Changed my mind from earlier review. It freezes all the time. Has no download avaailabilities at moment because its an o2 phone and will not have for a while. The photo quality is poor unless in VCA mode but then the photos take up so much space u can only store about 10. Video plays back in fast forward. Also MMS doesnt work I have heard these are all frequent problems with the phone and got it off the o2 website because of their quality deals. BUT don\'t panik I sent mine back and on the same contract fot the Ericsson T610 and it is awesome. So much better then the x1 with all the functions you need. Trust me! jonnyelworthy@hotmail.com

I got this phone a couple of days ago and i have to say that i have so far found it to be a superb handset. The screen is good with the 65k colours and is great for the photos and games. The camera; this is an excellent feature and takes suprisingly good pictures for a camera phone. I like the zoom feature which comes in handy. In the shop they didn\'t tell me about the motion ability so was pleasantly suprised when i got it home and found it by the photo option. This is also very good but i have found that i am unable to play the clips back in real time, as they phone plays them quicker and there aren\'t any buttons that can be used to slow it down. Does anybody have and answer or suggestion to this? (my email is james.mcloughlin@lycos.co.uk) The games; you get two games and the ability to download more (though i have not tried this yet). The two games are minigolf and Jumping Bear (I think). I prefer the minigolf and found the JB to be rather boring. However, they should both be suitable for those boring times when on the train or in work ;-) These games are also Java which makes it easier to download new games as their are more websites and O2 active is available. The ringtones; i read a review saying that these were pathetic but belive them to be reasonably good. You get 30 altogether which gives you a good choice. Remember, if you like others fail to see my point, there is the website www.free-ringtones-free-logos.com were you can satisfy all your ringtone needs. Another good point, is that the ringtones are extremely loud and the vibrating is very strong and have so far never missed a call! Another point that other people have commented on is that their phone is constantly freezing and the software crashing, but i can safely say (touch wood) that so far my handset has been great. I believe it to be the luck of the draw whether you get on of the minority of phones that are faulty or one of the moajority that are fine. GPRS; on my prevous phone i never had GPRS and never used WAP, but since getting the X1 i have found i have started to use it alot more. For example, i wanted to know how the Mighty Liverpool had got on at the Riverside stadium but was nowhere near a T.V or radio so decided to have a look on my phones net. It was very simple to do and in no time i was reading all the footie results. Also, i needed to know when the next train was leaving from my home village, so as i was on the move i just looked on the internet and found the times. Easy :-) Slow menu\'s; the advice i give you about these, as i admit they are quite slow compared to other phones i have used, is to just chill as what do a few milli-seconds matter? I have used the phone quite alot so far, and havent found the menus a problem though they are a tadge slow.:-) Overall, i belive this phone to be outstanding, as it offers value for money (at #170 on PAYG-compared to it\'s rivals like samsung) and ton\'s of fab features. The camera is excellent, the screen is excellent, the ringtones and games are great fun and the call clarity and reception is also excellent. So as a whole i would say this phone was.....well.....excellent! :-) If you have any quiries or questions then email me at james.mcloughlin@lycos.co.uk . And i\'ll hopefully be able to help you!

More of the same complaints I\'m afraid. Seems to be a problem with the Java games, causes freezing and blackout. Phone doesn\'t register on the network when people try to call me. \"S.O.S. calls only\" displayed in an area with full coverage. I bought mine through the O2 website because the 500 texts + 500 WAP minutes seemed easily the best deal around. The so called e-care is simply appalling: well, actually non-existant, just generated e mails suggesting cleaning the SIM card and trying the SIM in another phone. Absolutely no personal response whatsoever, the only other option is to dial the helpline at 50p a minute. Sent it back and I think I\'m getting a replacement, but it seems from the reviews here i am simply wasting my time. Caveat Emptor.

