Bird A120 - User Reviews

  • hi people i saw bird A120 on clearance in shop and it look like nice mobile i use many phones expensive and cheap with all best and worst features but i want to get bird i read opinions and i cant work out is worth to get or not there was also sagem my x 7 and it cool as well but someone tell me how s bird and thank u in advance.

  • nice!

  • This phone pretty much just looks nice. It can only store such a tiny amount of messages. The buttons are the worst buttons I've encountered. Sometimes the phone won't let me make or receive phone calls and gives no indication that it's doing that. It's just barely a usable phone. If you're low on cash, buy a cheaper one even if it doesn't have a camera, it'll at least be a usable phone.

  • this phone is really bad, you can get much better phones for the same price i advise u not to get it

  • Well, its an alriight phone but i dunno how to get the net and ringtones and crap please anyone email me to help me cyas

  • i was wondering if you could take the pics that you have on this phone and put them on your computor- or do you need some cord or something I HAVE NO IDEA- (im really bad wih phones and stuff)

  • look mates this is a peice of classic electronic device. i love this fone. this only cost me 21 buks

  • Yeah, for a year and half it has been pretty good, but when its battery leaves u forever, and is impossible to find a replacement on the market, it's a waste of money!

  • yeh pritty good fone ai. but its annoyin u cant hav like that maney fotos or msgs on dere so yeh thats pritty downie. but i dont no how to download ringtones onto it :( well yeh l8r sk8rs

  • I discovered the images from the camera is not as sharp as other phones and it worries me that my network insists that the phone is not compliant with WAP hence they can not hook me to the NET. The technical detail of the phone needs to be upgraded. Alex

  • I adore it. It is a perfect phone for young lady

  • camera CIF nobody deserves

  • I only really bought it coz it was cheap :P

  • It sometimes freezes and only holds 50 photos AND its an unknown brand so its hard to download stuff but otherwise its a great phone!

  • I bought this phone off ebay. I am really happy with it. I have had no problems with SMS or numbers not being displayed though I did have to put names in twice (+61 and 040). I have no probles with connecting to the internet or MMS messages. The camera I think is really good and so age the melodies! I recommend it..

  • how to connect to internet and how to use the gprs.send the details to my mail box

  • strange but great it really cool and noone else has it so thats really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Its one of the BEST phones iv eva had!!!!!!!!

  • Really fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Its BRILLIANT i love it couldnt be better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have had a few phones through my work, I decided to buy this phone for personal use, it was the price which led me to buy it and it was a total waste of money. This phone has almost no redeeming features at all, the menu navigation is slow, the camera quality is low, reception is terrible, it's not east to open the clam shell, the charger broke after 3 months and the range of ringtones is rubbish. Save your money and look for another phone if you're thinking of this one.

  • the phone is poor....but the shape is elegance

  • does have private or loud speaker??

  • how do you transfer songs or media things on it tell me need to know

  • hi i need to know how to download music into this phone.i really like the phone ,and would want to use it for a while. so please advice me thanks

  • i like the bird a120, i bought an all silver one and it lookes pretty cool!

  • dam good phone 4 the price

  • i think this phone is pretty god but i just dont know how i can send an mms and what in the world is ems? i have had a fair fwe problems with this phone so if you know all the little details about it please e-mail me and we can catch up because this is really annoying!!!

  • I've had this phone for about 4 months and I love it. Most people seem to complain but I mean, the phone only cost about $100 so you can't expect much from it, ya know? I think it's pretty damn good for the price that you pay for it. Camera quality isn't too bad at all. I'll post up an example of one of the photos when I send one to my email sometime. I actually haven't had a problem with knowing who's calling or who sent me a messege, but I have added +61 to all the numbers just incase. I've even downloaded ringtones and they work perfectly fine! I'd give this phone a 9 out of 10. It looses 1 mark cause it really can't hold that many messeges at all and the reception can really be quite crap. But other then that, I'm pretty satisfied considering the price I paid for it ($129 at the time, but now it's even gone down to $109). If you've got any questions feel free to email me and I'll try and help you out.

