Benefon Q - User Reviews

  • Eyes Open, would you concider selling the one you have in original package?

  • I worked on this device few years ago. Also have one still boxed (brand new) sitting on the salves. Because this device is a Monochrome display it may become an antic, which I think already is.

  • Plez lurn tu speek engrish and spel if yoo ar goin two post heer. These reviews read like they were written by schizophrenic baboons with stuck caps locks.

  • Benefon Q is better than Nokia 6610...u might ask why?... because quality ...Q forever ;)

  • all these phone should be used as door stops there reallt fuckn shocking what the hell is benefon????????

  • hahahah. a phone??? or is it some shit. please stop making phone's any more.it's bad for your proud if you had it.

  • Hi, I have worked on Benefon Q base band and the Software. I know more or less everything about this phone. The quality of this phone is not very good specially the Battery side of the products. My comments 1- The color on the key pad after sometimes usage rubs off and makes the phone very ugly 2- Benefon Q battery produce a bug in the battery processor if the user charges the battery regularly before the battery is completely empty 3- Also after some times user will notice the battery life doesn't last as much regardless of how long you charge the battery. 4- Another issue regarding Benefon Q Battery is the clip on the cover of the battery breaks after few weeks and I personally hold the battery to the phone via a tape cross it. 5- Battery charger is rubbish too, as its gets older some times shows its charging but it doesn't and the time does charge, after half an hour the phone complains of not having enough power The phone comes in three color, Silver, Brown and I guess Black and it looks very nice while is in the box. If the user drop the phone on the hard floor all the prettiness will disappears. need more info let me know....:-)

  • 1 wierd ass fone! i wont b buying 1! i hav a NOKIA! squares!

  • i dont have extra charger, where can i buy?

  • I want to buy benefon Q . Please email to me

  • great gay phone!!! I love using the antena!!! it's big!! UUUUUUUU lolol kidding!! I like this phone except for that huge antena!!!!

  • Keypads paints faded very quickly. The phone must stay on when charging. Antenna came off easily.

  • It's a nice n great phone n it's got everything i wanted n expected, but could anyone tell me where i can find a data cable for this phone and what's it's cost? and finally, is the data cable worth it?

  • i live in the netherlands and i want to know were i can by this telefon, germany?

  • positive points: 1. uniqueness- I am the only one in the group who owns one 2. lightness 3. good design (looks very clean and professional without the "plastick" feel and fancy covers of other phones) 4. cool shiny metallic finish 5. nice features (message alerts can be set from incoming call alerts-very unique, alarm can be scheduled, e.g. daily or on selected days like monday-wednesday) 6. very useful and pleasant ringtones 7. appears to be durable (however I'm not intending to drop, or knock it!) negative points 1. battery last for three days max (well I cannot really complain much because my Nokia 3310 can do only worse!) 2. keypad is hard to press 3. few shortcuts for menus (but press and holding keypad 1 is very handy!) 4. lack of customer support or availability of accessories here in the country.

  • It has a good design. Please mention its SAR in features.

  • Hi, I'm planning to buy a benefon Q gsm. What are the pro's & contra's ?

  • ooh, i got a big mistake to buy this phone. So disapointed! I have no other word to say but:"SHIT PHONE". by the way, I want to sell one with a big cheap price: only 39,99USD, contact me if you want to buy. Thanks

  • The Benefon Q has a superb call quality. What is even better is that WCT 0870 011 8282 can offer this phone free with a contract.

  • This phone is weak on features and high on price. Stupid to buy it in this day and age better cheaper phones on the market today

  • this nice lol u must be joking u want a nice looking reliable phone thats easy to use and has loads of features then u want a motorola the best phone company around i can't wait soon i'm getting my nice new shiny motorola timeport 250 this phone does'nt compare not by a longshot

  • Dear Sir or Madam, Could you pleae let me know if any car charger compatible with Benefon Q?

  • The best phone ever! Very reliable and very attractive. Nokia is just no match. Benefon is the Rolls Royce of mobile phones.

  • I just like the phone. Superb design and a very good menu. Nice coloured backlight. But the battery doesnt last for a ling time.it should be better Altogether one of the best phones.

  • anyone has got info how to make new ringtones without the cable? or where to get information about this cable (don't wanna pay about $20 for the cable:p)

  • THE ugly looking phone, alongside with the horrible horrible thing that is Nokia 8310.

  • GREAT PHONE! Very easy to use even without manual. With new software battery will last almoust one week, what is very good time within "small" phones for instance 8210 etc. www.benefon.com

  • only 2 minuses: 1) little bit slower menu, compared to nokias 2) no customizeable ringing melodies otherwise- THE BEST. really. THE BEST phone of the menu and possibilities, i've ever HEARD OF. ok, i have had philips twist, nokia 5110, ericsson t18, ofcourse NOT compareable to them. and that blue background! aha one more minus- ;) it should be scratch resistant, it's just so small that it drops out sometimes of my 'big clothes' :)

  • Wow - it has a lot of really cool features, but it looks like a hammer, or a brick!

