I'm so glad I've found this page. I've had the X1 for over a year. When I bought it I thought it was great - easy to use, looked the business etc etc. Then I started to experience problems with the screen freezing and switching itself off. I took it to O2 who sent it away for repairs, and promised me it would work properly. Within 5 minutes of walking out of the shop, the same thing happened again! They sent it away again, and this time they changed the entire phone. But yet again, the same problems! I've given up with the thing now and am changing it. What's really miffed me off is the fact I've got #25 of credit on the phone, but cannot use it. I won't ever ever buy an O2 phone, or use O2 network again - they're complete cowboys! If you know what's good for you, avoid this phone like the plage - it's useless.

This is by far the worst phone on the market. Texting takes an age to do because the predictive text has the writing speed of a five year old and any text the user puts in for phone to remember is lost whenever the phone is turned off! The phone crashs more frequently than windows and that takes some doing!! The camera is terrible, the pictures look like they were taken underwater!!

This phone has major manufactoring faults which showed up after about three months and despite having sent it back twice were still not fixed. If ur looking to buy this phone..DONT. Get the K700i instead which is what I did. The X1 randomly freezes and shuts down- writing a text is slow and VERY frustrating- the video recorder doesn't play inreal time but speeds up..alot and the camera simply isnt anything to write home about. NO flash unlike the k700. The only thing that this phone has over the k700 is battery life..and lets be honest all you have to do is charge ur phone up FULLY (12 hrs recommended) for the first time, let it run down to empty and ur away this vastly improves ur battery life. simple and worth it. Once again..DO NOT BUY the X1!!!

Anyone who has a working one of these things is either extremely extremely lucky or is lying because they work for O2 building the things or something. It has little or no Java compatibility despite 'JAVA' being listed in the features. It does freeze very often. The buttons are very unresponsive. It deletes games for semmingly no reason, even the ones it comes with disappear after a bit of use and cannot be re-downloaded. It also has no real way of transferring the pictures out of the phones small 2MB memory. On the surface it looks fairly feature packed for a phone of its generation but within an hour of using it you're almost certain to wish you chose a different handset. I am told it's great for banging in nails or smashing open coconuts when a hammer can't be found though!

I bought this phone around 8 months ago and within 6 months of purchase It had already started freezing and turning itself off occasionally. This grew more constant, but did work now and again.Then i found my sound didnt work and so I couldnt hear it ring. So i had it on slient mostly and it wouldnt stop randomely vibrating and when it was on "manner mode" the lights on the front constantly flashed red,yellow and green. Then shortly after my games had disappeared,and my phone wouldnt turn off, but froze whilst saying goodbye! A couple of weeks ago the slient vibrate mode stopped working as well. I sent it to be repaired and I when I was in the shop the woman had told me that 3 other people that day had brought the same phone back and reading the reviews other people have found the same problems. If you are reading this and thinking about buying this phone, dont.

I have had the phone a while now and have had very few problems with it. I think you either get a good O2 X1 or a bad O2 X1 and I've got one of the good ones. The only problem I have is answering calls first time but I think you just have to hold the green button down and that works. My one barely crashes and I haven't lost any games or ringtones and they were simple to download. I DO HOWEVER need help with a question. Is there any way of getting the pictures on the phone onto a pc? There is a socket hidden at the top of the phone by the arial, is this where you can plug a wire in to which links to a pc? OR can you e-mail the pictures from the phone to the pc? I would be grateful for any help? My E-mail is mark_h_w@hotmail.com THANKS!