  • i cant seem to download ringtones. please if u know how email me. ta

  • this phone is pissing me off, yu know how you say to do that little + thing with the numbers well i dont even no how to use that button wenever i press it, it doesnt come up only as a "0" i need help!! you know where all the ringtones are and underneath the 40 it has "my music" well that is soo gay coz u cant even get ur own music. THis phone is like a rip off and has random button that doesnt even work like those "my music" buttons. The ringtones arent even loud enough to here and lately wen i pic it up to answer a call i cant here anyone yet they can kinda here me and i can see the seconds adding up on my screen. they should have a site explaining this whole phone and how to use every single bit of it!!!! soo if anyone knows anything can u plzz tell me my email is [email protected]

  • for the sms sender name thing, i have my phonebook set up so that each person is in there twice. once as 04... and once as +61... That way, whether they sms or call, their name comes up. It'd be a pain to do if your phone book was very long, though. Also, I have found that the loss of the + from the +61 when the phone is turned off has no adverse effect. The correct name still displays when i get an sms.

  • It is an alright phone, the only thing i dont like about it is the fact that when recieving sms it does not display the name of who it was from. I found out that if you put +61 instead of the zero infront of the number it shows you. (eg. 0405678987 id +61405678987). But when you turn it off and back on, It takes away the +! then u have to do the whole phone book again. If u can help me at all, email me at [email protected]

  • does anyone know how to save ringtones that get sent to you from friends via mms. also when i try to download a ringtone it aks me where to put it eg. my melody 1 etc but when I go to save it it says music memory full yet the only ringtones are the ones that come with the phone

  • i have a bird a120 that i have had since the 30th of december last yr and already i have 2 send my phone off 2 get fixed i really hate this phone and think it is the most useless present that i have ever recieved

  • I really like this phone, it has plenty of features and never breaks down. I recommend it to anyone good for horseplay and taking pics

  • quality handset

  • i have a bird A102, the design is really sexy, but i have problems with the service, i dont even have any service at my house and i live in town! so thats what i dislike about the phone! and plus- enjoy life??? whats with that??? good phone, but some disappointments! from emma

  • ok guys sorry to do this to anyone who actually has this phone but they suck!!! I work for an australian mobile company and we are constantly getting enquiries about them, there are no accessories available for them and they cant even be repaired coz noone in aus can get parts. my advice is stay very far away from all bird phones.

  • I got an all sivler one! does it do PXT? i mean i dunno how to get photos from other ppl :(

  • The camera is crap, main buttons are small. sounds ok, reception does drop out more than other phones, cant change screen or buttons

  • does anyone how to get some free ringtones for this phone without having to subscribe for anything and going on the internet?

  • Well i really don't reccommed this phone but that is my opinion and if you would like to buy one online go to ebay coz it will be really cheap there

  • This phone is crap, because when you recieve sms's it dosn't tell you who it is from and it dosen't work that well and for the price i got it from i would get a refund totally .

  • Hi Lilli I live in Australia and just bought the bird a120 on ebay for just over $100. I would give it a 7/10, there are a few minor things that annoy me such as.. to view the sms senders names every mobile number has to have +61 in front with the first zero of the number subracted. (so 0404 040 040 becomes +61404 040 040) If you do this you can no longer view names of callers, but there must be a solution. It's a really attractive phone and has some great features shoved inside its little body. Camera is average but better than none. Reception is crystal clear and the handset is comfortable to use once you get used to it. Recomend it as long as you deal with a few glitches

  • I just saw an ad for this phone, and it's only $100 and seems pretty decent for the price. I live in Australia, and i like the look of it, apart from the orange one. If anybody else is from australia, can u please tell me if you have an all silver one, and where you got it from and how much it was??? Cheers, Lilli

  • The phone is damn good, but I need someone to explian better what I should do to make the name of the sender of sms to appear on the screen of my phone.