  • It is my 18 phone! After Panasonic GD 52, GD 92, Siemens M35, S35, Ericsson 628, R 320s, T28(no more Ericsson, thanks) Motorola.... at least a GSM phone. Thank You Benefon!

  • The most stupid looking phone I've seen & Gene, you say the best! Like a cigarette lighter !!!

  • I love this phone, the pretties phone I have ever seen! Much better than any Nokia!!! Manage find it in Australia, if any Australians interested can mail me for details.

  • this phone rulez, just rulez ...

  • This is a great phone I bought it in to shop last year and I love he so much nice phone! I love it!

  • This mobile phone is ugly !!!!! Otherwise it's pretty good....

  • Don't be fooled by the gorgeous Q, if you want to WAP don't bother, all mouth and no trousers I do believe, unlike myself.

  • I have one and it is really a great phone! BUY IT!

  • Great design. Smooth metal cover. Small. 89 gr! As cool and exclusive as a mobile can be. Decently sized keys... all the details are right. Reasonable price. I'm very happy. Perfect phone for me.

  • Very nice phone.. And one of the best things are that no one has one.. unlike nokia 3310's etc. People come and ask "what is that phone?" "wow its cool what phone that is?" The WWW browser is sometimes very useful.

  • A very nice and elegant mobile phone. Simply fabulous! I'm very satisfied to have one!!

  • Very cool! Just like Contax T2, Rollei 35 Classic or Leica Minilux cameras. Benefon is a mobilephones' B&O (stylish and high-end hifi-series manufacturer).

  • Benefon Q is not just a phone, It's a story. Well done Benefon.

  • Very good looking phone and it works very well. Writing text with the phone, SMS or EMAIL is very fast. T9 works better than in Nokia phones and you can turn the T9 off with a single button press and when you write words in the old way, the T9 learns them. My ex nokia 6150 didn't feel good anymore after I had used Q for few days. All my friends want my Q ;)

  • Superb phone! Well made, excellent features, easy to use, and yet so small and light!

  • This's a very good handphone.The features are very complete.

  • NEW Q-PORTAL:

  • Ok, numbers in phone set to 50, and dialed calls set to 10. But I am a little bit confused since on the benefon site it says that the phone has memory for the last 15 dialed calls...

  • Phone memory is for 50 numbers AND sim card memory is for 255 numbers, so there is 305 places for numbers!!!

  • the phone memory is only 50 numbers not 255 !? please correct.dialled calles 10 only not 15

  • Benefon Q is in my opinion the best GSM phone in the World. With relatively good price, and the facilities that this phone can offer to the user there is not a single phone that can be grouped in Q's range. Benefon has shown that there is still room for customer satisfaction, rather than make the phone with the graphical pictures "flying" on the screen, they have instead worked on the basic needs of the customer, namely the unique feature such as for exapmle when the incoming call is ringing the user of Q can silence the ringer by pressing a single button, therefore no need to change the "profiles" before you go to a meeting or so on..... Very GOOD, keep up the innovations.

  • It is an excelent phone. I thought that I was only able to use my 9110. Benefon Q changed my mind and I'm glad that my Internet mobile is much smaller and lighter. Well done Benefon

  • Here you can buy one if you want:

  • Benefon Q is a businnes phone. Please visit in www.benefon.com to more information. Benefon is now better than any mobile developers. Just buy the phone and enjoy!!

  • Benefon Q is at the moment the best phone what is in the world. So, I could say the finnish people make the best phonse in the world. Benefon Q is now fashion!

  • Benefon Q is a perfect instrument! I have now used Benefon Q about two weeks, and I can say that it is my best mobil phone ever. E-mail, wap and especially html (microsoft explorer) make Q more than just a phone! I think that the price is quite low comparing its performance capacity. Pete

  • Really cool and stylish mobile!Features are excellent and so is usage!This is easily the best mobile I have ever used.

  • Almost perfect mobilephone!

  • Here is some text based www sites for Benefon Q, some are in Finnish but others are not. Q Portal: Benefon Wireless: fon/wireless N�sQvickin Benefon Q N.E.T.T.I: Juhoxin Q Portaali: www.geocities.com/juhox

  • Seems like a great phone, where can I get one?

  • Great phone. Sophisticated design, great features (www, e-mail, location services etc.)

  • Like a Jewel! My wife loves it (and I like the functionality too). This is a serious rival for mobile giants!

  • First phone with web browsing!

  • Well, the price is like the estimated price of Siemens SL45. Now I have to decide: web browsing or 32 MB + MP3 :)

  • This costs 499 euros (2990 FIM) in Finland and it will be available in Europe within a month. I have used it and I can say that it's unbelievable phone. You can acsess the internet with phone and read text-based pages with it. You can also read and send email, so it's full of excellent features. For more information, see where you can also buy it in the future.

  • Sounds good. Any info about the price of this phone? And is it available at all?