Had problems tryn to get this fone to start with, it seemed pretty gud first few days, then started to freeze and not receive or send txt messeges. For the price I dont think this phone is a gud buy as you cud buy a cheaper fone that wouldnt mess up on u with practically all the same features. I have to give O2 credit tho, the pictures and the video screen r amazing. But everything else ........ so 2 sum up....... Gud features =>outside decor => Screen (video and picture are excellent!) Bad Features => Screen Freezes => Cannot receive or send txt messeges ocasionally. => Only can store 10 txt messeges (irritating to say the least!) Well that is only three downfalls BUT they r pretty major factors against the fone as you buy a fone to txt and make fone calls, so O2 insted of spendin time on the fones "make-up" spend more time on the important features! My fone started to get no signal for 4weeks (so ther must b something wrong there!).....so I sent it off for repair and am patiently waiting for it as I have no fone..... :( Thanx O2!

Got it in February, my wife uses it, not really worried about all the bells and whistles, just wanted a straight forward reliable phone. It fails on both counts. The user interface is very poor compared to, say, the Nokia (I have a 6230 which is far superior and easier to understand). The four "soft" buttons seem to swap randomly as to their use. Texting interface is not great (though have to admit I'm not an expert). Most disappointing is the reliability. The standard freeze/switching itself off faults were few and far between at first but gradually got worse, and it became unusable around mid June. It's being "repaired" now but reading the reviews here my hopes are not high. Basically, avoid this phone!!

have to say, i haven't had a single problem with this phone. yes, it turned of a couple of times but that's coz i was messing about with it and doing things i probably shouldn't have been. it looks wicked cool, and because this is my first mobile, i have had not problems adjusting to it. i personally find it very easy to navigate, though i sometimes forget where a certain thing is located. the pictures it taked are great quality, but i think my cats are getting sick of me aiming it at them all the time.... i have a question. how do i set downloaded pics as wallpapers? they are currently stored in the Push Inbox but i don't know where to go from there. sadly, the handbook is utterly utterly hopeless.

My son bought one of these phones that subsequently developed a fault within 2 weeks. He took it back to the shop where it was purchased and received a replacement phone that developed the same fault within 6 weeks (some improvement I suppose). The fault is that the screen freezes up rendering the phone unuseable. I only gave this phone a rating of 1 because a 0 was not available.

Hope lots of o2-x1 (experienced) users read this, as too many people I could e-mail for advice!. I got this phone pre-Xmas 2003 and I'm sure the phone does much more than I realise even now. However, I finally enquired yesterday in an o2 shop as to how I transfer photos I've taken on my phone to my pc and was told you simly e-mail it to yourself!. I was amazed at how simple it was BUT 24hrs later from e-mailing it, I have still not got it. Trying to get some help and advice from o2, whether it be through all the phone numbers they give you, the website or by e-mailing gets you absolutley no where!!!, you either get told to ring another number or you just get cut off!! I also wanted to enquire as to why I am able to download ring tones but my phone won't let me download wallpapers or text tones. The phone itself I am pleased with (millions time better than last one!) BUT yes, it does occasionally 'freeze', I find, if you are texting too quickly. There are a number of tunes but not all that! All in all, a pretty phone!, quite impressive but you need to really understand it yourself or have a smart friend! Biggest annoyance is not getting any help or enough instructions from O2!! If anyone wants to e-mail me with much needed help, please do! at chantelle.newcombe@btinternet.com

It's ok. It looks good, the camera is fine and if you can live with being tied to O2 for everything then its a pretty good choice, except for one thing: It cant store texts! :/ They are saved to the SIM, which in my case has just 10 slots. How stupid is that? The handset has 2mb of memory for photos, and not a single byte for message storing! Grr. I'm taking mine back simply because of this, but if you dont feel the need to have texts stored then I can recomend this phone.

I only recently worked out how to send photos to other people so I\'m happy about that,but, when I recieved a text message the other day I found that because my phone was open and I clicked ok to read the message, the message disappeared!! So I did the usual things like, turn it off, take the sim card out but still no message, but it still has the little envelope on the main screen and it annoys me everytime I look at my phone cause I think I have a message, when I dont!!!! So is there anyone who knows how to get rid of this envelope or will i have to wait until the message comes through even though I have been waiting a whole day now!