  • No real probs with phone yet, but does anyone know how to get caller id working? I figured out the sms caller id but since then phone no longer has id. Just a minor annoyance...

  • Very impressive little phone. Pretty easy to use and has some good stuff packed inside the very small handset. Camera quality very average and ringtones are dodgy, recomend ringtone 40. The only hicup was recieving sms, phone didn't say who messages were from, only gave the numbers. But if you punch in +61, minus the 0 in front of the number, the sms will appear with names. Recomend it and give it a 8/10

  • is the camera quailty good? someohne tell me plaese

  • it gorgeous

  • Whats rong wid it

  • far out the message thing s stuffing up

  • Oh, and does the phone have a Calendar or Reminder function? Does it have hands-free as well? Haha. There seems to be alot that the specifications don't tell you.

  • So is the camera quality crap? Or do the pictures come out so blury and pixelated that you can't tell what they are. I heard from someone that it was pretty good. And does it have video recording? I think I'm gonna buy this phone on Saturday. I saw someone with it and they said it's a really good phone. I did find a brief review for it here: ­ Although it doesn't explain much. If I do end up buying the phone, I'll write a review for it. =P All the stuff I've read hhere is way too confusing.

  • yea i am having the same problem as jess (person below me) HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey my name is jessica! My friend has just purchased one of your phones but every time i go to ring it it goes straight to her message bank. she pressed a button which she is unsure of and i rang again and it worked but then the next time i called (only seconds later) it went straight back to her messaage bank like straight away! I am thinking of getting the same phone as her (bird A120) but i am just wondering why is this happening and will it happen to me if i purchase this phone? thankyou, jessica

  • i bought my phone this phone a while ago and i got a voice mail and it said press 121 and i activated my voice mail and now who ever calls me it goes straight to my voice mail

  • Hi to all i bought this fone no that long ago and i am finding that i am haveing a bit of trouble with it i can't see who as sent me a mms i cant access the internet and i can send and revieve MMS but i cannot use any of the picture of the ringtone that people have sent me does anyone know whats going on with the phone? thanks

  • ok so to see who is sending you a message with this phone you have to enter the +61 then the mobile number without the 0 at the front, so i can now see who is sending me messages but now when people ring me it doesnt come up with there name just the number... is there a way to see who is messaging and who is calling ????

  • does this phone have video recording on it? and how much memory does it have?

  • Hay every1, i agree the ringtones are qiute bad and the pictures are wierd and it does come up with network failure somtimes which i dont no why, the phone is ok could hav been better if it could actually send the photos and recieve them but any way look before you buy poeple

  • Very cool phone !

  • how do you get rid of the sos calls only

  • got this A120 phone to use but don't like the ringtones, need to download ringtones and pictures.

  • can some1 tell me how to get ringtones it is soooooo anoghing aghhhhhhh thanks

  • hi... I am planning to but this phone this saturday. I lokked at it in a cellular phone shope and found it interesting... I like it's cover and its wide4r screen. Can anybody tell me more about this phone? plz. mail me. tnx. love u!

  • Well i have had this phone for a week or so now My last phone was a very small panasonic. I like the navigation on this phone i havent had to use the instruction book yet so it is easy to use it is easy to send sms messages What i am saying is the buttons are far enough apart to not make mistakes, I have tried to download a ring tone cause i hate the 40 that come with it but that didnt work (could be my stupidity not the phone) it is easy to store and retrieve numbers and it comes with a great game they call Russian but i know as tetris what a bonus i love that game. It is nice to hold and use although there is an option called internet i dont understand what that does (maybe i will have to read the instructions). Oh yeah i forgot the camera I think the picture quality is passible i have certainly seen worse on camera phones and heh lets not forget this phone only costs $100.or so and that included a hands free so i am happy

  • we have had nothing but bad experiences with this particular model of phone fo shizzle coz mo nizzle. the guy who sold it to us said it was the best phone on the market...ppfffft. he said it had bluetooth, 3.2 mega pixcel camera, MP3 player 3g capable. his name was marcel and im just not happy with this kind of service and lies!! im on a pension and im always taken advantage of...i have 3 kids to feed i can't afford to be tricked like this!!!!! i wish i came on this website before i bought the phone to get truthful information.

