BenQ M315 - User Reviews

  • i have benq m315 it is not switching on, so can some one help me

  • this is Siemens ap75

  • yah i agree it is kinda slow phone..

  • I bought this phone over a year ago and have had a few problems with it. The bluetooth doesn't connehct to phones, sometimes the keys dont work and the battery life is not very good. also,the camera is not very good at all and it is a very slow phone. Other than that, i really like it.

  • could u help me to fix my benq m315? the LCD was blank till now..or could u tell me where to fix my benq phone?

  • How much did u'll people pay for this phone??? i got it for only rs 3900....n wats it is actual price...or has the price of the cell fallen??

  • I find this phone good as for small size packed with many features. Camera is of no worth for other than shooting wall paper of your choice. Problem area is non availavility of accessories and support in places like Banglore and Chandigarh. If some one can find Data Cable somewhere please share location at [email protected]

  • I can't connect bluetooth to my headset. Clearly I followed all the instruction bearing no fruits. Someone to help me p'se.

  • set is good of bnqu M315.ineeded servicecenter of kolkata

  • I am very sorry to buy this Benq M315 I cannot turn on this mobile since two days. It occure first time but some how it turn on But now I can't. Please help me.

  • yes, the bluetooth is only to be used with headsets. the phone doesn't find other bluetooth phones, only headsets, and other bluetooth phones can't find the benq m315... why does it have bluetooth anyway? haha

  • I bought Benq M315 in Dhaka, Gulshan buy shope not offer me headest blooth free, why? no blooth is free at all for Dhaka.

  • This fone looks cool but i heard the blutooth only works with the headset. Can someone please tel me does it recieve pics by it.

  • poor quality and very slow performance...most time I spent on it is 'waiting' for it to finish an operation...and then even worse, it died itself for no reason after being used for 8 months or so - cannot be turned on even when it's being charged(blue background light was contantly on though) and after battery replacement...A total useless hassle...negative negative negative...

  • Haven't had the phone for long, but i'm using it as a spare. It's pretty good as a basic phone tough battery life is pretty weak, not sure why. The camera is definitely not comparable with most of the other phones out in the market, so if you're looking for a good camera, stay away from the M315. Accessories are also a hassle, as BenQ aren't very big, so it's hard to find replacements for any parts etc if needed. I am also having similar problems with sending sms's, but i think it may be a result of low battery or low service, i'll have to investigate further to confirm. If you're looking for a basic first phone, the M315 is certainly a bargain. It may not have fancy MP3 capability, but the ringtones are definitely loud, it offers other useful apps such as a stopwatch and a calculator as well. The only thing it's lagging for a first phone is a FM Radio. NOTE: The M315 does NOT have a FM Radio. I bought the M315 for under 100 AUD, you generally should get a free bluetooth headset, a wall charger, one battery and one BenQ M315 headset in the bundle. That is a real bargain. As i said before, i'm only using this phone as a spare until i purchase a Nokia (most probably N80) or SE (looking at w850i). This phone is rather user friendly, but I prefer Nokia's interface. All in all, i'd give this phone a 6.5/10, losing points on the lack of support for the phone, non-MP3 capable and no FM Radio. Points gain from extremely low price, free bluetooth headset bundled, loud ringtones and sturdy design. Cheers!

  • it doesn't have FM Radio as stated in the specs. :) Making sure people know that.

  • Im having Benq M315 model with warranty, Lot of pbm with attend incoming call,make outgoing call,frequently no service msg(No tower signal even itz fully available compared with other phones) and automatically restart.Currently I am residing in bangalore/India.Pls let me know the service center in bangalore

  • Can any1 tell- how long last the battery after full charge?? I purchesed this mob day B4 yesterday. with in 15hrs charge has run out.is it a prob of the battery or a permanent prob of this mobile?? Pls let me know.... Babu

  • I have purchased this phone recently. It is a nice phone. But it does not have FM Radio as mentioned in its specifications.

  • I having this phone, performance is good, looks nice. Recently I have lost blue tooth head set. I have tried to get new one and enquired in many shops, even I tried for head set. I am not able to get them. Even in the company website there is no listing of loacl dealer.

  • phone is good but iam not getting some opitions mms messages and it have fm or not iam not understanding how i can activate gprs blue tooth is good but we cant conect to other divieces .

  • Just bought this for $AUD80 (almost (1/2 price). Good points: cheap, LOUD ringtones, sturdy build. Bad points: slow menus, Benq want $AUD35 for a data cable + $10 postage (ha!).

  • Iam in india and this cell is a good value for money in india. The problems being... bad camera (0.8 mega pixel i guess), bad and slow key pad (SMS typing is a pain), bluetooth can be only used as wirefree headset, no data transfer, photos transfered thru only MMS; the cell is actually very delicate as not shockprooof like all the nokia cells (so dont even think of carrying the same to bryan adams concert as with the cam as if u cant click good pics)

  • Is this phone can install java software from internet or pc. In it's specification I seen it don't support java. If not I can't use opera mini. Also cannot use java games and softwares. And also please tell me the range of bluetooth headset. Please mail me to my account.

  • i recently brought the benq M315 mobile phone and it is very good for me. i am feeling very nice at my mobile. but my problem is i am having USB data cable for my mobile phone but i am not having the supporting CD for USB cable. so i want the solution for my problem

  • Had this 6 weeks. Keypad nice, joystick nice, battery well 2 - 3 days without much use isn't enough with my life. Love the alarms - there are five and you can pick the tune. Also they can be weekday only and the alarms vibrate and snooze for 5 minutes at a time. Bluetooth works ok. SMS is bliss so easy to change between modes, even mid message. Camera less than I had hoped for.

  • Hi, I got the BenQ M315 Phone a few days ago and i abosoulutly love it. It is so good. It is also really handy with a camera because. i went on an excursion at school today (i'm a kid) and i didn't bring a camera, but i got my phone and i snapped away! The games arn't very good, but the camera is there to entertain you anyway. It is good because it is small and light. The desing also looks very snazy. The only problem is that i don't think it comes with a USB so i don't think you can transfer photos onto the computer. I might go down to the shop to see if i can get a USB thing (becuase it looks like it has a USB port) This phone is such good value and i reccomend it to people who like a small phone with camera and good features! Thank You for reading!

  • I want to connet computer.I don,t Connet.I want to solution.

  • can we get datable for it????????

  • Don't be fooled, the bluetooth only works between the phone and the handsfree headset. You cannot connect to other devices at all.

  • Feels a bit flimsy in hand, weight too light to be solid. Comes with a bluetooth headset in Singapore. Too small a screen for me. Other than that, good functions for it's dollar price.