This is an excellent phone, with a high quality camera when set to vga mode, and a decent quality camcorder which can record animations, so you can get yours friends when there boogeying on down, lol plus its a rotating camrea, so you can quickly snap an image of yourself. This phones got excellent features, games have no sound, thats the pre-installed ones like, ringtones aren\'t bad, some are bad but theres some good ones on there. Menu look nice can be a bit slow though, LEDs on the front of the phone go banana\'s when ya get a call and they change colour from yellow, to red, blue green and purple. The front LCD display shows the date time, battery level, signal and the network. Mine came with free #20 airtime and a fee hands free kit from the Link, quite genorus really, i think this is an excellent phone if you want a top range model, without forking out around #250 - #300. PURE BARGAIN :D WINSY!

Guys honestly - don\'t go for this phone. Had lots of emails with the same problems as me: 1. (main problem) signal - if you make/receive a call in a full signal area, as soon as you press the green pick-up/make call button the signal completely disappears to one bar and then fuctuates between 0-2 bars - which is why people cant catch what you are saying. 2. I received a replacement and it had the same problem. By this time you would have spent a fortune calling customer care (which they will eventually refund). 3. The phone freezes up at least 3 times a day (especially during calls or when sending text messages) 4. It also swtiches itself off frequently during calls/txts or any other time it feels like it! 5. Eventually it was too much - i had to really complain because the screen went completely blank and never returned. 6. When you go 2get help (as other reviews have stated) it is not good. Previously o2 denied any faults with the phone but by this occasion they admitted to me that these were common faults with the phone (esp. the blank screen) 7. Just to top it off - all they will offer you is a cruddy replacement - i.e any of the old phones they are giving away free on their website. Total con - so for those of you who are new to o2 get used to it as you got a whole year of them. Lucky for me this was my second year and they are allowing me to cancel my contract for this year. Honestly, i\'m not a sceptic or trying to slate o2 they were really good until now - their tarriffs do seem to be the best but you would think they could come up with more than that considering the trouble?? I\'m really not out to slate the phone either cos it would have been a good choice if they had tested it properly b4 lauching. I just wanted to save people the bother i have had..

I ordered one of these as a free upgrade to my old Nokia 3330 but have now returned it because of a couple of faults. By the way, the phone is actually a rebadged Maxon MX-A30 with a couple of customisations for O2. I think I prefer the brick style of phone to the clamshells, but thats just personal preference. Good points: The phone looks very nice, though I did think it looked a bit plasticky at first. I could see the \'chrome\' bits wearing off in time. Nice size and weight too. The exterior screen shows lots of information, such as the time/date and similar icons to those that are visible on the main screen. It also displays the callers name when you get a call, but you still have to open the phone to reject a call. The screen is very bright and clear with a good resolution, though mine had a couple of dead pixels (one reason for the return). The camera seems good quality for a phone camera and the ability to take motion shots is nice. Camera phones are just a gimmick in my opinion though and not something I\'d use much. The phone is loud enough to be heard, both for speech and alarms/ringtones. The vibrate is strong enough to make it noticeable, even when it\'s in a jacket pocket. The menus seemed easy enough to follow and the shortcuts from the main scren to the texts, call lists and camera where nice to have. I liked the control over the alarms as you can specify what days the alarm should be triggered. 3 alarms too, which is good. Though a shame that the alarm tones are all really bad. Bad Points: While the quality of the ringtones are fine, the initial selection on the phone is pretty dire. O2 should have waited for a couple of months before releasing the phone as the support for it is non-existant. I asked their customer services about the support for it on their Active site and also about a data cable but they said they had no information on either. Games support is limited too and the games on the phone aren\'t that great. No sound on the games supplied. The lack of an IR port, bluetooth and the lack of information on the data cable means that you can\'t transfer information between the phone and your computer (short of setting up your own wap site!) - so no downloading pictures from the phone or uploading ringtones that way. I also had serious problems with the microphone on the phone (the other reason for the return). People kept complaining they couldn\'t hear me. This seemed an intermittent problem but was really annoying. I noticed that the signal strength drops right off if you touch the aerial - easy to do during a call due to the style of the phone (especially if you hold the phone in your right hand, like me). Texting is not a patch on my old Nokia. The keypad is not very good for quick texting and the T9 implementation doesn\'t have the \'nice\' features of the Nokia (No capitalising words, no smiley dictionary, no predicting punctuation, 2 key presses to get a full stop). Overall: It\'s a shame because with a little more thought and better support this could have been a really nice phone. Unfortunately, the microphone problems and the texting interface really let it down for me. Any queries/questions/comments? Mail me on o2x1@jimster.com