  • I need some help with my pics how can i print them out.

  • Guys, it is very simple : you just have to enter the names of your contacts with the IDD prefix in front, for instance +61 414 ...... then the contact name will appear on the screen when you receive SMS. In fact this problem happens on a lot of handsets on the market

  • i have got the same prob as steven i dont know why the names of people that send me messages dont come up can someone help please

  • how do u save mms pics so u can see them in the camera and save ring tones from mms

  • I got this phone 4 christmas i know how to use it but i need to know how to call people and dont show my number cos it looks great i love it except of my calls and messages dont tell me who they are from Please help me 6/10

  • i give it a 9/10

  • Can someone plz tell me how to send and recieve picture messages. and also i dunno how to conect to da internet it always cums up with network failure...but other than that it is a fantastic fone, i just luv it...i havnt had any problems with it at all!!!

  • Hey, can anyone please tell me where i can get ringtones for this phone? My personal opinion is that this phone is for ppl who just want to call people.. the technology sucks and it is slow as

  • is it really true that the inbox doesn't show the names of whoever sent you the SMS, only the numbers? I'm considering to buy this buy since it is the cheapest clam-shell type camera phone here (around US$100).

  • I hate this phone. Got it for xmas and i cant stand it, it looks nice and all but i have yet to find a site that lets you dowload ringtones onto it and the camera is so bd wouldnt advise it ay

  • the bird A120 is over all a good phone. some say that the camera is bad but i think it's no different to other really expensive phones! the features are good and are easy to use, although for some people who arn't up to scrach with this technology it might be a bit difficult,but thats why there is a bird A120 guide witch is fairly easy to follow! this phone is slim and stillish and very compact!typing a message is easy and quick, i've had it for two days now and i would have to give it a 7/10.

  • I don't know quite what to make of it, i got it for christmas, it seems a tad flimsy and very slow - i can't work out wether i like it or not. and is it just me or does it have the ringtone "understanding in a car crash" by thursday on it? How odd.

  • it is an awsome phone i think if u wanna fone get this one. who cares what type of fone it is a fone is a fone

  • I'm considering buying this phone, but throughout the different opinions I've read here, none of them have really told me the advantages and disadvantages of this phone. Could someone please let me know why this phone should/should not be bought specifically? Some people say the camera is crap, some say it's good. Some people say that it's a really good phone, some people say it's a complete waste. Some people say that you can't tell who's messeged you (!?!?!?) some people don't make a complaint about that. Could someone please be a bit more specific? I haven't been able to find any reviews on this phone at all. Only the people who own it will be able to help me. Sorry. Don't mean to sound rude or demanding. =]

  • this is the madessest phone it aint good in featyres but this a good beginneres phone the thing says cif camera but its really vga well my bird a120 is vga

  • This is one of the worst phones ever made on this planet. I work for a major phone providers support in Australia. The phone has had constant problems since being released. Never ever by this phone. If it is a gift, decline it. Save yourself the hassle. Bin it, don't by it.

  • I saw this phone in a shop and I am planning to get it. But I am not sure if its worth it or not. Any ideas? Thanks

  • can any one tell me how to get ringtones as well as changing the cover if possible.. thanks

  • its cool to have it when working. but what do i do cos mine got a soft waare problem

  • how can you download ringtones they all dont work

  • i think it looks like a pretty cool phone but its not all that practicle. how do i c whu is sending the message to me in my inbox?

  • i am useing the a120 and where do the mms pic save 2 when u save them

  • can someone please tell me a short cut to the fullstop function?

