Asus J501 - User Reviews

  • the phone's good. problem is, it doesn't have the fuckin' parts here

  • ..i was so disapointed 2 dis mobile phone, kc ung flex nya unavailable dd2 sa wellcom sm cebu...sana nga lng magkaroon ng flex pra mgamit q nman ung cp q..pllzzzzzzzzzzzzz ppppppppoooooooooooooo

  • I have an Asus j501.I bought it in wellcom manila.I cant use it now bcoz there is problem with the flex.I called all the branches of wellcom here in maila but they said that they dont have available flex.And top of it they are saying that the unit is already obsolete.I bought this phone for almost 14K and yet cant use it just bcoz of that piece of part of that phone.Please help me where can i buy that flex ?

  • the phone is really great, but i need to have it fixed every 6 months.. just be careful with the slide connector or something..

  • well... i'm having a good time with my asus j501... easy to use... and i'm able to use its functions 100% with my laptop & pc... A phone must have for budget techie ppl like me...

  • 0000- 4 zeroes

  • can i know da dfualt code of asus j501???? can u help me pls..........

  • can i get to internet connection or gprs with asus j501? how? pls text me how if yes!! text me also if not...please!!!!

  • i hate ASUS cellphone! another typical chinese made disposable, problamatic cellphone.. grrrrr! what a waste!

  • you rigth this the worst phone .....always FLEX promble..

  • another disposable phone in the market...

  • as always.. a typical taiwan fon and china fons.. this ain't a nice fon if you're up for a quality fon.. if you like features and have lots of money to waste then you're for this.. but what had happened to mine, the flex had a problem till the screen got nothing to show but a white light.. so guys ASUS is a computer brand.. they're still experimenting on new phones so don't buy this brand yet for a Cellphone purposes..just computers.. im disappointed :X

  • This is the WORST phone i've had all my life! I sold mine after 2 months for half the original price.

  • This phone is very problematic!!!

  • whaaa.. im having problems on my j206 fone', pretty much like the ones posted below..! when i try sliding the fone up, a blank white screen just pops up! and i'll end up restarting the freakin fone.. so i then resort into leaving it "slided-up" all day.. or until i finished up texting.. gaah! my fone probably just reached its limit and worth. after just a year of using it.. im starting to regret not buying a nokia phone instead.. since nokia fones are most likely the toughest fones out there', pang matagalan talaga.! ryt now', those fast evolving new fones out there may have the rage on high tech features. but certainly lacks the good ole toughness! sheesh.. DISPOSABLE TALAGA..!

  • yah dis phone is such a headache..last time when u go to the site of asus u find it there but after i email them about my problem and telling that their service center here in manila the wellcom don't know how to fix the problem of their phone and also after they already find out that the phone they released the j501 is not perfect,you cannot find it anymore to their site. the support they promise?its all a lie, it sucks....

  • to all the people encountering problem with asusj501, you don't know how to take care of your cp that's why your encountering problems... i've had this phone for almost a year now...i even dropped it several times but not even a scratch on it...promise.. to all the people encountering prob try going to sm megamall, find asus world...

  • hi im also having the same problem with my asus j206 sliding phone. i used it for merely 7 months. i was amazed at first because of the loud sound, and nice camera. but in its fourth month, the speaker seems to fail, and it always say, decoding error then it go back to the default settings. now, my phone screen turns black whenever i slide it up. then i need to restart the phone to see the screen again. i brought it to almost all wellcom service center here in manila but unfortunately, they all could not help me. they say its the flex but they are always out of stock. im very disappointed. it is like a cheap disposable phone.

  • don't buy at wellcom sucat, they cannot help you when you have encountered some technical problems... booooooooo... wellcom sucat.....

  • To all J501 users... I know that you will encounter also what I have experiencing with this Asus phone...messed up... Believe me... Tell your friends not to buy this phone...

  • Just to open up... I bought this phone last August 2007. At first, I was amazed with the camera and video. Then, after 2 months... I've encountering problem with my screen and now, I was shocked when after turning it on, u can't see anything and the screen totally messed up... I was upset and disappointed with this kind of phone and also the store where I bought this (WELLCOM Sucat)cannot even help even help me right away they always keep on referring me to other store, wherein lots of good words when selling, but when problem encountered, it seems that they don't even know you... Based on my own experience.

  • guys... We have same problem too... Please help us...