Phone arrived Thursday, by Thurs evening I realised it had to go back. No-one could hear me as it constantly cuts out and the signal goes down to 1 bar, whereas my Nokia 8310 has a perfect reception wherever I am. I actually bought two hands, one was on pay as you go for a friend, and it has exactly the same problem - I was being referred to as \'Norman Collier\'. I do, however, love the phone and have re-ordered another one in case it was just a bad batch but if I have the same prob again then its going back same day and contract will be cancelled. Not sure if its something to do with clamshell style phones as have read some reviews on the Samsungs as they appear to have similar probs. And whats with the ringtones - they are terrible. I downloaded the Nokia Tune from www.polyphonicringtonez.co.uk absolutely free of charge where they have a large selection.

This is a phone definately worth buying. I am looking for a new phone for christmas and was ready to buy the Sony Ericson T610, however I stumbled across this luckily, and i was blown away. The T610\'s lowest price for Pay as You Go is #169.99 with a text saver from orange, but it isn\'t such a great deal as i discovered. Im going to buy this with \'Pay as You Go\' but since I never call, I shall just text, and as it comes with 500 free texts a month (16 a day), I wont be spending anything! My brother has the Samsung E700 which he recently purchased, and it is a great phone, but way more expensive and with only a few more gadgets. For #169.99 this phone is incredible. I suggest to anyone looking for a new phone with camera etc, buy it, its the best price for a great phone anywhere around. What a deal! If you have any views or problems with the phone, please email me as I want to know as much as possible about this phone before I buy it. email is: blueburns@hotmail.com

Re: David Dickinson, you can add your own words to dictionary, I worked it out by accident, you need to write the words with gaps in between all the letters like this: B i r m i n g h a m. Then close up all the letters using the back arrows and cancel button, it should now be saved into the dictionary, hopefully. it dissapears if you don\'t use it much though, like on the Nokia 3410 which I had before. I\'ve emailed 02 asking about the caller groups, no reply as yet, it seems a bit stupid that there\'s a caller group feature but the handbook fails to mention how to add contacts too it, doesn\'t seem like the phone can do it either. But I have managed to download ringtones from 02 Active on WAP, I just ignored the compatibility warnings just to see if it would work, not sure if it will work from other sites though, so don\'t blame me if it won\'t work for you! the Alarm\'s a bit loud but at least it wakes you up in morning, no chance of not hearing it! The camera and video features are brilliant, cam could do with flash though, as doesn\'t show up well if you are somewhere with subdued lighting, ie: the pub. good quality with daylight though! does anyone know if you can save media messages sent to you as wallpaper? if anyone can help or just wants a moan or a chat littlemissmelodramatic@yahoo.co.uk

The O2 X1 should not have been realised to the public!! I brought mine on the 11th November 2003, thinking i had brought a cool phone. The thing is you cannot make it \"cool\" as no company has any downloads or ringtones for it. Even going to O2\'s website is not worth it as the phone is not even listed in the drop down menu\'s and there ringtones are not compatible. This may change and i hope it will, but unless you are prepared to wait i would go with one that has been on the market a while. You also cannot get a data cable to transfer pictures from and to your pc, they have not made one yet is what i was told by O2.so when they do, how much extra am i going to have to pay. Also there is a fault on there O2 services which i (at my own expence) had to report to them as they did not even know.This phone\'s overall quality is super but O2 need to pull there finger out to make it the best on the market!!!

Very impressive looking, superb colour screen, excellent camera functionality and picture quality, superb sound quality, even has video feature, very clever intergrated hands free that hangs phone round neck, only downside is no profiles, but hot keys are as quick to do same thing.. definitely one to get!!!

