  • my Bird S288 has been with me for 3 years now ... it still works except the keypad gives me problem for the past 6 months ... its not tactile anymore ... hard to press keys ...

  • The phone is good but it doesnt show the names of the one sent the message is not seen at first.

  • the key pads is giving me problem pls i dont know why

  • i bought my bird 288 last june 2004 but until now my phone is still ok.

  • The phone is slim which makes it very comfortable, the battery is also good it stays long, the hands free too is good but a far from these nothing is so special about the phone, though it is cheap but it doest'nt have any facilities and is not user friendly.

  • i bought this phone bcoz i like the design... but what i dont know is that the keypad is very hard to use... the only special in this phone is the handsfree...

  • Yah, i like the design of this fone because it's so slim but the features it's so yucki... specially the kypad its so hard to press, its not advisable to used.

  • the fone is just ok... even my gf owns one of this... she's kogtong..lol

  • V V Sexy raunchy phone

  • ya my people i love bird too much ...i will never live bird ..but the problem is that its does not have vibrate and ring ..pls can some ome tell me why .... meekeywise

  • please can anyone help me send the manual for bird s288 series, I lost mine please anyone should kindly help. this my email id: [email protected]

  • This phone is extreamly good in size and fashionable but the problem is poor network,hard keys,short on words when messaging and taking long on its initialization process.Thanks

  • I've been using this phone for the last 2 years, still going very smooth. Yes, it doesn't have a camera, mp3 player, WAP, GPRS, bluetooth or not even a handsfree, but it serves the purpose. The biggest advantage I find in this phone is the battery charge. Even after being a moderate user, I need to charge my mobile once a week only. Very rarely I have to charge it the fifth day. Also, no other phone has this sleek look so far. Wish to see the same model with handsfree, atleast.

  • this was my sixth phone. affordable. very slim. which is good if you're always on the go and need to walk around light. but very difficult to navigate. keys sometimes stick. but for calls, generally good. had to give it to my brother.

  • Hi,I like birds288 its a slim phone.The battery is very good,but it has a serious network problem and I need some extra tones. massa

  • Guys....can anyone pls tell me if the Bird S288 supports conference facility...i.e. can I make another call when I'm aleady on a call??? Pls its kinda urgent...Thx

  • i will be glad if u can send me any tone apart from those currently on my phone s288 i reaaly hate them my number is 233277063411

  • the only good thing about the phone is its fashionable apart from storing a name into the directrory is a really tough thing to do

  • the phone is fashionable but mine has a problem when i receive a call it switches off, the battery is ok. dont know what to do to get it to normal

  • The phone is not user friendly, it takes a lot of time to search names from the directory. Also typing/send SMS with the phone is a nightmare. Most times it losses network. the only good thing i see in the phone is the battery that is ready to last you for a full week if fully charged.

  • hi every 1 how u guys doin? let me tell u guys about s288 mmmmmm the best thing i like in it the battery i charge it once a week only thats why i like it?

  • the good news is it's a slim phone the bad news is everything else about it.