  • I think that it si a good phone it just takes a little getting used to, the reception is not all that good but over all i like it. I may get another mob when this one gives up but untill then i am happy with it

  • The first time i came accross A120{BIRD]. I felt whow that i;ve seen the stuff i was looking for;but the fact that i can not do certain things with the phone like my previous handset i felt disappointed

  • this phone has been a total waste of money. it gets very poor service you have to sit on the tower to get reception. also does not identify sms contact names just numbers very difficult to find out who is smsing you! Over all its going back!

  • OK when i saw the bird A120 I thought wow cool neat and different - but now I regret it! How i see buying a phone is like buying a watch or a car its got to make you look good and feel good and make everyones head turn! so for me this BirdA120 is just a simple A - B kind of a bomb of a car! not fast and make you feel awesome its just to get you by til the next flip fone comes thru......... So yea im suffering and the reception is really bad yet what a waste of money buying the dam phone when i can't download what I WANT onto this phone! oh yea! I want to change phones.....!!!!!

  • It is a good phone considering all of its basic features but the limited memory and connection isolates this phone leaving you no other choice but to delete all of those unwanted/not-so-wanted picture. I think its the downside of this phone.But if your looking for basic flip-flop phone then this one is a candidate.

  • Im lookin for a new cheap flip camera phone and i was wondering if this is the one to get... so far, i think its good but people are saying its a waste of money and not good at all! what is a real examination of this fone?

  • hello i was just wondering if anyone cud help me please!! is the A 120 a good fone or not is the camera good? and can it recieve wallpapers and true tones (real music tones) off the interent seeming as its so new? does it have predictive text imput t9?

  • look i just brought this phone and i want to get ringtones and stuff for it butt i dont know where to get it can anyone help but other other then that its ok it will do

  • My first time of seeing this type of phone and to me is very nice and i want to make surprise present to my wife, but what is confusing me is that one can see only the outside of it and what about inside, all just simply show the layout of this beatiful camera phone. Regards,

  • okay

  • bird is a good phone & ever one enjoy it am so happy that bird phone finaly came into my country nigerai i use to see it on the televition or internat so i hope bird help to make it to ever part of the world.

  • nice but how do i get to see the inside

  • i want to learn to compose and download a ringtone to my bird A120.and maybe some oyher guide lines on other hidden agendas.thank you

  • Looks-wise - beautiful. If I'm in South Africa can I get this with SIM connectivity and how do I go about acquiring this beauty. Don't know of Bird in SA.

  • it's look nice but don't know the feattures ok or not...

  • erm.... i don't know actually.. Sorry... e-bays sells a lot of stuff... and i don't know...

  • Or maybe any link where I can buy the phone online. I'll really appreciate it.

  • I am from China, and I will tell that no one use Bird in China... Je vienx de la Chine, et je peux vous dire que personne utilise le portable de Bird en Chine

  • adrien, I am in US. Can you give me a link where I can buy the phone.

  • hi ask4it, i buy my a120 in kl. where are you from?

  • Where can I buy this phone?

  • can i download anything for my a120 phone? music or wallpapers???? where 2 find???

  • Quite good Man!!!!

  • I think chinabird a120 is a total waste of money. But the things that concern me is that the phone always hangs at the wrong time. The Camera is not VGA and the image taken is not clear. It just bought it on dec 2004 n i regret it very much. Another Thing is that the respond of the menu when you push the menu button and select function is quite slow. it took about 2-4 second before you can confirm certain action. When you browse the album for the photos u taken, it is very slow 2 view the next photo. IT's like using my pentium 1 233mhz on windows XP. Any Way, the design of the phone is quite nice. I don't know how long it can stick with this phone but if wallpaper n music for this bird a120 is finally available, maybe i can change my mind about it. I give it 3/5

  • Looks like a TERMINATOR phone. Half mortal and half metal/robot with a glowing red eye in the centre.
