there anyone who has become able to use GPRS through a Java Software installed in this Phone "Philips 960"? I've installed "Opera-Mini" & "Gmail Mobile Soft" But no way. I can't connect to the GPRS network. But the default browser of this phone acts as usual. I can use GPRS through it. Only one problem is here: whenever i try to check gmail account, it says "The Cookie settings of ur browser is turned off, Pls turn it on". But i don't know how can i turn this on. Moreover, pls give a way to use GPRS via a Java Software. What will be it's Http Profile, i don't know. I only know GPRS settings & it acts normally with the dafault browser. Pls mail me to "join2theone@gmail.com". Thanks

                                    nope, you can't overcome the transfer limit. install games and anything else the way I said before... it stands for about 3 days with the mp3 player, just 1 day with the camera, normal use 4-5 days. you can record longer if you save media on the card ;)