Had my phone for almost a week now. Very impressed, great quality still and motion pictures plus zoom is good as well. Takes a bit of getting used to after having a Nokia not quite as simple. My only problem is with the ringtones. Does anyone know how to attach a downloaded ringtone to a calling group or can this not be done? Doesn\'t seem much point being able to download and then only being able to attach the standard ones, am I doing something wrong? If anyone knows can you mail me at: anjihughes@hotmail.com

I got my phone yesterday and at first thought it was great. Don\'t get me wrong it\'s a good phone but there are too many things about it that annoy me. The colour is great and the standard of the photos is excellant. The downsides are only small things. Like when you go into the inbox it shows the start of the message instead of the person that sent it! Also the predicitive text is not up to standard, especially after having a nokia! Takes far to long to add someone into the phonebook or send a message. Not bad overall but not a phone for simplicity and quickness.

A great mobile at the perfect price. The only gripe I have with the phone is that you cannot have it totally \'silent\', if you switch off the tones then you have to have vibrating alert and the vibrate on this phone is like a mini earthquake! The good thing about this phone is that it takes all of the good features from different telephones (camera from Samsung, layout from Sony Ericsson and text modules from Pana GD87), and brings them together to form a great value camera phone. It has been described as a \'budget\' phone but how can any phone be budget when 6 months after release you can recieve it free of charge on most networks! If you get the chance to get one of these, take it!

Hmmmm, where to begin? I love the camera, the quality is great and the swivel means you can easily take photo\'s of your face or the room. The ringtones are col, and the fact that its a flip phone is pretty sweet, but unfortunately there are a few things i aint pleased with. I\'ve only ever had nokia phones before and i love how you can add words to their predictive text messages, but not with the o2x1. This means you can\'t swear or name places or nicknames without typing them manually EVERY time! Also in texts (and phone book entry\'s) the first word isn\'t automatically capital lettered, neither after a fullstop (might seem quite petty but when you\'re used to it...). Everything just seems a little bit more confusing and difficult than it needs to be. To add a new number you have to press about a million buttons whereas i\'m used to the nokia hardly typing any! Even to just send a text to a number in your phonebook takes ages! Seriously think about it before you buy, i\'m thinkin about sending mine back.

Had the phone for 4 days now, the first thing i did was download some ringtones as the ones on the phone are really bad! (honestly - not one decent one) It was a big shock from nokia which i am used to but overaall it is very easy to use the menu is really simple. The camrecorder is brilliant. I had my heart set on the GX-20 but this is well worth it if you are thinking of value for money (o2 online tarriffs are excellent and the phone was free)so can\'t complain. The only problem which i have had, and may need to send it back beacuse of this, is that people can\'t seem to hear me and complain that i am breaking up even with full signal. Has anyone else had this problem? Please email me housel@croydon.ac.uk Thanks

The phone visually is stunning, with multi coloured leds on the front which go crazy at various moments, sleek chrome edges and brushed silver. The phone is remarkably simple to use, based around the samsung style of phone. The screen is fabulous 65,000 colours and a large screen size helps. The camera is the best I have seen in a \'budget\' phone providing some great shots and the swivel lens helps. Downsides are few, the alarm is WAY too loud providing much panic at 6am. Call quality can be suspect as well, with the volume of the other person going quiet then loud or missing words. All in all, a great phone for a budget model, but I would suggest trying it out first.

Opened the box and was blown back. What a stunning phone. Started using it, different story. Cant download any java games (must be a compatibility problem) struggle to stay connected to wap or gprs. The games and Ringtones are crap, games dont even have sound. Then again my phone might be faulty. On the plus side. The camera is excellent and the screen looks fantastic. Every time the phone rings the lights go bezerk, you can almost turn the lights of in the room and have a disco. Decent size and weight, flip front, buttons are not too small but then again they are not too big either. Class buy, chuffed with it, but think i might need to wait on a data cable coming out for it to get my games, ringtones, walpaper etc.... on the phone. Cheers email me if you can help with my problems davidjnr@ramsay.biz
