  • i love this phone, anything vodafone do is great actually.

  • this phone is mising just 3g and wlan and will be ok wery good touchscreen :)

  • In your contacts, select options, then contact settings, then preferred storage & then select "both". That fixes it :-)))

  • Yeah i have the same problem, fair annoying, would actually considering sending phone back over this!

  • Is the earphones good or they are silently ????

  • had few problems with it after a month kept turning off when texting n nt letting me use internet

  • thanks

  • how do you use the camera on this phone?

  • I had this problem my daughter did it. when the whole of the widget is showing drag to the left and it will disappear but you need to be firm in dragging it and persistant. bit of a pain careful now not to put any on my screen

  • How do you remove the widgets from the home screen? because when ever i try it doesnt work. Other than that, good phone

  • When someone text me only the number of the phone shows not the name but they are in my contacts how can I change this to see name also. thanks Good phone apart from this.

  • to change the ring tone go to: profiles, options, customize, tone settings. :)

  • i bought this phone 3 days ago, instead of the Sony Erricson Xperia X10 mini pro. I am pleased with the results as i saved £110 by choosing this over the Sony Erricson. The thing is, i cannot find any cases for it apart from on mobilefun, but i dont trust them. anyone know where i can buy a silicone case and screen protector?

  • how do you change the ringtone ?

  • Iv got this phone in pink and white it is fantastic

  • Yes this is ZTE X960 customized for Vodafone Live!

  • same model is in the t mobile offer and it's called vibe so link which i posted is correct for this model.

  • Vodafone's branded phones are usually made by Alcatel or ZTE(also possibly Hauwei handsets). The lower end is made by Alcatel and the higher by ZTE, at the moment. Decide for yourself, I would say this is an Alcatel, although I have no press clipping(proof). Have a look at this high-end Alcatel: The pebble keys are similar to the VF553's, but I may be wrong. Bird's of a feather flock together.

  • It's made by zte and here is proof:

  • can someone put link to web site of similar samsung cellphone. ty

  • i really want to buy a phone with aircon..^^

  • fantastic handset for the extreme cheap price,good build,nice screen,acceptable 2mp camera and at 60 euro i can't say a thing against this!!!

  • Great handset when you consider the cheap price.

  • I love this phone, its faster than the iphone and looks better than the desire.

  • lacks essential specifications.tried though

  • no wlan, no 3G....what the crap whats the screen resolution

  • itz basicly a samsung ping touch wiv vodafone writen all over it. Could be a good fone though.

  • resistive screen for whom????