I would give this fone 9/10. The reason for this is that it is small, compact and has possibly all the features you would expect from a mobile of it\'s price. Only downside is that it lacks connectivity by infa-red and blue-tooth. Other downside would probably be that it can only store 10 messages, but really if yuo\'re that popular then just delete them!! All those people who complain that the motion is too fast, SHUT UP. This was an additional feature and it isn\'t even listed in the specifications. Ringtones excellent, images great. Could have increased storage capacity, hwoever the capacity varies with the quality of imaging you choose to use. Games can be downloaded only from the 02 website for money, a little annoying. At the moment, i would reccomend all of you who are looking for a phone to shop around. Although it is worth it\'s price there are other handsets that are more reliable as they can be unlocked e.g. the samsung v200. I use my mobile alot for business and have found that i have had to purchase a substitute for using abroad as i can\'t unlock my X1. Most important thing of all, make sure you choose a mobile to last you a few good years.

saw the o2 X1 on the o2 website and thought it was a real good phone for the price, The specification was excellent, and the camera and video capture looked great too. After a short while getting used to all the different key functions I thought i would try out the MMS media messaging function. So i took a picture and tried to send it to my friend who I knew had a compatable handset...... No good Send failed. Eventually i found out that you had to activate the MMS service, but in the manual it said this phone was ready to go, and said nothing about registering the GPRS and MMS functions by phone. So having overcome this hurdle i managed sucessfully to send a picture, however any MMS that comes to my phone I\'m unable to open, It says the file is there but comes up as blank screen. VERY Frustrating as each attempt costs 32p !!!! I still have not managed to recieve a picture on my phone. After a while i noted that the Txt messages i was recieving were upto a couple of days old...... not much use if your arranging to go out or meet someone. This got so frustrating that I tried my Sim card in my old phone, and straight away got about 5 txt messages that were sent the last day. There are 2 arcade type games that were already on the phone, and these are quite entertaining until somone calls you in the middle of the game, then the screen freezes and the only way to clear the fault is to remove the battery.. and loose the call. Lastly, the buttons dont allways activate the functions and you find yourself pressing them repeatedly to get to a caller. All in all this phone looks great, really good camera function and video capture, but i cant help feeling that it was launched before all the faults were eliminated. They even have a dedicated help line for faults on this phone it is 01925403815 I am currently returning this hadset when I can get through to the o2 help line. All in all one very dissapointed 02 customer Simon

Hi, Although I have not yet bought this phone, I have used my m8s many times. I found absolutely no problems with the phone when I was using and as far as I am aware my m8 hasn't found any problems with it either. I played all the games including Golf and found no problem with any of them. I think the best feature of this phone is the video capture, its like having a mini camcorder on your phone. It also means u can record personal messages to people on the phone, and then send them to other phones. The phone interests me because of its 65k colour screen. This makes the display more vibrant and it also makes the pictures a lot better. I think that anybody who is having problems it is probably not the phones fault, it may have been dropped during delivery or in the store u bought it from, even in its box it could still do damage to the phone. Anyway I will be sure to submit another review when I have bought the phone.

My son bought this phone from the Carphone Wharehouse on 30th December. It continually locks up and switches off when using WAP or Games. The actual quality of the phone especially the screen is excellent. What really lets this phone down is the lack of an infra red port or the ability of O2 to supply a data cable. The cable really should be included in the price. Whats the point of a phone that has an inbuilt video camera and you cant move the videos to your pc? I\'m hoping to get the phone exchanged for something a little more reliable. This is definately not a finished product.

Hey there! I am really getting annoyed now! I have been wnting this phone for months. Everyshop I go to they have none seen as they have all been recalled to the warehouse because of faults! They keep saying within the new 2-3 weeks but it never happens! I appreciate it isn\'t the phone shops fault, it\'s o2\'s! So please, O2, hurry up! If anyone has had a similar problem please e-mail me at JWAPRIL1989@blueyonder.co.uk.
