People from around the world think that romanian are the gipsy's of europe. But....man!!!! Even here in a "third world country" i can't buy that not even to my 7 year child cose the other kids make fun of him!!! I think this is a joke to phone technology and even my gramma think that this is some kind of ugly remote.:)))) Wake up boys and smell the 21 th.

  • How can I remove Phone lock permanently

  • i bought it n after egzakly 5 minits i found that its not worth a penny i meen hey only 1 game no infrared no blutooth no cam. i think thats enuf!!! so.. think

  • ha even if i doesnt use it and just saw it for me it still ugly

  • I saw this phone in the shop and fell in love with it. The phone seems very well built. I like the unpretentious design, simple and neat, prefer this over the bird vertu looksalike. Yes, I agree it does not have all the bells and whistles, but it serves its purpose as a simple phone for communications. I am interested to hear from owners of this phone on its reliability. I suspect its 4 buttons scroll is more reliable than the "joystick" that my ericsson phones.

  • i do not care what others say about this phone.what i know is, if you have any device capable of communicating why not use it?anyway it is still called a technology? i myself have this kind of phone and i have am very satisfied. i like the way it looks and it is so handy. so what if it lacks some features that other phones have? it has a very cool feature that lets you enjoy sending and receiving messages and calls. its battery lasts long too.it is monophnic too. you can download 5 tones.i love this kind of phone! t looks exactly what i really wanted!

  • what kind of brain those the designer of phone have? had they realize that we are now in a new technology? so did they made this kind of a crop phone its so ugly low technology low of features..another comment for birdS299 it has FM,GPRS and yes it has a polophonic but i hate its features...

  • you can't expect more from Bird phones. you'll should know it's cheap and moreover it's chineeeeeeeees chingy stuff and they don't have any quality control. their products are not even meant for third world countries.

  • Retro cool! beats searching for a nokia 800 series. been looking for a european supplier- cant find anywhere that retails them. m

  • Awais. You do not have this phone as people buying this phone could not be clever enough to use a computer.

  • Hey this is the phone i needed its the simplest and cheapest in price i love it ,it got design look and yeps other people telling it crap so we use phone for phone not for playing games taking pictures listening to songs its just wastage of time i have this phone and love it

  • looks like a portable walkie'talkie hahaha...haaaayyy...what happend to the mind of this designer? they seems so lack of smatness...i think this toy is good only for maids..

  • it IS a phone, wherein you can make and receive a call, and THAT's all about it.

  • This is the worst mobile phone i've ever seen. Should be removed from circulation.No GPRS ,NO WAP,B&W,monophonic& almost no memory at all. Birds wake up pls.

  • LMAO, this is called a phone, in 2005?!?! WTF is wrong with these people at Bird? My TV remote control looks nicer. :)) cheers

  • Imran. Its called "phone" not "fone". No you do not want to buy it, so stop telling us stories.

  • i am buying this fone

  • anyone who says this fone is good is a bird agent trying to promote their products. This phone is crap, dont believe anyone who tells you its good because their full of it.

  • yuck what kind of a toy is that so ugly..

  • r u all kidding me...this phone is crap...with all the current modern features...i wouldn't even look at this phone once...much less twice

  • Mike Why is you spelling so bad? Please correct your sentences before posting them in a prog. like word. Or people might think your a Bird agent.

  • Mike. If you would like to buy this phone in Europe you will have to look at the scrap heap sites. This phone is not made for the european market. To be honest I do not think it has a market at all. It is probably directed at countries where people consider 10 USD an astronomical amount.

  • Nobody seems to get the point! This phone is for old people who cant come to grips with modern technology its not meant to be sleek or full of features its meant to be simple. All the posts saying its fantastic is by the makers or promoters of the phone

  • i am looking at the phone for a long time. i want to get a hand on those but i have no idea where to approach it. does anyone know how to get them if i am locate in europe

  • I would like to buy a phone like this... it is so amazing and full of new features other phones like Nokia does not include on their new phones. The design is also so... briliant.

  • Definately a top fone.. already bought 3 of them and it is the best i have ever used.... if we were back in 1995 probably..

  • this is one of the stylish phone i have seen in ages.... amazing... this is a must get phone .... i am using it and i found it exceptionally easy to use... the ringtone and the sound quality is excellent.. you also have a simple calculator on the phone

  • are they srious?!!!! what the hell is this. with the tecnology we have now couldnt they build something better? they realy need to fire there designer!!!!!!!!

  • This looks like a top fone. Imaculate design.
